She thoroughly explains what to do to move forward, and puts it as straightforward as I need it. Also explaining why the decision was taken because I tend to pester on it till I get the explanation with details I want.

I believe I made the right choice seeing Ms. Joana to help me work through some issues. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is kind, patient, and a warm person overall, which made it easy for me to share deep personal experiences with her. She listened and was genuinely interested in helping me work through my problems, both during our sessions and via whatsapp as she sent me numerous prompts and activities that I can use when I’m alone. Even after I travelled and discontinued my sessions, she continued to ask about me and I really do appreciate this. Thank you Joana.

I am so grateful that I met Joana, just few sessions together, Joana helped me with deeper self-reflection, finding the parterns in my past experiences, increased my self awareness, discovered myself more, and a better understanding of some of my thoughts, behavior, emotions... Strongly recommend to everyone who is on a self-discovery, self-learning journey...

Joana was very helpful and understanding throughout the discussions. She actively listened to all the details and helped navigate through the issue we were facing creating a safe environment and providing the emotional support needed. Her supported approach helped us navigate the issue we were facing with our toddler to know how handle it in the right way which made a big difference with our toddler behaviour.

Sessions with Joana are very helpful, she listens to me with full attention, she helps me go through my feelings and thoughts to figure out what I really want and need.

Ms Joana has changed our lives for our family for the best. Especially, for my wife, our parents and our baby. When I arrived with Ms Joana in April, it was not clear whethery wife and I would stay together. Thanks to Ms Joana, we are a very happy couple and have a found a lot of love and understanding between us thanks to Ms Joana.
