More about Camila

  • 10 years' experience

I am a Brazilian-trained psychologist and a Level 4 Counsellor with the ACA (Australian Counselling Association). My goal is to offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to help adolescents and adults navigate their emotional challenges.

My therapeutic practice is grounded in Psychoanalysis, integrating deep emotional support with effective regulation and self-awareness techniques. I utilise mind-body tools to promote holistic well-being:

. Psychoanalysis: Exploring unconscious processes to understand the root of conflicts and foster deep transformation.

. HeartMath (Breathwork): A powerful resource for anxiety management, stress reduction, and somatic reconnection.

. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) & Hypnotherapy: Complementary tools to reframe patterns and access internal healing resources.

I tailor my work to the individual needs of adolescents and adults, with specific experience and dedication in:

. Trauma: Support in processing and overcoming painful or distressing life experiences.

. Perinatal Mental Health: Specialised support for women throughout the pre- and post-natal periods.

. Management of anxiety, chronic stress, and the pursuit of emotional balance.

I am here to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery and emotional empowerment. Let’s connect.

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.
