Hi, I’m Hugo (he/him)

A Registered Counsellor based in Victoria Park and South Perth, WA, a coach, father, husband, and optimistic guide devoted to helping you unlock your potential and live a more fulfilling life.

Let’s Work Together to Navigate Life’s Challenges

Life doesn’t come with a manual, and its twists and turns can leave you feeling uncertain or stuck. With academic training in Psychology, Counselling, Coaching, and Community Development—and over two decades of experience across four continents—I’ve supported thousands of people from all walks of life to:

  • Overcome doubts and challenges

  • Make confident decisions

  • Achieve personal and professional growth

  • Improve their relationships

From parents navigating the highs and lows of family life to professionals seeking clarity and balance, I’m here to help you uncover your strengths and build the life you deserve.

A Global Perspective, Tailored to You

Having worked in Portugal, Mozambique, Timor-Leste, and Australia, I understand the universal nature of human struggles. Whether you're managing transitions, tackling limiting beliefs, or seeking direction, my diverse experiences have equipped me with tools to guide you effectively—no matter your background or story.

How I Can Help You

Using a blend of therapeutic approaches, including Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centred Therapy, Schema Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Parts Work, I’ll support you to:

  • Reframe challenges and build resilience that lasts

  • Enhance relationships and refine social skills

  • Boost productivity and make clear, confident decisions

  • Navigate uncertainty with inner peace and emotional balance

These evidence-based techniques are tailored to meet your unique needs, empowering you to achieve meaningful growth and transformation.

Counselling and coaching aren’t just concepts—they’re transformative tools to help you achieve the best version of yourself.
