More about Regina

- HCPC, BACP
I am a qualified Counsellor Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and a Psychodynamic Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I initially graduated in Psychology in Brazil and went on to train in Psychodynamic Counselling in the UK. I also spent a year studying Trauma & Psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic.
I have extensive experience working with adults and the elderly in educational, community and health sectors. I have worked within diverse boroughs in London with people from all walks of life providing long- and short-term psychotherapy. I have a special interest in working with expats and people from different cultures. I offer psychotherapy in English, Portuguese and French.
My approach to therapy is based on psychoanalysis and object relations, where I pay attention to past and present experiences, relational traumas and how they affect your life now, repetitive behaviours and ways of being that often have their roots in childhood and especially in family relationships.
I offer a warm and confidential space where you can bring what troubles you and, together, I will help you to make sense of your experiences, change unhelpful patterns and work towards living a more fulfilling life.
I invite you to embark on this journey…

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
