Your Healing from Betrayal Starts Here
Hi, I am Andréa. I support individuals and couples impacted by intimate betrayal and infidelity, guiding healing across both personal wellbeing and relational repair. This also includes supporting betrayed partners and couples navigating relationships affected by problematic sexual behaviours, including compulsive sexual behaviours or sex, love and pornography addiction. My CSAT training through IITAP (International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals) further equips me to support betrayed partners healing in the context of problematic sexual behaviour.
I hold a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and am an Accredited Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I am also a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS) through the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS) and a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT) practitioner.
Inclusivity and diversity are core values in my practice. I am committed to honouring the intersectionality and individuality of each person, creating a therapeutic space where every client feels respected, understood, and supported in a safe and compassionate environment. I am fluent in both English and Portuguese.

Betrayal is devastating. Whether you have discovered infidelity, emotional affairs, or pornography addiction that shattered your trust, your pain is valid.
After discovering your partner's infidelity, you may be experiencing nightmares, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep and appetite, and overwhelming feelings of sadness, fear and anger. You may also feel an ongoing need to search for evidence of the betrayal and uncover the whole truth. This is betrayal trauma — and it’s real.
I specialise in helping individuals heal from the devastating impact of betrayal. My trauma-informed approach supports you to:
- Regain safety and stability
- Make sense of the emotional chaos
- Rebuild self-trust and clarity
- Navigate boundaries and decisions in your relationship
- Find peace and strength — with or without your partner
