Melim Psychology and Coaching
Awareness through(out) Change.
You feel stuck, even as life changes around you.
At times, it feels like you’re living the same life over and over, facing the same challenges, questions, and disappointments.
But imagine finding the support you need, so you don’t have to go through it alone.
Imagine a space where you feel fully accepted, understood, and wanted, and where you can learn the tools to break the cycle.
Imagine building a life that is truly yours.
I am Beatriz, Clinical Psychologist and Researcher in the topic of Life Transitions and I would love to help you in this journey.
Areas I am experienced in
Whether you are facing a sudden and unexpected change in your life, or a transition that you anticipated but never experienced , these moments can leave you feeling confused, anxious, even desperate.
When we are caught off guard in this way, it is so easy to lose touch with ourselves and refer to behaviours we wish to change.
I am here to support you through these transitions. Together will work on building, self-awareness and resilience, helping you emerge from this experience, stronger and more grounded.
Here are some of the life transitions I have supported clients through:
Trauma-Related Transitions
Events that have abruptly changed you life, such as accidents, assaults, or significant loss.
Existential or Identity Transitions
Shifts in how you see yourself, your identity, your values and your place in the world.
Relationship Changes
Transitions such as breakups, marriage, or adjustments within a long-term relationship.
Relocation or Cultural Adjustment
Adaptation to moving to a new city /country, managing homesickness, social isolation, and cultural adaptation.
Midlife Transitions
Questions around purpose, career satisfaction, or personal fulfilment, addressing “empty nest” syndrome, or shifts in life focus.
Health-Related Changes
Health challenges, new diagnoses, or chronic illness, emotional and practical adjustment to a new lifestyle.
Career Shifts and Retirement
Managing stress, uncertainty, or identity changes associated with job changes, promotions, career transitions, or the transition out of the workforce.
Loss and Bereavement
Loss of loved ones, grief and meaning-seeking.
Parenthood
Changes in identity, relationship dynamics, and emotional challenges tied to the transition into parenthood.
My approach to therapy
I use an integrative, schema-based approach to therapy and coaching, blending the latest in psychological research with my personal commitment to growth and understanding.
My role is both as a guide and a partner. In our sessions, I offer a safe space where you’ll feel supported, heard, and—when necessary—gently challenged, so you can reach your goals with confidence.
Background
Beatriz is a psychologist, coach, and researcher dedicated to helping people through life’s big changes. Originally from Portugal, she has worked and studied in Brazil and Germany, gaining insights into the universal challenges of navigating change.
Her passion for psychology began as a teenager when she discovered Murphy’s Boy, a book that inspired her to help people reconnect with others and find meaning in their lives. Today, she is completing her PhD through universities in Portugal and Germany, focusing on how life transitions affect well-being.
With advanced training in Schema Therapy, Beatriz helps clients recognise and reshape patterns from early experiences that may be holding them back. She is deeply committed to combining research with a caring approach, supporting her clients as they move toward positive change. For Beatriz, each client’s journey is unique, and she feels very grateful to be a part of their growth and transformation.
Every session with me is a collaboration, with the goal of creating a space that feels safe, productive, and tailored to your needs. Together, we will navigate your experiences with respect and curiosity. Nothing you share with me will be judged, rejected or considered too much. My commitment is to listen without judgment, share openly, and work at your pace.
