Professional Title Systemic Interventionist & Psychotherapist | Founder of Attitude Waves | Art Director of "The Bond Between Surfers" | Columnist at Executiva.pt | Consultant & Supervisor Summary With over 25 years of experience, my mission is to decode the invisible threads that connect individuals to their ecosystems. My practice is based on a fundamental truth: individual balance is inseparable from the systems we inhabit. As a Systemic Consultant and Supervisor, I move beyond traditional clinical boundaries. Supporting leaders, teams, and healthcare professionals in navigating complex relational dynamics, identifying interaction patterns, and facilitating sustainable change processes. Whether in a private practice or in corporate management, I apply Systems Thinking to build resilient ecosystems and prevent burnout. My trajectory is a unique intersection between psychological depth, creative direction, and pure ocean energy: * Clinical Excellence & Supervision: Specialist in Family and Couple Therapy (SPTF) and Rogerian Psychotherapy, focusing on systemic intervention and protection of children and young people at risk. * Columnist & Thought Leader: Regular contributor to the Executiva.pt platform, where I write about systemic leadership, mental health, and the challenges of the modern professional landscape. * Creative Leadership & Brands: Art Director of the international film "The Bond Between Surfers" and consultant for major global surf brands. I bridge the gap between human psychology and brand identity, ensuring that the "lifestyle" is rooted in an authentic connection. - Performance & Recovery: Founder of Attitude Waves and collaborator at the School of Burnout Recovery. I transform complex theoretical models into practical strategies for mental health, high performance, and neurobiological regulation. - Innovation in Nature: Pioneer in Adventure Therapy, using surfing as a sophisticated tool for emotional regulation and self-awareness. I believe that the key to excellence – whether in a therapy session, clinical supervision, or managing a global brand – is understanding the "whole" to empower each part. Motto: Do good, and life will smile back at you. ☀️🌻

New Challenge: Production Director on "The Bond Between Surfers" It is with a tremendous sense of honor and great responsibility that I embrace the role of Production Director on the fictional feature film "The Bond Between Surfers." This project is a community effort and a true passion: a coming-of-age story that follows the lives of two surfer friends, ages 10 to 40, exploring the dream of becoming a world champion and the search for meaning in life through surfing. It is a film made by, for, and financed by surfers, with a planned international reach. I deeply appreciate the invitation and the trust placed in me to help realize this bold vision from director Mark Rebscher, which promises a "modern surf film" and authenticity. I am excited to lead the production and ensure this narrative reaches the global surfing community. Follow the production journey! 🏄♂️🎬 #TheBondBetweenSurfers #FilmProduction #SurfFilm #ProductionDirector #NewProject #IndependentFilm #Surf
.The Bond Between Surfers project is a coming-of-age story written by Mark Rebscher, with the goal of being adapted into a feature-length film. The narrative centers on two surfer friends. One aspires to become a world champion, while the other searches for the meaning of life in surfing. The story aims to immerse the audience in surfing culture, exploring romance, action, adventure, and the deep bond that unites the global surfing community. It is often compared to classics like "Big Wednesday." The Artistic Director (or Production Designer) is the creative professional who establishes and manages the film's visual concept, translating the script into aesthetic language. Their main responsibilities are: 1. Visual Concept: Defines the look, mood, and tone of the film by choosing the color palette, textures, and styles. 2. Crew Management: Supervises the art team, which includes set designers, costume designers, and props. 3. Sets and Props: Directs the design and construction of all sets and props that appear on screen. 4. Strategic Partnership: Collaborates closely with the Director and Director of Photography to ensure that the art design is consistent with the overall vision and lighting. In short, the Art Director is responsible for the entire visual aesthetic and environment that the audience perceives on screen.
