Welcome to my blog!
My name is Edília, but you can call me Dina, too!I was born in Cape Verde. I lived in Portugal for 10 years, where I did my degree and master's degree in Psychology, finished my PhD a year ago, and I am currently studying Cognitive Behaviour Psychotherapy.
I have been living in England for almost 10 years. I have always been passionate about people, their culture, and their stories and always wanted to write a book one day (who knows!).
As someone who loves journaling and putting her thoughts together through writing, I have decided that, this time I will stick to this blog (btw, I have created many and always gave up!).
My passion for storytelling and deep appreciation for life have taught me that everyone's story is unique and deserving of being shared. I believe that connection and relationships are at the heart of our wellness.
I have been blessed with a broad range of experiences in the mental health field, allowing me to work with diverse people from various backgrounds and cultures.
I have always sought to help and empower people to find meaning and unlock their potential, using their own stories to re-create a better future for themselves and those around them.
As an introvert, I understand the value of these connections and am passionate about creating environments where everyone can feel seen, heard, and valued.
This blog is a combination of my own professional and personal experiences as an immigrant, along with the knowledge and insights I have gained throughout my journey.
Join and connect with me on this adventure!
