I'm Claudio Mendes, a counsellor and psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience.

​

My work is deeply rooted in my curiosity about people—how we think, behave, and how our unique experiences shape us.

​

Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, helping them navigate tough times and major life changes. I’ve supported individuals dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, identity, and sexuality, as well as those facing discrimination, loss, health challenges, and grief. 

​

Therapy is a space where we’ll work together to address your concerns. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, personal changes, or past trauma, I’m here to help you through it and support you in making positive changes.

​

My Approach

I believe therapy, like nature, is a process of change. Nature has always inspired me, and I bring its lessons into my work.

Just as the seasons change, therapy helps us embrace personal transformation, reminding us that change is a natural part of life.

​

​Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” This idea encapsulates the work we will do together—empowering you to make lasting changes and embrace your potential for personal growth.

 

What to Expect in Therapy

If you're considering therapy for the first time, you might have questions about what to expect.​

Therapy with me is a supportive, non-judgmental space where you’ll feel heard, respected, and empowered to make the changes you wish and move forward.

​

We’ll work at your pace, setting goals and using proven methods to help you manage emotions, build self-awareness, and develop coping skills. I’ll support you in a way that fits your needs, focusing on lasting changes to help you handle life’s challenges.
