Roberta Nunes Dutra

Overview

The practice is led by Roberta Nunes Dutra, a BACP-registered counsellor offering integrative psychotherapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The practice emphasises cultural awareness and compassionate, person-centred care, with particular attention to the experiences of people living between cultures.

The clinician provides therapy from locations in Glasgow (G1) and Edinburgh (EH10) and also offers remote sessions. The service focuses on evidence-based approaches to help clients increase psychological flexibility, manage distressing thoughts and behaviours, and reconnect with personal values.

Best for

This practice is best suited for adults and young people navigating life transitions, cultural adjustment, mood and anxiety difficulties, and trauma-related concerns. It is also appropriate for clients seeking short-term, time-limited or longer-term therapeutic support.

• Adults, young people and older adults
• Clients experiencing anxiety, low mood/depression, trauma-related distress, stress and cultural adjustment

Approach

The clinician integrates CBT and ACT to combine cognitive restructuring and behavioural change with acceptance-based work and values-driven action. Therapy typically involves assessing patterns of thinking and behaviour, developing practical strategies to reduce distress, and practising skills to increase psychological flexibility.

Treatment may include short-term, time-limited work, single-session therapy (SST), longer-term engagement, telephone sessions and online therapy. Sessions begin with an initial assessment to identify goals and plan the therapeutic pathway.
