Couple Counseling at Arroios, Lisboa
A space to understand each other, communicate, and heal from the root.
What is Couple Counseling?
Couple therapy is a process in which both partners can honestly examine what is happening in the relationship:
The silences that weigh heavily and the wounds that remain unhealed
The patterns that repeat themselves
The expectations that frustrate
And the ways of loving that sometimes clash more than they connect.
Here, we understand that the connection doesn't begin with "the other person," but rather with what each individual brings from their family history, their childhood, their fears, and their learned ways of relating.
In our sessions, we explore both worlds—the individual and the shared—to recognize which dynamics are sustaining the connection and which are eroding it.
The goal is to transform the relationship into a space where both partners can grow, feel seen, and choose each other again in a more mature, present, and authentic way.
Rebuild the bond from awareness, not from the wound.
Reclaim communication, intimacy, and the ability to choose each other in a more mature, present, and honest way.
What can you expect from Couples Counseling?
A safe space to understand each other, listen to each other, and consciously transform the relationship
We begin by building trust: I listen to you, I understand what's happening, and what you want to transform.
We explore the current dynamics of the relationship, the visible tensions, and the invisible wounds that are affecting your emotional well-being and your ability to connect.
Throughout the process, we delve into how each of you learned to love, what you expect from the other, what you need, and what fears you're trying to protect.
With this clarity, we work on practical tools for conscious communication, emotional intimacy, and real agreements that strengthen your bond.
We don't force anything, but we also don't avoid what needs to be reviewed.
This is a space to talk, feel, heal, and choose with greater awareness.
The ultimate goal is for you to connect with others from a place of greater calm, clarity, and presence.

Yes, I hold in-person sessions in Lisbon, by appointment and with limited spaces.
Each encounter has a clear and fluid sequence:
Initial review: We share what has happened since the last session and your most important reflections.
Exploration: we work in depth on a central theme that is active in your process.
Integration: We conclude with reflections and practical tools to apply in your daily life.
There is no fixed number; each process is unique. However, to obtain significant results, I recommend an initial cycle of 5 sessions, which allows you to observe changes and consolidate learning.
