Sílvia Oliveira

Hello and welcome! My name is Sílvia and I am a clinical psychologist based in Aveiro, Portugal. I started my career by working with university students, followed by a couple of years working with children and teenagers, and gradually became a full-time therapist for adults of all ages and backgrounds. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though—after finishing my degree in 2015, life happened. I worked for a few years in fields unrelated to psychology before returning to my passion: helping others improve their experience of this weird thing called "living." It was quite a ride to get to where I am, but today, I can proudly say that I have conducted over 1500 psychology sessions in 2024 alone, and helped clients meet a wide array of therapeutic goals: from managing anxiety and learning how to better regulate their emotions, to bettering their relationships, improving self-esteem and deepening their personal development. There was a point when all of this sounded like nothing but a dream; like my goals were unreachable. All I felt was a deep struggle with anxiety, frustration, and a whole range of other difficult emotions that didn't help my situation at all. Maybe this feeling sounds familiar to you... If it does, let's work together. I am confident I will be able to help you find the path that makes sense!
