About João Jardim

Psychologist (OPP, EuroPsy certified) and coach, working at the intersection of psychology and technology.

João Jardim

I’m João Jardim, a psychologist (OPP, EuroPsy certified) and coach, based in Europe and working online with clients worldwide. I’m currently completing my systemic business coach training with Fired Up (January 2027). Originally from Madeira, Portugal, I’ve built my career at the intersection of psychology and technology, two worlds that rarely meet but increasingly need each other.

Alongside my work as a psychologist, supporting clients and running workshops, I also trained and worked as a frontend developer. Most recently, in Germany, I built a wellbeing programme from scratch for a multilingual team working inside a generative-AI project, supporting people across 16 languages through fast-paced, high-pressure digital work.

I believe that change, even when it’s uncomfortable, can become a turning point for growth. As technology transforms the way we work, I want to make sure people don’t get left behind. My goal is to help professionals stay grounded, confident and human in a fast-changing world.

My own journey, from Madeira to Germany and from psychology to tech and back, has shown me that the biggest changes often bring the most growth. Moving to a new country and taking on new roles pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me to adapt. That’s what motivates me to support others on their path.

I offer coaching online in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and in person on request.
