I am a Brazilian-born and London-based Counselling Psychologist and Gestalt Psychotherapist. I currently offer sessions online via Zoom, and face-to-face therapy in London. I have over 10 years of experience as a practitioner psychologist and have worked with people across the lifespan and in varied contexts, including the private, public and third sectors, and with multidisciplinary teams. My work is rooted in an integrative and trauma-informed approach. I focus on supporting adults and young people through significant life transitions, including traumatic experiences and relational challenges. For this, I believe therapy should be a safe, reflective, and collaborative space. I see the individual holistically, and this means that I understand emotions, mind and body as expressions of your unique self, which are inter-connected and part of one whole you. All are welcome. // If you would like to know more you can also check my website https://ipetherapy.com
Therapy will be as a safe, experimental space to explore and embrace all aspects of yourself. For the first few weeks, we will to get to know each other, explore what has brought you to therapy, and identify what you would like to work on. We may look at your current concerns, past experiences, and what you hope to gain from this process. During the whole of the therapeutic process, you are welcome bring to the session your experiences, whether this relates to past or current challenges. You will be heard, seen, and valued in a safe and non-judgmental space. You will have the opportunity to explore different parts of yourself, reflect on your experiences, and increase awareness into your patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we will work towards helping you feel more connected to your unique and authentic self.
