I strongly believe that with the right support and guidance people are able to overcome any difficulties in their life and live in a healthier and more fulfilling way.
My name is Sara, and I am an English-speaking Humanistic Integrative Therapist (IFS-trained) based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I have over 10 years of experience living and working in London, where I supported clients from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds. I strongly believe that with the right assistance and guidance, people are able to overcome any difficulties in their lives and live in a healthier and more fulfilling way. One of my core values is trust, and I see it as a vital part of the therapeutic process and any relationship.
I work with adults and support those facing emotional and relational challenges such as low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, identity issues, trauma, or relationship difficulties.
What to expect? It might feel strange or difficult to talk about parts of yourself that aren’t often seen or expressed. Therapy is a collaborative process led by you and supported by me. I work as a Humanistic Integrative Therapist, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches to support your personal process. My focus is on creating a confidential, safe and supportive environment. Together, we aim to foster greater self-awareness and meaningful change.
What it could look like? -Exploring your past experiences and how they may have shaped your beliefs, behaviours, and emotional responses -Developing awareness of how you relate to others and how this might reflect patterns in your life -Paying attention to bodily sensations and finding new ways to express your emotional experience -Using the therapeutic relationship as a safe space to explore different ways of being and relating
