Catia soares

GMBPsS registered Psychologist/Therapist/ BANT CNHC Nutritional Therapist/ CMA Sound and gong bath practitioner
I’m 39 years old, originally from Portugal but a Londoner for 16 years now. I identify as a holistic practitioner that is passionate about the mind-body connection and everything that is related with movement, sound and arts. I’m a very practical person, with an optimistic outlook towards life and a genuine enthusiasm to create value in people’s lives and society.
My background
I’ve worked 11 years in the charity sector with people with experiences of homelessness, substance use, severe mental health issues, involvement in the criminal justice system and domestic abuse. In 2019 I qualified as a Naturopath Nutritional Therapist and in 2026 as a Sound and Gong Bath practitioner. I have been in clinical practice since 2020, and since then I’ve also created and developed many workshops, trainings and wellness events for corporate, charities and the wider public, both in the UK, Italy and Portugal. Training, education and group work are also one of my interests, alongside and most recently sound healing as an extension of my holistic interventions. I also work as a Nutritional Therapist supporting people with gut issues, gut-brain mind connection, weight management, disordered eating and mindful eating.
My therapeutic blends evidenced based approaches and techniques such as CBT, ACT, CFT, DBT, IFS and Mindfulness. Whenever appropriate Nutrition and Lifestyle Preventive Medicine may also be integrated as part our journey together. I work with people using a framework of goals and values, focusing on what is important for you right now. I also work on helping you developing day to day emotional resilience and intelligence, self-compassion and growth mindset tools that can support in navigating life and today’s world. My sessions are dynamic and interactive, a combination of active listening but also reflection and practical exercises. Expect serious moments but also laughter and a genuine interest in getting to know you deeply.
