Hi, my name is Ana Paula. I am currently pursuing a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, with a special focus on Existential Therapy. My studies are grounded in exploring how existential themes influence the therapeutic process and support clients in navigating life’s challenges. I bring a broad and compassionate understanding to my psychotherapy practice. In addition to my therapeutic work, I have over 10 years of experience as a wellbeing coach, supporting clients from all walks of life to improve their mental and emotional health. As a Trainee Psychotherapist registered with the UKCP and a graduate trainee with the British Psychological Society (BPS), I adhere to their ethical guidelines, creating a safe, trusting, and non-judgemental environment where you can explore whatever is on your mind,at your own pace. My goal is to support you in understanding your unique journey, fostering personal growth and self-discovery, so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I believe that a strong, collaborative, and respectful therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful progress. I am deeply committed to supporting you in a way that is tailored, respectful, and empowering. I offer sessions in both English and Portuguese and look forward to the opportunity to work with you in a meaningful and transformative way.
