About Beatriz
She runs open-ended psychotherapy and prefers to shape sessions around the particular conversation each person needs. Sessions draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and feelings. She also uses approaches that focus on how thoughts, behaviours and attachment experiences affect day-to-day life.
Beatriz has worked in higher education, community and healthcare settings, and has an independent practice in Oxford. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and is aware of the stresses that come with migration and cultural change.
In therapy she invites people to talk about what is worrying them and how those concerns show up in relationships and work. Practical coping strategies and ways to notice recurring patterns are part of the work when useful. People who are uncertain about next steps or struggling with a change can explore options during sessions.
She provides an initial meeting to discuss whether ongoing psychotherapy would suit your needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so the two of you can assess the fit together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Beatriz uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and repeated patterns. This approach helps when past connections influence current choices and relationship problems.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT offers practical techniques for managing symptoms and testing new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That discussion happens in the first sessions and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of ways to meet, and Beatriz will discuss practical options so sessions fit into everyday life.
