I’m a chartered and registered Clinical Psychologist practitioner. I qualified as a psychologist in 2008. I did my training in Portugal (‘Licensure’) which is academically equivalent to the British Clinical Psychology doctorate. I studied at the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences of Algarve University in Faro, Portugal. I did a full-time year placement in an internationally known Early Intervention Service in the city of Coimbra (Projecto Integrado de Intervencao Precoce), where I provided psychological assessments and interventions to children and parents/carers, and participated in different projects promoting social inclusion and emotional health awareness. I’ve undergone professional placements in two other services, namely in the National Health System where I worked with all age groups for 9 months (Health Centre of Faro), and in a council service (Junta de Freguesia da Se) for 13 months. In Portugal, I did further post-graduate training in Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy during 1 year which is accredited by the Portuguese Association of Behavioural Therapy and by the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies.
