About Bruna
Hello! I’m Bruna, a counsellor with a passion for helping individuals navigate the challenges of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. As someone who also lives with chronic pain, I understand the unique struggles and emotional complexities that accompany this journey—from changes to relationships, navigating complex diagnoses and needing to adapt daily activities. I believe in fostering a safe, inclusive, and collaborative environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I hope you will find your power and become able to lead a more fulfilling life, even amidst pain and emotional distress.
I utilize evidence-based approaches, mostly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help you with your emotional struggles effectively. We will work together to develop psychological flexibility, allowing you to engage more fully in life despite your challenges. I am also trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. I can offer counselling in Portuguese and Spanish as well.
My practice is inclusive and welcoming to people from all backgrounds and identities. I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs. Together, we will explore your goals, identify barriers, and develop practical strategies to enhance your quality of life. Please get in touch with me for a free consultation so we can start.
