ASKING FOR HELP IS AN ACT OF COURAGE

How Therapy Can Help You

​

Therapy is a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain a deeper understanding of the challenges you are facing, and develop healthier ways of coping with what you are going through. Together, we can work on different areas of your life, including:

​

  • Anxiety, stress and everyday worries

  • Sadness, feelings of emptiness, lack of motivation or grief

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Self-esteem, confidence and identity

  • Managing emotions such as anger, guilt and emotional confusion​

 

My aim is to support you in understanding your feelings and patterns more clearly, making sense of your experiences, and feeling more confident and secure within yourself and in your relationships.

​

Each person is unique, and the pace of the therapeutic process is guided by you. Therapy is a journey of discovery and understanding, and I will be alongside you to support and guide you, with acceptance and respect for your individual path.

A SPACE OF LISTENING, WARMTH AND UNDERSTANDING

How Therapy Works with Me

Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and it is completely natural to experience some hesitation before starting. My aim is for you to feel safe, supported, and genuinely welcomed from our very first contact.

​

First step: free initial conversation

I usually begin with a brief, no-obligation call of 10–15 minutes to understand what you would like to explore in therapy and how I may support you. This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions and to sense whether therapy feels right for you.

​

Session format

Sessions can take place in person, in Setúbal, or online via video call, with the same level of confidentiality, care and presence. Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place in a safe and supportive environment.​

What Clients Say About Working with Me

The people I work with often feel more understood, gain greater clarity about their emotions, and develop improved emotional regulation. Over time, they tend to experience increased emotional stability, greater confidence in their choices, and a stronger sense of security in their relationships.

I have known Inês for many years and I deeply value her beautiful ability to bring together compassion and care with insight and understanding. Inês is a very thoughtful and kind person with so much to offer. She has helped me immensely to develop my self understanding and self expression. I recommend her to anyone.
