The clinic was conceived as a place of assistance to the whole family and a place of transformation through encounters. We aim to offer a warm, professional and personalized space for wellness and mental health throughout the community.

Fabiola and Caroene have also connected by being members of the “Association of Brazilian Psychologists in Ireland” (ABPI), a partnership among Brazilian professional psychologists and psychotherapists formed to promote psychological wellbeing and mental health support to Brazilian expatriates living in Ireland.
