How much does an appointment cost?

An individual appointment costs 40€ (50 minutes). I offer monthly packages.

How does the online appointment work?

Through a secure, encrypted platform. You receive the link by email and only need a computer or phone with a camera in a quiet space.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on you and what you want to work on. There are brief processes of 6–10 sessions and longer follow-ups. We discuss this in the first session.

Yes. I only ask that you let me know at least 24 hours in advance so I can free up the slot for someone else.

Absolutely. All session content is protected by professional secrecy, in accordance with the OPP Code of Ethics.

Where is the practice in Faro?

In-person sessions take place at a dedicated practice in Faro, with easy parking. I send the exact address when confirming the first appointment.

Do I really need a psychologist or can I handle it alone?

A lot can and should be worked through outside of therapy. A psychologist makes sense when distress persists, interferes with daily life, or when 'trying harder' has stopped working.

What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and can prescribe medication. A psychologist works through conversation, the therapeutic relationship and psychological techniques. In more complex situations, the two roles complement each other.

Do you offer sessions in English?

Yes. I also work in English, Spanish and French — useful for international residents in the Algarve.

Are you a licensed psychologist?

Yes. Full member of the Portuguese Order of Psychologists (OPP), licence 24047, with continuous training and supervision.

How long does therapy last?

It depends on what you want to work on. Some processes are brief (6–10 sessions) and focused on a specific issue, others are longer and oriented towards self-knowledge and deeper change.

About me

Psychology with time, listening and experience

Here, every person is truly heard. I have 8 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents and children through anxiety, low mood, loss, stress or life transitions. My training in Clinical Psychology from the University of Coimbra and in Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions gives me solid tools — but it is the trusting relationship we build that makes the difference. Whether online across the Algarve or in-person in Faro, the goal is simple: to help you feel better and recover your balance.
