About Me

As an experienced and compassionate therapist, I offer a supportive space to explore your challenges. I believe in helping individuals empower themselves, guiding you to discover inner strengths and practical ways forward. We can work together to understand what holds you back. This enables you to build a more fulfilling life, an approach ideal for those ready to actively shape their well-being.

Approach

You'll find sessions are carefully paced to match your needs, blending attentive listening with practical steps you can use between meetings. I work with people in Coventry and beyond, offering both in-person appointments and secure online sessions in English or Portuguese. Together we map patterns, use mindfulness and coaching-style questions to shift responses, and create small experiments that build confidence for adolescents, those exploring identity or relationships, or survivors of traumatic experiences. This approach suits people who want practical change alongside compassionate support.
