Therapy for life abroad, emotional healing and self-understanding.
A safe, confidential space for Brazilians and Portuguese speakers in the UK and abroad to explore anxiety, relationships, grief, identity and life transitions.
“You don't have to go through this alone.”
You do not have to go through this alone.
Therapy is a space to slow down, be heard and make sense of what you are feeling. Sessions are offered in Portuguese or English, online or in person where available — at the pace that feels right for you.
Pause, listen, and find your way back to yourself.
Therapy is a quiet place to put words to what feels heavy — without rush, without judgement.
Whatever you are carrying, it can be put into words.
A therapeutic space rooted in care, experience and language.
Catia is a Brazilian psychologist and psychotherapist with clinical experience in Brazil and the UK. She works integratively, combining Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and is a member of the BPS and BACP.
Meet Catia
Living between cultures asks something of us.
Distance from family, language and identity, loneliness, the quiet pressure to adapt, rebuilding work and relationships — these belong in the therapy room too. Sessions in your first language can make it easier to find the words.
