Personal Consulting

As a therapist, I view life as this rich tapestry with many story lines, narratives and situations making us who we are. I also believe that one size does not fit all, and no two people are the same. Like yours, my background is varied:

Brazilian born, I immigrated to England 12 years ago after a lifetime of moving around. While in Brazil, I worked at hospitals settings with terminally ill as well as psychiatric patients.

Already in Oxford, I volunteered for many years at a reputable local charity which provides affordable Counselling to a wide range of individuals in our local community, who wouldn't have access to private practice otherwise.

I am an Associate Counsellor at the University of Oxford, and offer Counselling to students from all over the world, from different age groups and needs.  

I partnered with Reducing the Risk, a local independent service as a Domestic Violence Adviser, supporting individuals at high risk of significant harm or trauma due to abuse.

Before working full-time in private practice, I spent a decade in Consulting and Corporate RH, and a few of those as a Senior Officer. That has given me an understanding of the pressures of high-performance environments.

I am a researcher at heart, and I proudly remain an International Scientific Board Member at the Journal of Psychology from the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) 

Currently, I am furthering my advanced studies in Psychodynamic Practice with the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF), a qualification which is allowing me to refine and develop my skills in supporting you.
