My Approach
Transpersonal-Consciential Therapy
My work is grounded in Transpersonal-Consciential Therapy — an integrative approach to human development, self-knowledge and inner transformation, drawing on different areas of training for a broader understanding of each person.
Instituto Brasileiro de Plenitude Humana — Brazil
Training in Transpersonal-Consciential Therapy, Consciential Psychology and the Psychology of Virtues, centred on self-knowledge and the relationship between the Essential Being, the Self and the Ego.
It draws on references from transpersonal studies and human development, and on the practice of virtues as a path to greater self-awareness, emotional balance and personal growth.
The Essential Self and the Ego
We explore the relationship between the Essential Being and the Ego. The Essential Being is our deepest dimension — loving and creative — where virtues exist in a latent state, ready to be recognised and lived.
The Ego is the structure of personality through which we respond to the world. We do not fight against it; we learn to relate to it and to recognise its patterns.
Self-knowledge allows us to transform these patterns, so that we are no longer driven automatically by fear, insecurity or limiting beliefs.
In this way we create greater integration between the personality and the Essential Being, bringing qualities such as compassion, courage and authenticity into everyday life.
- From automatic reaction to conscious choice.
- From conditioning to greater freedom.
- From disconnection to a deeper sense of ourselves.
Alef Trust — United Kingdom
Training in Transpersonal Coaching Psychology (Alef Trust, United Kingdom), integrating psychological research — from Jung to Maslow, mindfulness, meaning and purpose — with holistic approaches. These foundations shape how I support each person.
Seeing the Whole Person
Each person is unique and cannot be understood by looking only at a symptom or behaviour. I seek to see them as a whole — thoughts, emotions, relationships, strengths and potential.
Instead of only asking “What is wrong?”, we begin to ask “What is this experience showing me, and what can I develop from it?” — opening space for self-knowledge and conscious change.
From Understanding to Transformation
Therapy is not only about understanding our difficulties; it is also about developing inner resources that allow us to respond to life in a different way.
We can explore:
- Emotional awareness and regulation
- Self-knowledge and self-acceptance
- Limiting beliefs and recurring patterns
- Relationships and personal boundaries
- Autonomy and decision-making
- Resilience and the capacity to face challenges
- Values, purpose and meaning in life
- The development and practice of the virtues
The aim is to turn awareness into conscious choices and concrete changes in everyday life.
Consciential Education for the Practice of the “Virtues”
Virtues are not merely abstract concepts: they are qualities that can be recognised, developed and practised in daily life — such as compassion, courage, resilience and wisdom — becoming practical tools to face life's challenges.
The process is gradual and dynamic:
- Recognise our patterns without excessive judgement
- Understand the origin and meaning of our reactions
- Embrace our human experience with compassion
- Practise new ways of conscious response
- Transform knowledge into lived experience
The ultimate goal is to make awareness a daily practice, integrating these values into concrete choices and paths of greater wholeness.
My Therapeutic Process
A Journey of Self-Knowledge and Transformation
Therapy is a personal journey and there is no single path that works for everyone.
My approach encourages a gradual and deep process, structured in five essential steps:
- 1
Recognise
Begin to observe what is happening within you: thoughts, emotions, reactions, behaviours, needs and patterns.
- 2
Understand
Explore the origin of certain patterns and how they continue to influence your present experience.
- 3
Embrace
Cultivate self-acceptance and compassion, allowing you to embrace your human experience free from excessive judgement.
- 4
Practise
Develop new ways of responding and consciously exercise qualities and virtues that sustain your well-being and your relationships.
- 5
Transform
Consolidate awareness and practice to create new possibilities of living with more autonomy, resilience, authenticity, balance and meaning.
“Awareness creates possibilities. Practice creates change.”
