I am 46 years old and mother of a 12th years girl. Degree in Psychology (2001), Post-graduate in Family Therapy (2002), and Child Development Disorders (2003); Master (2006) and PhD (2011) in Health Psychology from the University of Minho - Portugal. Title of Specialist in Clinical and Health, Education and Community Psychology by the Order of Portuguese Psychologists (OPP); Supervisor and Advisor of Internships (OPP); Relational Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (in training at PsiRelacional - Portugal). Member of APA and IARPP International. Since 2001 I have been working in the context of private clinic, with children, adolescents and adults, whether in the field of education, clinical and, more recently, relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This was the approach that made the most sense to me, namely because of the emphasis given to the relationship, to what happens in the here and now and to feeling. Psychotherapy is a way of being in life and a life project, which is reflected professionally but also in my personal relationships. I also develop my professional activity in a school contexts (since 2003) with children and adolescents (from 3 to 18 years old), families, teachers and school staff. I develop psychological and psychotherapeutic consultation in public contexts, I am part of the multidisciplinary team to support inclusive education and more recently a project in the field of welcoming migrant students. Despite some challenges, this is also a way to bring relational psychoanalysis closer to people. I have also worked in higher education as a teacher and researcher, in the training of young university students and professionals (teachers and school staff), in psychology and education signatures.
