I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the IACP (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Fluent in both English and Portuguese. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate life's challenges with understanding and professional support.

BSc Honours in Counselling & Psychotherapy
Certificate in Counselling & Psychotherapy
Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Affirmative Psychosocial Interventions for LGBTQIA+ Individuals

Beyond my professional qualifications, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and those facing significant life transitions. 

My volunteer work with LGBT Ireland and Foróige (Irish association) has further enriched my ability to provide inclusive and affirming therapy.
