My Motivation

DR. Simone André DA COSTA

I believe infinitely in the evolutionary capacity of the Human Being and in the transformative power of the various stages of Human Biography. I also believe and live enthusiastically the power of human relationships. And from here, I set out to practice my profession in any area of ​​life, because I designed my life and my “Curriculum” with the aim of living diverse experiences so that I can be part of the evolution that I believe in. I am motivated by being able to be part of this transformation of people and being able to help in these necessary, despite the difficult, processes throughout the life of each one of us.

My Passion

DR. Simone André DA COSTA

My passion for Psychology and the human mind has existed since I can consciously remember myself as part of the world. I love performance, skiing, snowboarding, music, photography, nature, reading, cooking and inventing.

I greatly admire each person and I am passionated of being able to support each one that crosses my path of development, in their own process of evolution of consciousness on the path to well-being.

I love my profession and its scope and being able to practice it in a non-standard way, in various human areas, such as in communities of people (Schools, Organizations and Companies, Sports Clubs, etc.) or in the individuality of the closest support of each person (Individual sessions).

In my opinion, developing Psychological Skills should be part of our “Curriculum” of Human and Social Development in any of the areas of our lives (School, Physical, Mental, Individual and Social Health, Family, Relationships, Work, etc.).

And, if possible, achieve all this in a creative, enthusiastic and empathetic way, in order to be able to provide valid person-to-person care.
