About me.
Clarinda Brandão is a Relationship Therapist and Relational Wellness Coach with over fifteen years of experience helping individuals and couples deepen self-awareness, navigate life transitions, and strengthen meaningful connections. Her approach is intuitive, direct, and grounded in compassion - always rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with understanding yourself.
Drawing on advanced training in relational approaches and human dynamics, Clarinda supports clients in moving beyond stuck patterns, improving communication, and fostering secure, fulfilling relationships. She integrates evidence-based strategies from relationship science, emotional intelligence coaching, and systems thinking to create an environment where insight and growth can unfold naturally - both in conversation and in everyday life.
Clarinda is also a mentor, group facilitator, and founder of two wellness practices - one in Toronto and one in Lisbon - where she supports other practitioners and leads programs on emotional wellness, connection, and identity.
A natural educator and lifelong learner, Clarinda is passionate about guiding people to reconnect with themselves and each other, especially during moments of change, challenge, or transformation.
When she’s not working with clients or creating new programs, you’ll find her writing her next book, developing innovative group experiences, or exploring how the nervous system influences relationships and self-expression.
“My role isn’t to carry you to the finish line. It’s to walk alongside you, cheering, guiding, and gently challenging you to uncover what you already hold inside. When you forget your strength, I’ll remind you. And when you cross the finish line, I’ll be there, celebrating what you accomplished.” – Clarinda Brandão
