CBT Therapist and Chartered Psychologist. Where mental health, justice, and social change meet.
CBT Therapist and Chartered Psychologist. Where mental health, justice, and social change meet.
I support global organisations, international NGOs, public services, community initiatives, educational institutions, and cross-border programs in developing trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and evidence-based approaches to practice.
My areas of expertise encompass navigating complex systemic challenges, including gender-based violence, domestic abuse, migration-related trauma, social inclusion, and forensic psychological presentations.
Consultancy services are tailored to the distinct cultural, linguistic, and operational realities of each country or international development framework, encompassing service design and policy implementation.

I provide specialised professional training, capacity-building workshops, and interactive webinars for international organisations, practitioners, community services, and multidisciplinary teams.
Key topics focus heavily on understanding trauma in migration contexts, cross-cultural competence, trauma-informed criminal justice practices, and preventing burnout within high-pressure international aid environments.
Training can be delivered seamlessly online or in person, adapted to your local regional context and specific linguistic needs.
Tailored to the unique cultural backgrounds, multi-jurisdictional needs, and international goals of your organisation.
Addressing migration and psychological wellbeing, structural trauma, and fostering deep psychological recovery and resilience across borders.
Implementing international survivor-centred practice, analyzing coercive control, and assessing the psychological impact of cross-border abuse.
Developing trauma-informed criminal justice practices, managing complex presentations, and supporting cross-border youth violence prevention.
Enhancing cultural competence, supporting highly vulnerable or displaced populations, and mitigating the impact of systemic discrimination.
I collaborate extensively with international NGOs, humanitarian charities, global universities, research institutions, public sector services, and cross-border development projects.
I hold a specialised focus on establishing partnerships across Portuguese-speaking countries (CPLP), bringing targeted experience to initiatives across Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé e Príncipe.
