About me

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.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
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
