IDENTITY AND EXPERIENCE
Who am I
I graduated in Clinical Psychology at Paris V University, and I have over two decades of experience in the field. A relevant part of my professional journey, however, took place in corporate environments in top management roles. This is an unusual combination for a psychologist, and it has given me a firsthand experience and understanding of the realities of modern life outside my practice, and of the pressures that any adult, in active life or not, is subject to.
Over more than twenty years of practice, I have helped countless people to deal with their problems, get to the roots of their problems, and discover new paths towards a new and happier way of being. In this journey, I have kept myself up to date through regular learning and training.
​
I’m a registerd member of the Portuguese Psychological Association (OPP nº 10330).
MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF LISTENING AND COUNSELING
PATHS WE WALK TOGETHER
Psichology, Psichotherapy and Counseling
I’m a member of the Portuguese Society for the Client Centred Psychotherapy and the Person Centred Approach. When adequate, I also used tools from other scientifically suppoted methods, such as Mindfulness. Recently, I have started using outcome measurement questionnaires, for which there’s a growing body of evidence of helping duration and efficacy of the intervention.
Psychology, Psychotherapy, Counselling, Coaching… many are the names given to the different forms of interventions in Psychology. All of them aim to help a person increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and thus develop a new way of being, more balanced and more open to life. If there is a difference between them, it is more in the goals of the person seeking help, goals that can go from immediate and practical solutions to an in-depth process of self-discovery and inner growth.
