Dr Marta Oliveira

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“A Clinical Psychologist, specialist in health and developmental psychology, more than 10 years of experience with children, adolescents and adults.”

About Me

Navigating health concerns or life's developmental stages can bring unique challenges. I understand these periods of change for individuals and families. With over a decade of experience, I guide children, adolescents, and adults. I create a supportive space for exploring feelings. Together, we find practical ways to enhance your well-being. My goal is to help you build resilience and move towards greater understanding and personal growth.

Approach

Working with growth and health-related transitions, I guide sessions with steady pacing and clear, practical steps so change feels manageable. I meet people in Coimbra or online, in English or Portuguese, keeping sessions structured yet responsive to what emerges each week. We map patterns together, use brief assessments to clarify priorities, and try small experiments or routines between meetings to reduce stress and support daily functioning. This way of working tends to help those facing burnout, chronic illness challenges or developmental shifts.
