PRISCILA MENEZES

Social Worker

Hi there! I'm Priscila Menezes, a Brazilian Social Worker and I'm excited to join Exploring Minds Psychology every Monday.

As a Social Worker I focus on working with children, young people, and adults under 30 years of age.

I like to take a systemic approach and will often involve family, particularly when working with children and adolescents. 

I use a few therapeutic modalities in my work, including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness.

But most of all, I believe in the power of a positive therapeutic relationship. Expect warmth, kindness and a little bit of humour.

My main areas of interest are low mood, identity, adjustment, trauma and anxiety.

From Tuesday-Friday you will find me at the Swan Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), and in my free time, I enjoy gardening, pottery, reading, going to the beach and hiking.
