Her professional background includes a Bachelor degree, Honors and Licentiate in Psychology CRP/05 24517 completed in 1989 in Brazil where she is still registered as a Psychologist and qualified to practice (Glaucia is not registered as a Psychologist in Australia). She has also completed a Human Resources Management Specialist and a 5 year Analytical Group-therapy Specialist post graduation trainings in Brazil where she worked as a Psychologist for 17 years. Furthermore, Glaucia has completed, in Australia, a Certificate III in Children's Services, Aged Care, Community Services and a Master of Counselling at The University of Queensland.

Glaucia is passionate about helping people. She provides a safe and confidential environment and develops with her clients a trustful and caring therapeutic relationship. Her professional experience was acquired working over 30 years in private and community settings. In Brazil she has provided career guidance and emotional support for university entrance test for teenagers, assessment for children over 6 with schooling and behavioral problems, and individual and Group Therapy to adult clients experiencing chronic mental illness. She participated as a volunteer in several community works helping homeless people and people with substance abuse problems. She has also provided workshops and psycho educational sessions for health professionals and the community. Living in Australia since 2006, Glaucia worked as a Counsellor in several organizations with children, adolescents, adults and couples: She was a Counsellor at Drug Arm working with mandated and voluntary male clients who have committed crimes, experienced or perpetrated domestic and family violence and sexual abuse, she was a Family Counsellor at a Women’s Refuge and at The Uniting Care Community assisting women and children who experienced Domestic and Family Violence, she was a Counsellor Advocate at QPASTT and a Mental Health Counsellor and Case Manager at Harmony Place using interpreter services to work with refugees and asylum seekers who experienced torture and war related trauma. She was also a Program Area Coordinator of a community connection program with Royal Brisbane and Human Hospital supervising a team of volunteers and providing emotional support to adult inpatients who attempted su***de, drug abuse, or suffered from a mental illness and were living in the hospital wards.

In addition, she developed and was a Counsellor Group Facilitator of a support group for parents of children with disabilities and threatened illness receiving palliative care at a Hospice and a Group facilitator of a Women’s Migrant Support Group for 9 years. She developed and delivered several well-being information sessions at Toowong Chiropractic Center aiming community education. Some of the subjects discussed were: stress, anxiety, depression, su***de thoughts, self-harm, grief and loss and domestic violence.

Coming from Brazil in January 2006 and having experienced the process of immigration herself, she became sensitive to cultural differences regarding beliefs, roles, values and expectations, which also enabled her to provide support and information to immigrants who are experiencing challenges related to the immigration and settlement process, such as homesickness, culture shock, language and working barriers.
