Claudiana Arteiro

Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW)/Psychotherapist/Perinatal Mental Health

Claudiana believes in setting meaningful goals and developing a personalised, client-centred approach. Her strength is in engagement, as she is a warm yet effective therapist, who sees taking the first step toward therapy as a courageous and empowering choice. Claudiana’s therapeutic approach includes a focus on unconscious thoughts and feelings that can impact mood, behaviour and relationships. Psychodynamic psychotherapy includes looking at underlying causes to better support each person’s growth, healing and overall well-being, and is often considered an important approach when there are long-standing mental health difficulties, repetitive problems in relationships or when someone wants to understand themselves better. Originally from Brazil, Claudiana offers sessions in both Portuguese and English. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, travelling, and striving to live her life in alignment with her values.
