What if ...

… instead of lying awake with your thoughts, you slept soundly? … instead of feeling overwhelmed, you felt steady?… instead of being hard on yourself, you felt at peace?
You might find you had more energy for the people you love. More space to enjoy your life. More of yourself to give.When things feel heavy, it can be hard to imagine feeling any different. But with the right support, change is possible ... and it often starts with a single conversation.

About me

I'm Jael – a counsellor, coach and EFT practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, binge eating and emotional overwhelm.
I work collaboratively and without judgement. My aim is simple: to give you a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely heard — and to help you find the tools and clarity to move forward.
I offer sessions in both English and Portuguese, and work with clients across the UK and Portugal.

How I work

Clients tell me that I am warm, approachable, professional and a good listener. I work collaboratively to discover your unique, individual needs and goals. 
My focus is to provide a neutral space where you feel heard, understood and clear on how to move forward.  
I believe in the healing power of acceptance and empathy. I aim to balance these qualities with cognitive and neuroscience tools to empower you to take charge of your situation. 
 We will explore your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and I will work with you to help you realise your strengths and improve your quality of life.  I invite you to come to counselling with curiosity and an open mind. Let's work together to explore how you can improve your eating and/or reduce anxiety .

Anxiety

Worry, overwhelm, sleepless nights, a mind that won't switch off. Anxiety takes many forms — and it can make even ordinary days feel exhausting. Together we'll explore what's driving it and build practical tools to help you feel steadier, calmer and more in control.

Food and your relationship with eating

Whether you're caught in cycles of binge eating and restriction, using food to cope with difficult feelings, or simply feel like you've lost trust in yourself around food: this is a space without judgement. We'll work gently towards a calmer, freer relationship with eating.

Life Challenges

Grief, loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, major life transitions, the particular pressures of living far from home. Sometimes life simply becomes too much to carry alone. Using a range of approaches including EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), we'll work through what's weighing on you at a pace that feels right for you.
