More about Valeria

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • ACA

Hello, my name is Valeria. I am a Neuropsychologist and Registered Counsellor in Australia, with a professional background in Brazil and experience working across diverse cultural contexts. Although English is not my first language, I am continually learning and developing, which allows me to deeply understand the challenges of adaptation, communication, and emotional growth in different cultural contexts.

I hold a degree in Psychology from Universidade Paulista (UNIP), Brazil, and a specialisation in Neuropsychology from CBI of Miami. I have also completed additional studies at Harvard University. I am currently undertaking a Master of Health Management at ECA College of Health Sciences in Australia.

I have extensive experience in clinical and healthcare settings, supporting individuals at different stages of life in managing emotional difficulties, stress, anxiety, and personal transitions.

I believe that emotional wellbeing begins in a safe, compassionate, and respectful environment, a space where you feel truly heard and understood. My intention is to walk alongside you on your journey of balance, personal development, and self-discovery, supporting you in building a more meaningful and authentic life.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
