I offer a supportive, grounded, and reflective space for those seeking help with life’s
challenges, as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply aware that something needs
attention—even if you’re not yet sure what that is.
My approach is both intuitive and informed. Alongside a compassionate presence, I work
actively and may offer thoughtful challenge or bring attention to what feels just beneath
the surface, in service of deeper awareness and growth.
My work is integrative and transpersonal, attending to both emotional wellbeing and the
deeper layers of meaning, purpose, and inner experience. Many of the people I work with
are seeking not only relief from current difficulties, but a deeper exploration of
themselves and their patterns.
I draw on relational, somatic, and creative approaches—including dreams, meditation,
and mindful awareness—to help you explore patterns, process experience, and reconnect
with your inner resources, from which qualities such as resilience, courage, and clarity
can emerge.
Alongside this, I integrate insights from neuroscience to support an understanding of how
experiences are held in the brain and body, particularly in relation to stress, trauma, and
regulation, and how meaningful, lasting change can emerge over time.
I have extensive experience working with complex emotional and relational dynamics,
and bring a depth-oriented, relational approach to my work.

I am a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. I completed my training at CICS – Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology. This contemporary and pluralistic training equipped me with a diverse therapeutic toolkit, including interventions from a wide range of modalities such as CBT, Humanistic, Gestalt, etc. This breadth allows me to collaborate with clients in creating a tailored therapeutic plan that respects their unique needs, histories and hopes for change.
Central to my practice is the creation of a safe, non judgmental, and inclusive environment where clients can explore personal topics at their own pace.
My approach is person centred, trauma informed, and grounded in science, with a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I draw from a holistic biopsychosocial lens to help clients understand themselves and their relationships with greater clarity. I balance compassion with gentle challenge, supporting clients to develop emotional resilience, self acceptance and further ways of relating.
My background in Biomedical Engineering and IT programming, shaped my appreciation for systems, complexity and the interplay between mind and body. My journey from engineering to therapy reflects a shift from binary, solution focused thinking to an approach that embraces nuance, curiosity, and genuine human connection. One of my natural skills is to listen beyond words.
At the heart of my work is a simple intention: to support clients on their journey to having healthier and fulfilled sex lives and relationships with others and themselves.
My practice supports clients with a wide range of concerns related to: erections, low desire, pain, orgasms, sexuality or gender identity, kinks and fetishes, compulsive sexual behaviour, sexual health, fertility, childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence or sexual violence.
I am a registered member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists – COSRT and I abide by their Code of Ethics and Practice.
I offer individual and relationship therapy in both English EN) and Portuguese (PT), available online or in person in the Brighton and Hove area.

With over thirty years of experience working with people from all walks of life, I understand how complex and varied our journeys can be. I’m passionate about creating a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported — wherever you are in your story.
As a trauma-informed and EMDR-trained therapist, I work with individuals and couples around a wide range of issues, with particular specialisms in psychosexual therapy, relationships, and trauma recovery. I also provide supervision for fellow therapists and practitioners, offering a collaborative and reflective space to grow in confidence and insight.
My approach is warm, empathic, and non-judgemental. I believe therapy should feel like a safe haven — a place where you can explore what’s troubling you, make sense of your experiences, and begin to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.
At New Horizons Network, my aim is to help you find hope and possibility, even in the most difficult times — supporting you to create new ways of living, relating, and being.
