I went into coaching just as "life coaching" was taking off. I was determined to train rigorously and to follow the path of positive psychologists like Robert Biswas-Diener, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Barbara Fredrickson, and Martin Seligman. I did not want to be a "life coach"; instead, I wanted to specialise in applied positive psychology using coaching techniques to support women and teenage girls. I have experienced counselling, therapy, CBT, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis - and even though they all have their distinct place in the seasons of our cognitive and emotional life - positive psychology coaching was what resonated with me the most.

​

I have an MSc (Merit) in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London. I am also a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and The British Psychological Society. I combine my coaching with teaching and consultancy projects. Prior to embarking on my Master's degree, I had an international career spanning over two decades in Media, not-for-profit and Education. I speak fluent Portuguese and good French and have lived and worked across the Continent of Europe for much of my life. I have worked for and collaborated with illustrious pan-European organisations such as UEFA, the European Commission, the European Union Youth Orchestra & The British Council.

​

I am a qualified teacher and have years of experience in the independent schools sector. As well as group sessions with Prep/Junior pupils, I also have ample experience coaching Years 5 - 9 online (aged 9/10 upwards). Many of my clients would self-identify as "autistic high-flyers", "high-functioning", or "late-diagnosed autistic". I use my experience and research alongside my understanding of positive psychology to support clients for short periods of concentrated, goal-oriented psychology coaching.
