A structured, evidence-informed process for understanding patterns, developing more flexible responses, and turning insight into action — in everyday life, relationships, and decisions.
Neuropsychological Counselling (NPC) is a structured approach integrating applied behavioural neuroscience, psychoeducation, and evidence-informed tools. It makes automatic patterns more observable and turns self-understanding into responses that are more flexible, autonomous, and aligned with what matters.
“Each of you is perfect the way you are...And you can use a little improvement.”
Shunryu Suzuki Roshi
Areas of work
What are you looking for?
Explore areas that may guide an initial conversation. Themes can overlap and evolve throughout the process.
Emotional regulation and self-compassion
Recognise body signals, emotions, and thoughts so you can respond with greater steadiness, inner space, and kindness towards yourself.
Cognitive flexibility
Notice rigidity, broaden perspectives, and experiment with more adaptive responses, including ACT-based tools.
Attention, planning, and executive functions
Develop strategies for attention, working memory, organisation, task initiation, decision-making, and monitoring.
Communication, relationships, and intimacy
Work on expression, listening, boundaries, relational cycles, trust, desire, and affective choices with greater awareness.
Life transitions and direction
Clarify values, decisions, and next steps during bereavement, separation, migration, career changes, or identity shifts.
Cognitive health and ageing
Support routines, autonomy, emotional adaptation, and meaningful participation throughout ageing.
How it works
From insight to real-life change
Understanding is only the beginning. NPC helps you notice, test, and integrate new ways of responding in the life you actually live.
We trace how body signals, emotions, thoughts, behaviour, relationships, and context interact — revealing the patterns behind recurring difficulties.
Clear, evidence-informed psychoeducation helps you understand automatic responses and recognise where greater choice can begin.
You test practical tools and behavioural experiments in real situations, building responses that fit your life rather than relying on insight alone.
What proves useful is refined and carried into relationships, routines, and decisions — helping you act with greater clarity and in line with what matters to you.
The NPC process is organised as a cycle of eight sessions. The free 30-minute initial conversation takes place before the cycle and is not included in those eight sessions.
01
Individual sessions
A structured process for understanding patterns, identifying opportunities for change, and testing tools that can be applied to your routine.
I am prounista and mackenzista, and an MSc student in Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology at the Università degli Studi di Padova (UNIPD).
Based between Ireland and Italy, my experience in hospital settings includes neurodevelopment, healthy ageing, rehabilitation, and changes in consciousness.
Through NPC, I bring together neuropsychology, psychoeducation, behavioural science, and reflective practice to support self-understanding, emotional regulation, and conscious action in everyday life.
Online sessions in Portuguese and English.
Frequently asked questions
Before you begin
What is Neuropsychological Counselling?
It is a counselling and psychoeducational approach integrating evidence-informed components and tools to understand patterns and support change in everyday life.
Does NPC provide diagnosis or neuropsychological assessment?
No. The work presented on this website does not provide diagnosis, neuropsychological assessment, psychotherapy, medical treatment, or emergency support.
Are sessions online?
Yes. Online sessions are available in Portuguese and English.
How does the initial conversation work?
It is a free 30-minute conversation to understand what you are looking for, clarify the scope of NPC, and consider whether the format fits your needs. It takes place before and is not included in the cycle.
How is the process organised?
The NPC process is organised as a cycle of eight sessions. Individual sessions are €50 per session, totalling €400. Couples and relationship sessions are €65 per session, totalling €520.
What should I do in an emergency?
NPC is not an emergency service. If there is immediate risk, contact the emergency services in your area or a local health service.
Initial conversation
Tell me briefly how I can help.
The free 30-minute initial conversation is separate from the eight-session cycle. Online sessions in Portuguese and English.
