Adriana de Araújo

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 27 years of experience helping people overcome anxiety, build confidence, and communicate more effectively in both their personal and professional lives.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and have international professional recognition, including EuroPsy certification and affiliation with the American Psychological Association (APA).

My approach is practical, personalized, and focused on meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based psychology with advanced training in Clinical Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), tailoring the therapeutic process to each person’s individual needs and goals.

I work particularly with anxiety, self-confidence, emotional regulation, fear of public speaking, and communication challenges.

My goal is not only to help you understand what is happening, but also to develop effective strategies that can make a real difference in your everyday life.

I offer online sessions in Portuguese and Italian, working with clients internationally.

I have over 26 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist, working with adults in private practice and supporting clients with anxiety, fears, self-confidence, emotional regulation, communication difficulties and personal and professional development.

My professional experience also includes work in hospital and healthcare settings, as well as corporate psychology, training and education. Throughout my career, I have worked with multidisciplinary teams and developed psychological interventions for individuals, professionals and organisations.

Alongside my clinical practice, I have extensive experience as a speaker, trainer and author. I have delivered hundreds of lectures, workshops and training programmes on psychology, mental health, communication, emotional wellbeing and human behaviour.

Today, my work combines extensive clinical experience with a practical and goal-oriented approach, helping clients understand their difficulties, develop effective strategies and create meaningful changes in their everyday lives.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Counselling and am recognised as a Specialist in Clinical Psychology by the Portuguese Psychologists Association (OPP).

I am a EuroPsy Psychologist and an International Affiliate of the American Psychological Association (APA), with professional registration in Brazil and Portugal.

My postgraduate and advanced professional training includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Ericksonian Hypnosis, Brief Therapy, EMDR and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

I trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis with the Milton H. Erickson Foundation in the United States and completed advanced NLP training with John Grinder, co-creator of NLP, in the United Kingdom.

My professional development has included training and experience across Brazil, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States.
