I am Helen Viana, a devoted Psychodynamic Psychotherapist committed to guiding both children and adults toward emotional well-being and personal growth. The intricacies of how early experiences influence our emotions have always captivated me.
My journey in this field is fuelled by a genuine desire to offer compassionate care and support to individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on children and their families. With over 20 years of experience as a psychologist and psychotherapist, my initial training in clinical psychology in Brazil sparked my passion for working with children and families, leading me to pursue further studies in early infancy and parental guidance.
Driven by a profound interest in psychodynamic studies, I earned a Masterās degree in counselling children and adults with distinction from the University of Essex, solidifying my role as a Psychodynamic Counsellor.
In my work with children, I've learned the importance of creating a secure and empathetic space for them to freely express their feelings. Grounded in psychodynamic principles, my therapeutic approach recognizes the significant influence of a child's early experiences and relationships on their emotional landscape.
Acknowledging the crucial role of the family in a child's life, I collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to offer comprehensive support, aiming to cultivate a nurturing home environment that enhances a child's emotional well-being.
Beyond my therapeutic practice, I'm dedicated to raising awareness about children's mental health issues, actively participating in community workshops, seminars, and webinars to share insights and knowledge with parents, educators, and fellow professionals.
If you're seeking a supportive space for your child's emotional growth, I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a consultation.
