Gino Cosme

Psychotherapist

An experienced licensed psychotherapist who specializes in working online with gay men throughout Europe and beyond. As a gay therapist, I bring lived experience to my work. I’ve done the unlearning. I’ve sat with the silence, the shame, and the deep hunger to feel like enough. And I help other gay men do the same.

About Me

I am a psychotherapist in Lisboa, Portugal. I treat sex addiction and support LGBTQI+ clients. I offer online therapy, trauma counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy to help you build self‑esteem.

Approach

Sessions move between quiet reflection and direct inquiry—online from Lisboa in English, paced to your rhythm. I hold a steady, trauma-aware presence for the shame and the urges that drive compulsive sexual behaviour, using targeted prompts and practical experiments you can try between meetings. We map repeating patterns, practice alternative choices and build steadier self-worth through small, achievable steps. This approach tends to suit men seeking honest, pragmatic support to change habits and feel more whole.
