Psychotherapy · Somatic Experiencing

Space to feel safe, curious, and whole.

João Francisco Rodrigues — Psychologist

My Approach

Psychology

Psychology and psychoanalysis are the base for my psychotherapeutic work, fundamental for reaching therapeutic goals and making the best possible use of the tools Somatic Experiencing provides.

Somatic Experiencing

A body-oriented therapeutic model that focuses on a psychobiological, bottom-up approach to psychotherapy.

Safety, Curiosity & Integration

01

Safety

The first and most important aspect of my approach. It is by identifying and feeling safe that we can begin.

02

Curiosity

Once we feel safe, we can become curious about our life as humans, and address what our emotions and thoughts bring us.

03

Integration

The final step — integrating the changes achieved in the therapeutic process.

I'm a young therapist who values the role of the body in the process of therapeutic work. Having been through my own journey allows me to provide the support needed for my clients to go through their process and find a path that feels authentic to them.
