I'm Ana Bárbara, Therapeutic Coach and Founder of Essentially and Forward - Integrative Therapeutic Coaching. 
I strongly believe in the dynamic interplay of mental, emotional and physical health and its role in everyone's sense of wellbeing. We frequently get stuck by attributing what is happening in our lives to only one of the domains and fail to look at our own big picture. 
To move forward in life and to build a sustainable future vision it is necessary to look at what might be getting in the way - both current and past challenges. These can be sensitive territories to navigate. Therefore, with the therapeutic components of my training and work I bring a more gentle but effective approach to life coaching. ​​​
