About Brenda
Brenda Pedrosa has been residing in Ireland since February 2011, where she pursued her studies in English and sought opportunities to advance her career as a Psychologist and Psychotherapist. She graduated in Brazil in 2008 from the University of Minas Gerais (PUC Minas) and further specialized in Trauma Psychotherapy and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.
​
She began her professional journey in Belo Horizonte, her hometown, under the inspiring mentorship of Gastao Ribeiro, a renowned Trauma Psychotherapist in Brazil. It was with him that she first delved into trauma and hypnotherapy, working on his social project 'Projeto Trauma' with underprivileged children and their parents suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This two-year experience ignited her passion for Trauma Psychotherapy as she witnessed the profound impact of her techniques.
​
In 2014, Brenda earned her Master's degree in Addiction Studies, exploring its psychoanalytic aspects and researching how her trauma psychotherapy and hypnotherapy techniques could effectively address addiction issues.
​
As a dedicated follower of Dr. Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma, addiction, and childhood development, she has gained immense knowledge from his teachings and aligns closely with his theories and beliefs.
​
In 2016, she was introduced to Family Constellation, participating in group sessions both as a client and a participant. Her interest in this field grew, leading her to study under Dr. Andrei Moreira, a doctor and Family Constellation facilitator, in 2019.
​
At the end of 2022, Brenda embarked on a transformative journey to Thailand, where she began a Facilitator course in Systemic Family Constellation, learning from esteemed teachers Ravit Levin and Nir Esterman on the island of Koh Phangan. Immersed in holistic practices offered by various retreats, she firmly believes that the deeper she works on herself, the deeper she can guide her clients.
​
In 2023, she returned to Koh Phangan to complete the second and third modules of her facilitating course in Family Constellation. Motivated by positive feedback from her clients about the new systemic approach tools she implemented in her sessions, she continues to expand her expertise.
​
Currently residing in Ireland, she has been working exclusively online since 2021, allowing her to travel and learn from international teachers and professionals. Despite the unique connection of in-person sessions, she believes it is possible to establish a strong bond and connect deeply with clients online.
​
Brenda is not only a passionate Psychotherapist but also an energy healer, known for her kind and empathetic nature. Over the past 12 years, she has worked with over 600 individuals from various countries (English and Portuguese speakers), completing more than 9,000 sessions.
