Psychologist

“An experienced competent and compassionate relationship psychotherapist therapist working predominantly with adults, couples etc.”

About Me

This experienced relationship psychotherapist provides a compassionate space for adults and couples to strengthen their connections. They help clients navigate complex emotions and communication patterns, guiding them towards clearer understanding. Sessions foster open dialogue, offering practical ways to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. This approach suits those seeking to resolve long-standing issues and cultivate deeper connection, ensuring all voices are genuinely heard.

Approach

My sessions balance attentive listening with practical skill-building, turning stuck patterns into manageable steps that feel doable between meetings. I offer face-to-face work in Lisbon and secure online sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian, keeping pace with what feels safest and most useful for you. We focus on identifying interaction habits, safety concerns and shifts in self-worth, using reflective questions, structured practices and short between-session experiments to test new ways of relating. This approach suits adults and couples ready to move from survival toward clearer connection and agency.
