Hi there,

Welcome to Better Help! I acknowledge that taking steps to explore our vulnerabilities with a mental health professionals can be daunting. Thus, I applaud you for stepping out of your comfort zone to explore what change and rediscovery can look like.

I am curious about what brought you to the Betterhelp platform?

I wonder the following:

Are you experiencing difficulties to stay motivated to change behaviours that are affecting your mental health, physical well-being, or social relationships?

Would you like to explore what sustains these patterns of behaviour and how to transform them?

Or perhaps…

Would you like support to better regulate your mood, manage anxiety and daily stressors, or improve your interpersonal relationships?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, let me tell you this... I would love to support you in your in this journey!!!

I offer psychotherapy to people struggling anxiety, depression, substance use, impulse control issues, OCD trauma-stress-related and physical health problems.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about myself:

I’m Eric and I moved to Australia eight years ago from Brazil. I am an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. Throughout my 4 years of clinical experience, I have supported individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma-stress related issues, addictions, compulsions, impulse control, relationship and low self-esteem issues, and LGBTIQA+ minority stress.

I acknowledge that discussing our vulnerabilities with therapist can be daunting. Furthermore, changes can be challenging. Thus, through a trauma-informed, client-centred and non-judgmental approach, I hope collaborate with you in an exploration of how past experiences shape present, build resilience and hope, and develop skills to foster meaningful change. I hope to create a space to help clients to build strengths, enhance their sense of self-efficacy, and achieve overall well-being by learning how to meet their needs through positive behavioural, contextual and lifestyle changes.

I use the following psychotherapy modalities and approaches:

• Trauma-informed care

• Harm Reduction Approach

• Motivational interviewing

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Schema Therapy

• Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R)

• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

• Mindfulness-based interventions

I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese.

Please, feel welcome here and I look forward to supporting you.
