Mr Rafael Oliveira

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

“Psicoterapeuta em supervisão na Associação Portuguesa de Psicoterapia Psicanalítica (APPSI), integrante da comunidade virtual Meditando Junto, ofereço apoio psicoterapêutico.”

About Me

I offer psychotherapeutic support, working under supervision with the Portuguese Association of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (APPSI). I guide you in exploring your inner world, fostering deeper self-understanding. My approach honours the shared human journey, drawing insights from the Meditando Junto virtual community. This makes me a good match for those ready to reflect on their experiences and cultivate new perspectives.

Approach

Rooted in my connection with APPSI and the Meditando Junto community, therapy unfolds as a careful, collaborative inquiry into what matters most to you. Sessions in Lisbon or online, conducted in Portuguese, move at a steady, attuned pace where you lead the focus and I reflect patterns, emotions and recurring thoughts. Between meetings we may bring attention to daily moments and shifts in mood to deepen insight and tolerance for difficulty. This way of working often helps adults coping with anxiety, low mood or seeking personal development.
