I am a Lecturer in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Salford, with certification in Clinical Psychology by the Portuguese Order of Psychologists. At Salford, I teach a broad range of psychology modules including Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychological Therapies, Positive Psychology, and more, aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate learners. My teaching methodology emphasizes interactive, student-centred learning that balances theory with practical application, supported by seminars, coursework, and research supervision at bachelor, master, and doctoral levels.
Before becoming a lecturer, I have delivered regular workshops and lectures focusing on topics spanning mental health, emotional regulation, psychological resilience, and cognitive development. These sessions covered relevant and impactful themes such as Burnout Prevention, Self-Motivation, Psychology of Music and Emotion, Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence, Dark Triad Theory, and many more themes. This extended teaching allowed me to engage a wider audience with accessible, evidence-based psychological insights.
My academic background is underpinned by a PhD in Psychology specialising in emotional responses to music, alongside advanced certifications in academic practice and clinical psychology. I combine my clinical experience, including neuropsychological assessment and therapeutic intervention, with research expertise to provide students with a comprehensive and applied learning experience.
I am committed to continuous professional development and fostering an inclusive learning environment that encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and personal growth.

Valuable, easy to understand feedback
Helped me make sense of my final year project in a way that was clear and effective. Where I had weaknesses or gaps, he was able to identify them quickly and guide me on exactly how to improve, without overcomplicating anything.
Everything he explained was direct and easy to follow, which made a huge difference when I was feeling overwhelmed. His turnaround time was also very quick, and he kept in regular contact throughout, providing updates along the way. As someone who tends to get quite anxious during deadlines, that level of communication was honestly a saving grace.
The same, brilliant service
Really quick and accessible, which has been really helpful with such a tight deadline . Also really helpful and knowledgeable- I have found his feedback invaluable, I am so grateful for this help. I have ADHD so I struggle with structure and flow, and Gonçalo, has really clearly explained and helped me out. No matter your ability, I think Gonçalo is really helpful. I am a year 3 student, and I kind of just needed help polishing up, so even for higher level stuff, he can really take it further
Really very gentle and holding tutor and very very kind. Really knows his stuff.
Goncalo is very knowledgable and great technically
