INDIVIDUAL
PSYCHOTHERAPY

Children, Teenagers and Adults

Psychotherapy might be beneficial for you if you are going through a difficult period in your life and/or if you feel that you would like to develop a better understanding about yourself in order to overcome any personal challenges, find balance and fulfilment.

Difficult periods may include life changing circumstances, change of jobs, separation, going through loss or coping with illness, amongst others.

Challenging moments in life impact adults and also young people and children. Sometimes feelings of anger, sadness, fear or demotivation may appear without reason, in which case the exploration of these in psychotherapy may help and enable positive change.

In my psychotherapy sessions I integrate both my knowledge of psychology and art psychotherapy in order to best support you or your child according to your needs and preferred forms of expression. I offer in-person sessions in Lisbon and online sessions.

​

In art therapy people do not need to be experts in art, nor do they need to know how to use art materials. However, it is important to have curiosity and the pre-disposition for playfulness and creative expression. In my sessions, clients are invited to engage with the creativity within them, with images and metaphors, as this can help them find new ways of expressing feelings and sensations - an alternative channel to externalise experiences and to reflect and make sense of them in a more manageable way. In art psychotherapy, art is not used as diagnostic tool but as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing (BAAT). We can also stick to talking in the sessions if this suits you best.

In child art therapy in particular, the use of toys and play is included. Please click here to see a short video introduction about the benefits of art therapy.

​I offer you a safe and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, where you can feel comfortable to bring issues that concern you, find resolution and heal. I bring compassion and empathy to our sessions. All our work is strictly confidential. If you are curious about working with me, you can read more below:
