Mrs Raquel Ryttinger

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a bilingual (Portuguese and English) Clinical Psychologist since 2011, a Master's degree in Psychopathology and Psychoanalysis (Brazil), and a Ph.D. Student in Clinical Psychology (Portugal). Member of Society for Psychotherapy Research.”

About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist, I provide a space to explore complex feelings in English or Portuguese. Since 2011, I have supported individuals navigating life’s challenges. Drawing on psychopathology and psychoanalysis, we can understand deep-seated patterns. This approach helps those seeking to make sense of their inner world. It offers clarity and a path forward, especially for bilingual clients.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a careful exploration of recurring ways of feeling and relating, attended with curiosity and clinical rigor. In Brasília or online, in English or Portuguese, I move between reflective dialogue and structured assessment to map mood and anxiety cycles and the stories that keep them going. Between sessions you may be invited brief experiments or reflective notes to notice shifts in daily life, always paced to your needs. This way of working often suits people seeking depth, clarity and practical insight.
