Hi! I´m Diego
I’m Diego, a specialist in Psychology & Neuroscience applied to Mental Health. My passion has always been understanding how we think, feel, and make decisions. Over time, I realized that the key to a balanced life isn’t about striving for a “perfect mind” but learning to accept our nuances and navigate them with awareness.
I am a spontaneous and funny person, deeply passionate about exploring different cultures. Traveling has always been an essential part of my life, shaping my understanding of the world and human nature. During my college years in Brazil, I was deeply engaged in social causes, especially advocating for equal educational opportunities for minority students.
My journey led me to Buddhist teachings over a decade ago, and the more I learn about neuroscience and psychology, the more I see how ancient traditions had already uncovered profound insights through meditation and observation.
Build trust and create a personal connection
Background and Training
My background spans across medical physics, neuroscience, and psychology, combining scientific rigor with a compassionate approach. I completed my Master’s in Applied Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London, followed by a Master’s in Oncology from São Paulo State University.
Over the years, I have integrated these disciplines into my practice of applied psychology and mental health support, allowing me to provide a holistic, well-rounded approach to mental health.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s transitions, especially those faced by immigrants, who often experience added stress due to adaptation and integration.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach draws inspiration from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness techniques inspired by Buddhist teachings.
In addition, I integrate Narrative Psychology, which focuses on the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our sense of identity. By exploring and re-framing these narratives, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and transform limiting beliefs into empowering ones.
I see this process as a journey of self-discovery, where you become your own best guide, learning to navigate thoughts, emotions, and life stories with clarity and purpose.
This holistic approach empowers clients to cultivate balance, self-compassion, and resilience, leading to a more meaningful, values-driven life.
Are you ready to create a meaningful life rooted in self-awareness, acceptance, and resilience?
