Therapy in English

Introduction

Life can be extremely challenging. At times, it might feel so overwhelming and distressing that you may find it hard to be functional in your daily life. At times, it might be even harder if you are facing great challenges and living in a foreign country simultaneously.

About me

I am a qualified and experienced Clinical Psychologist and a Family and Couple Therapist, based in Lisbon, Portugal. I have also lived abroad, in the United Kingdom. In London I have studied a MSc Mental Health: Psychological Therapies at Queen Mary University of London and worked at Kids Company, an Organisation that supports vulnerable children and parents from cultural minorities.

Therapy Benefits

Therapeutic sessions can be particularly beneficial if you are struggling, as they make you find your own solutions and direction and, thus, ease the way you feel. Moreover, therapy also plays a great role in your personal development, since it promotes a deeper understanding of yourself, your difficulties, your feelings, thoughts and needs. According to Positive Psychology a healthier, more fulfilling and positive life can be reached when you identify and develop your full potential.
