Art Psychotherapy in Setúbal and Online
Do you feel anxious, sad or have difficulty coping with changes or challenges in life?
Therapy can help you find more clarity, balance and well-being.
I am Inês, an English-speaking art psychotherapist based in Setúbal, Portugal, and I support people through different phases and challenges in life, helping them find greater emotional well-being, clarity and healthier relationships. I work with adults in person in Setúbal and online, in English or Portuguese.
Schedule a brief, free call so we can talk about your current needs and how therapy can support you.
How Therapy Can Help You
Therapy offers a space of care and support where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, better understand the challenges you are facing, and find new ways of dealing with them.
Together, we can work on different areas of your life, including:
-
Anxiety, stress and everyday worries
-
Sadness, emptiness, lack of motivation and grief
-
Difficulties in relationships
-
Self-esteem, confidence and identity
-
Managing difficult emotions such as anger, guilt and emotional turmoil
Through this process, you can develop a better understanding of yourself, recognise patterns in your life, and find ways to feel more confident and secure in yourself and your relationships.
Everyone's experience of therapy is different, and we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
A SPACE OF LISTENING, WARMTH AND UNDERSTANDING
How Therapy Works
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 welcomed from our first contact.
First step: free initial conversation
I usually start with a brief, no-obligation call of around 10–15 minutes, where we can talk a little about what has brought you to therapy and what you would like support with. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have and get a feel for how I work. After our call, if we both feel that working together would be a good fit, we can arrange your first session.
Sessions take place in person at my practice in Setúbal or online via video call using Google Meet. Online sessions allow you to access therapy from the comfort of your own home, whether by personal preference or because you live elsewhere in Portugal or abroad.

Qualifications and Experience
I am an art psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Art Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton in London, and I am registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have over 13 years of clinical experience across a range of professional settings, including the NHS, community services, non-profit organisations and private practice.
Today, I work as an art psychotherapist in Portugal, offering therapy in English to expats and international clients, both in Portugal and abroad.
In my practice, I aim to understand each person's experience, taking into account their history, needs and pace. It is important to me that you feel comfortable talking about what you are going through, in a space where you feel heard and respected.
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.

Inês is a naturally caring and sensitive person, always in tune with the needs of others. She is a reflective professional, an excellent listener and very creative. Her vast experience with various population groups and work contexts makes her a very skilled professional . I would not hesitate to recommend her as an art psychotherapist.
