“Creating Space In Your Life For Your Purpose”
I’m a Brazilian psychologist and I work with expat women who are looking for support to:
My goal is to help you stop secretly sacrificing your self-worth, your relationships, or your sanity, and encourage you to see the possibilities for healing, relief, and transformation.
In the sessions with me, we’ll unpack what’s bothering you, make sense of your experience, you will learn helpful tools, figure things out and restore confidence in yourself. I listen deeply. I empathize. I ask questions. I invite you to reflect. I offer you my insights and helpful tools. I encourage. I celebrate with you.
My work and experience allow us to explore and figure out the right support for your need: a deeper healing journey or a more results-oriented process.
I understand firsthand what it’s like to live abroad, raise cross-cultural kids, continue your career whilst moving around, balance the guilt and the adventure, and with my experience as a coach and a therapist I can help you as a whole person.
My invitation is for you to come as you are – lost, overwhelmed, stressed out, confused, low, anxious, sad, scared, lonely, and/or frustrated. I offer a safe space where you can begin to feel whole and centered again, even through difficult times.
Life abroad doesn’t have to cost your emotional health. You don’t have to wait until you’re back home to get help and feel like yourself again.
I joined four friends who were going start a coaching group with Renata. The initial proposal was for us meet for 4 weekly sessions of two hours each, as we all needed support and inspiration to put to practice again our professional purposes after a career break to take care of our families. It ended up being so good to everyone that we all decided to renew the group coaching for 4 sessions!

Renata brings a balance of sensitivity and challenge to the sessions. When we started the coaching sessions, I didn’t know what I wanted to do professionally, I was confused by the options and my confidence was really low. After 6 months I have figured out a path, I am working and discovering new opportunities as I go that I would never have thought of. More importantly, I feel I am myself again.

Working with Renata has brought me the opportunity to transform what were before only professional dreams into a well thought through, realistic and doable action plan.
The focus of the work was to look inside to find the clues to pave the way forward and re-activate and cultivate positive emotions related to professional accomplishments within the context of a life raising a family.
I left the each session feeling encouraged and empowered.
It’s been almost 6 years since I left my job to become a full time mom. Going back to my professional life seemed a daunting and overwhelming task. Now, even though I still have a long journey ahead of me, I know it is possible to do it, and I have been given many tools to support me along the way.

Renata created a space for reflection, bringing exercises and questions that facilitated identification of my inspirations, blocks, fears, purpose and thus helped me face the challenges ahead and take certain steps towards my purpose. My experience with Renata was extremely positive, she has energy and sensitivity. The work we did was extremely rich and rewarding!

I had a wonderful experience working with Renata Andrade as a life coach. She was always prepared and used techniques that allowed me to dig deeper and look into my professional life from a very broad perspective. I started our sessions thinking I had to redefine myself and my profession in order to achieve professional fulfillment and balance motherhood and I work life. Throughout the course of 8 weeks, I got clear about how close I was to my purpose, learned how prioritize what’s important in my work life and set clear goals for the near future while not putting aside my family.
