About me
I'm Bruna Bezerra, a Brazilian clinical and health psychologist based in Lisbon, working online and in person with adults. I hold a master's degree in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Lisbon, and I came to psychology from an earlier background in the social sciences and social work.
I'm currently completing my Junior Professional Year (a supervised year of practice) with the Portuguese Psychologists' Association (OPP), therefore I practice under regular clinical supervision. Which means there's an added layer of oversight and care behind every process I accompany.
I work with depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, interpersonal and relational difficulties, experiences of trauma, female empowerment, ADHD and Autism. That said, I prefer to see each person as more than a diagnosis, mostly trying to comprehend their history and experiences.
Sessions are available in Portuguese and English, online or in person in Lisbon. If any of this resonates with you, please get in touch.

Approach
My approach is Integrative and Relational, built on a foundation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, with further training in Schema Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy. For me, the relationship we build isn't just the backdrop to the work — it is the work. A great deal of what causes us pain first took shape in relationships, and it is within a safe, trusting one that it can begin to be repaired. So the first thing I try to offer is a space where you feel safe enough to say things you may never have said out loud. That safety isn't a nicety; it's already part of what makes therapy work.
Integrative means I don't fit you into a fixed model. I start by understanding your history, your patterns and what you actually need, and I let that guide the tools we use, rather than the other way around. Depending on what a moment calls for, that might mean working with thoughts and behaviours, staying with and making sense of difficult emotions, or looking at the relational patterns that keep repeating and where they come from.
