About me
Dr Joana Sequeira
Clinical Psychologist
I'm a specialist Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience within the public and private sectors in the UK, Netherlands and Portugal, treating clients with mild, moderate and severe mental health difficulties.
I use trauma-informed care and strengths-based approaches in my clinical work and implement interventions tailored to each individual's needs, background, and circumstances.
I have excellent engagement and clinical skills. I have worked in various clinical settings such as NHS inpatient Acute Psychosis services, a Crisis team, Inpatient and outpatient CAMHS services, community learning disabilities and Autism services, a Priory Special Needs School and private practices.
Through the therapeutic process, I support clients in feeling more in control of their difficulties by providing information about coping strategies for their mental health difficulties, improving their communication skills, helping them learn how to resolve conflict, restoring lost trust and intimacy, and discussing ways to strengthen their support systems.
My vision when working therapeutically with clients is to support them in leading more fulfilling, meaningful, and productive lives by helping them become more aware of their difficulties, how they affect their lives, and, more importantly, how to cope with them. I am fluent in both English and Portuguese.
Areas of interest
