I am a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. I completed my training at CICS \u2013 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3571,"template":"","specialism":[39,46,92,34,49,93,58,36,48,77,76,50],"modality":[44,79,72,41,40,91,55],"gender":[],"delivery_method":[30,29,31],"works_with":[109,111],"therapist_location":[117],"class_list":["post-3570","therapists","type-therapists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","specialism-anxiety","specialism-attachment","specialism-couples","specialism-fertility","specialism-identity","specialism-lgbtq","specialism-menopause","specialism-relationship-difficulties","specialism-self-esteem","specialism-sex-and-intimacy","specialism-sexual-trauma","specialism-shame","modality-cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt","modality-couples-therapy","modality-gestalt-therapy","modality-humanistic-therapy","modality-person-centred-therapy","modality-pluralistic-therapy","modality-psychodynamic-therapy","delivery_method-in-person","delivery_method-online","delivery_method-phone","works_with-adults","works_with-couples","therapist_location-hove"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
