Dr Isabel Gonçalves

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“As a psychotherapist, I provide support for a wide range of mental health challenges, working with individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. With a passion for intercultural understanding, I work with the expatriate community.”

About Me

I understand the unique challenges faced by expatriates. My passion for intercultural understanding allows me to create a truly confidential, non-judgmental space. Here, you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. We can work together to navigate the complexities of living abroad, ensuring your experiences are deeply understood. This approach helps individuals find clarity amidst transitions.

Approach

When questions about settling, identity or mood come up, I guide the work toward practical, culturally aware steps that help you make sense of your experience and regain steady footing. Sessions in Lisbon or online, in English, French, Portuguese or Spanish, are paced to fit your needs — sometimes reflective, sometimes action-focused — and we shape each meeting around what’s most pressing. Between sessions you’ll try short experiments and simple planning to shift patterns, and we track what helps. This way of working suits adults coping with relocation and adjustment.
