I work with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, ADHD, and the deeper, often unspoken questions around meaning, purpose, and identity. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling lost, numb, or overwhelmed, unsure how to move forward, or make change. I believe real change begins with movement, even if it’s small, even if it’s sideways. My role is to help you create that movement, with honesty, and compassionate challenge. I’ll meet you with warmth and calm, but I won’t just nod and smile. I’m here to help you do the work, to face what’s hard, take ownership of your life, and create real momentum.
My approach is integrative therapy and grounded in both depth and practicality. I draw from coaching, somatic practices, CBT, ACT, DBT, parts work, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. I also support clients in cultivating wellbeing through lifestyle foundations, exercise, nutrition, and sustainable daily habits.
I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to feel stuck and I know that change is possible. My work is rooted in the belief that if you’re willing to show up for yourself, we can build something new. The path forward isn’t always linear, but it always begins with a decision for change.

As a person centred trained counsellor with over 11 years of experience, I provide a safe space to explore your issues and guide you on your journey of self-discovery. Through my work, I have adapted the use of different models of counselling depending on the client’s needs. By working together, we will explore your life, helping you gain clarity and discover ways to make sense of your emotions so that you can move forward in a positive way. As everyone is different, I take the time to understand your specific situation so I can tailor your therapy to your individual needs.

I have never met a client who needs to be "fixed" yet I have met a lot who didn't have the space free of judgment to share their emotions, struggles, concerns or issues. Reaching out for help is the first step and I would offer you the next one: the safe space to be heard and take the next steps towards a better future.

Hi, I'm Douglas, an MA integrative psychotherapist and mental health professional with over 15 years of experience helping adults and families in the healthcare sector. I offer online therapy to adults navigating a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, divorce, identity exploration, and life transitions. I warmly welcome everyone, and I have worked highly with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community. I also welcome immigrants and people of all racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
My integrative approach draws from transactional analysis, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These frameworks allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, values, and personal history, always in collaboration with you. I bring warmth, cultural sensitivity, and a grounded presence to the therapeutic space.
As a Brazilian therapist, I value the importance of identity, context, and the diverse experiences that shape who we are. I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese. If you're not comfortable with video calls at first, I’m happy to begin with telephone therapy, which I have been successfully using for a few years. Please note- My services are for age 16+
