About Me

I have been providing psychological counselling since 2017. I have worked and volunteered with NGOs, schools, and psychological centres — and continue to do so today.

During my university years, I studied how people construct their future and how queer individuals navigate coming out. Science and ethics play a central role in my professional and personal life. They shape the boundaries and methods of my work. I use approaches and techniques that have at least some scientific validation, yet I fully respect when clients turn to other forms of support, as long as they do not cause harm.

Alongside my private practice, I teach counselling at the Psychodemia online school. I have also worked in the clinical department of the Alter psychologist matching service.

I have been in personal psychotherapy for over eight years and regularly attend supervision and advanced training. I am a licensed psychologist in Portugal (OPP No. 31348), a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS), and a member of the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST, No. 85727311).
