•Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie •Coach

When life changes
faster than you can make sense of it.

I offer individual psychological support and professional coaching for expats and multilingual professionals.

Online wherever you are — in person in Berlin. Sessions in English, German and Portuguese.

Whether you're burning out quietly, losing sleep, feeling like you don't belong anywhere, or carrying the weight of a career and a life abroad entirely on your own — this is a space where your context is understood.

You don’t need to be at your worst to start. Feeling stuck is enough.

Three ways to work together

Same foundation. Same Gabriela.
Two different doors — and a practical resource you can access today.

Psychological Support

Therapy
Individual sessions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for expats navigating burnout, anxiety, identity loss, and the emotional cost of building a life in a country that wasn't yours to start with...

Leadership & Career

Coaching
For managers, team leads and senior professionals working in multilingual environments — navigating career pivots, leading across cultures, making high-stakes decisions, or rebuilding after burnout.

Practical Guide

Don't sign before you read it
A practical guide to German labour law for expats, written from 8+ years inside German companies in HR. The things people usually find out too late.

WHAT I OFFER

MY APPROACH
How I work

My work draws on two distinct but deeply connected foundations: clinical psychology (ACT-based) and over 8 years of hands-on experience in HR and leadership development inside German organisations.

That means I understand both what happens inside you and what happens in the environments you navigate: organisations, hierarchies, intercultural teams, high-stakes decisions.

DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU NEED
WE WILL WORK ON:

  • Building psychological flexibility under pressure

  • Reconnecting with what matters beyond performance

  • Navigating career decisions with clarity, not panic

  • Leading across cultures, time zones or hierarchies — without flattening your own style

  • Making high-stakes decisions when no one around you carries the full context

  • Finding stability when everything around you keeps changing

ABOUT ME

The person behind the work

I'm Gabriela — Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie and Senior People Partner with over 8 years working inside German organisations in HR and leadership development. I trained in psychology in Brazil and have been based in Berlin for nearly ten years.

I moved to Germany almost ten years ago without proper speaking German, without a network, and without a clear roadmap. I built a life here from the ground up — and I understand, from the inside, what that costs.

I work at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and the experience of building a life and career across languages and cultures.
