Additional Information: I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Portugal, holding a Master's Degree in Clinical and Health Psychology. I work with adolescents and adults using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within an evidence-based, compassionate, and values-oriented approach. I have postgraduate training in Third-Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (ACT, Mindfulness and DBT) and Psychopharmacology. My clinical interests include anxiety disorders, perfectionism, self-criticism, procrastination, emotional regulation, and psychological flexibility. I provide therapy in both Portuguese and English.
Alongside my clinical work, I have a strong interest in the intersection between psychology, creativity, and community. I believe that emotional well-being is fostered not only through individual therapy but also through meaningful relationships, artistic expression, and participation in supportive communities. I have been involved in community-based artistic projects, particularly through music and group interventions, as a way of promoting connection, inclusion, and psychological well-being.
