Sport psychologist · São Paulo

Camila Ferreira

Registered psychologist, nine years with players, coaches and referees. Booking takes one line and you do not have to explain why first.

I am a registered psychologist — CRP, verifiable, and supervised monthly, which matters more than it sounds. A great deal of what is sold to athletes as mental training comes from people who took a short course, and the difference only becomes visible on the day somebody in front of you is not struggling with performance at all.

Most of what I do is unglamorous. People arrive able to do the thing in training and unable to do it on Sunday, and we work out what their attention is doing in the ninety seconds beforehand. It usually takes six to twelve sessions and then it stops, which is the point of it.

How I work

  • You do not have to be in crisisThe most common thing I hear in a first session is that they nearly did not come because it did not feel bad enough to deserve it. It does not have to be bad enough.
  • Nothing goes back to your clubNot a theme, not a summary, not a hint over coffee. The one page that sets out exactly what a club is and is not told is published on this site, before you have to ask for it.
  • If it is not psychology, I will say soSome of what arrives here is an environment problem wearing a psychological costume. Selling somebody mental skills for that is taking their money to make a coaching problem look like a personal defect.

Verify my registration

Will my club find out?

Not from me. There is a whole page on this — what a club is told, what it is never told, and the three real limits — published so you can read it before you have to ask anybody about it.

Is this therapy?

It is performance psychology, delivered by a registered psychologist. The distinction matters mostly in one direction: if what you bring is better served by clinical treatment, I am qualified to notice and I will say so rather than working around it for six months.

How do I know you are actually registered?

My number is on this site and you can verify it with the register in about two minutes. Do that — with me and with anybody else selling you this. A great deal of it is sold by people with a weekend certificate, and nothing legally stops them.

What do I say when I book?

One line. It can be 'I do not really know'. You do not have to justify it, name it, or be certain it is serious enough.

How many sessions will it take?

Usually six to twelve, and you book them one at a time. If we reach twelve and nothing has moved, I will raise that with you rather than letting it run.

Can I do it online?

Yes, and most people do. It works as well as in person and it is easier to keep private, which for a lot of people is the deciding factor.
