My name is Glaucia Maria de Queiroz. I took my B.A. in psychology at the Federal
University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1996. In 2017 I received the degree MSc in Mental Health from the University of Liverpool. In 2009 I applied
and underwent the examinations of the Gesundheitsamt
Nürnberg in order to get the license in Heilpratikerin fur Psychotherapie
which enables those ones who passed the right to carry on psychotherapy
in German territory.
In Brazil, much too different from what occurs in Germany, Psychology
course deals a lot more with practice, which allowed me in my graduation
studies, spare time myself to psychoanalysis under the supervision of
a very competent and experienced Professor who also watched over me during
my first working years at a private office.
And besides, when attending university, I worked for a couple of years
as counselor and assistant in adults schooling field in a context as to
academic research in the UFMG.
As soon as I finished my studies, I worked as school psychologist and
career and job counselor, Personnel department psychology; and I voluntarily
followed in a Day care Center the history of a young boy who had partial
cerebral palsy and, above all, I also worked in adults' psychologist in
my private Office.
After having moved to Germany, I ended up in Training and Consulting field,
becoming a consulter/coach in the intercultural training area, getting
executives as well as other German professional ready to work abroad getting
in contact with different cultures, different countries and its inhabitants,
being Latin America obviously the main focus of my job. A steady professional
formation in the intercultural Field, as well as my own experience as
immigrant in Ireland and Germany; my experience with couples whose spouse
come from different countries and my continuous personal and Professional
contact with people whose origin range from a variety of at least 20 different
countries directed my intercultural
Psychotherapy and led me into making up my mind that those cultural background
Aspects would be the basis for my psychotherapy job in Germany. Here follow
some examples of psychiatric problems that often show up in my clinic
work:
> Anxiety and depression
> Family conflicts and with spouse
> Anxiety, conflicts and problems in general as
to intercultural matters
