Hi, I’m Stefani, and I’m committed to helping people regain control over their drinking with the Sinclair Method (TSM). I speak both Portuguese and English, and I’m dedicated to supporting individuals at any stage of their journey toward lasting change.

​

My own struggles with problem drinking spanned years of counselling, dry spells, relapses, and self-deception. It wasn’t until I discovered TSM that I finally found a solution. The medication had a transformative effect, helping me break free from the cycle I couldn’t escape before. This experience ignited my desire to help others find the same freedom.

​

In addition to my personal recovery, I bring years of experience in mental health, dual diagnosis, and harm minimization. I’ve worked with vulnerable populations, offering psychosocial support and empowering individuals to take control of their lives. My approach is holistic, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed, and I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive space for your healing.

​

I’m also passionate about changing the way society views alcohol and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Alcohol is often celebrated in our culture, yet those with AUD are frequently marginalised and misunderstood. AUD is often only recognized when it reaches crisis levels, but I’m here to tell you: you don’t need to hit rock bottom to take control of your drinking. You can make the decision to change at any point in your life, no matter where you are on your journey.

​

With a BA in Social Anthropology and CPD in counselling skills, motivational interviewing, nutrition, mental health, and trauma-informed practices, I offer evidence-based support to help you create lasting change on your own terms. Thank you for considering me as a partner in your recovery journey. Together, we can challenge the stigma surrounding alcohol use and create a new narrative of empowerment and healing.
