My Journey to Life Coaching.

As a Personal Development Life Coach, I bring my own personal journey of growth, setbacks, and transformation into the work I do with my clients. Life has tested me in ways that many can relate to, and these experiences have shaped my resilience, insight, and the tools I now use to help others navigate their challenges and achieve their goals, no matter where they start.

Overcoming Challenges

My path to personal growth began with a deep desire to understand myself better. Pursuing a degree in Psychology and Counselling allowed me to make sense of my past, face the traumas I had experienced, and gain clarity on what I truly wanted in life. I promised myself that I would become a better person, and this commitment is at the heart of my coaching philosophy.

Navigating Life's Transitions

I understand what it feels like to face uncertainty and feel out of place. As a young child, I moved from Mozambique to Lisbon, where I faced bullying and struggled to adapt to a new educational system. These early challenges taught me the power of resilience and the importance of adapting to new environments. Whether you’re navigating a career change, adjusting to a new culture, or trying to find your footing in life, I can help you shift your mindset and build the confidence to move forward.

Building Emotional Resilience

Growing up in a complicated family environment, I learned how difficult it can be to find your voice amid chaos. My father’s separation when I was 13 left me feeling displaced, but instead of letting these challenges define me, I focused on developing self-reliance and creating stability in uncertain circumstances. If you're dealing with difficult family dynamics or facing a life transition, I can help you regain clarity and navigate these challenges with compassion and practical strategies.

Overcoming Fear of Failure

I’ve also faced the fear of failure first hand. My first business venture in Mozambique was hindered by the country’s complex bureaucracy, but I didn’t give up. Instead, I learned from those setbacks and refined my approach, ultimately building a successful career in Talent Development within a leading global Oil and Gas organisation. If you've ever felt stuck after a failure, or uncertain about your career path, I can help you rediscover your strengths and create a strategy to move forward with confidence.

The Power of Self-Care and Mental Clarity

A turning point in my journey was facing an acute mental health crisis, which made me realise the fragility of the mind. This experience led me to explore the Art of Living, a practice that includes breathing exercises, meditation, and self-reflection. It helped me reclaim my mental clarity and sense of purpose. I now see that achieving your goals requires more than effort— a balanced mind and a sense of inner peace. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling with mental exhaustion, I can guide you toward practices that restore your focus and help you stay on track with your aspirations.

The Role of Mentorship

Along my journey, I’ve had mentors who supported me during times of uncertainty. These experiences have shown me the value of mentorship, and I’ve embraced this role myself, guiding others through their challenges. Whether helping the Portuguese community in London adapt to a new life or supporting colleagues through career transitions, I’ve seen firsthand how having someone who believes in you can make all the difference. As your coach, I’ll be that person for you—offering guidance, support, and accountability as you work toward your goals.

I know that achieving your goals can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you can overcome anything holding you back with the right mindset, tools, and support. Together, we’ll create a clear action plan and break through any obstacles standing in your way.
