Miss Sílvia Rodrigues

Licensed Psychologist

“An experienced psychologist for Portuguese people.”

About Me

I support Portuguese individuals and families, drawing on my experience as a licensed psychologist. I understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges you might face. I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard, exploring concerns in your native language. We can work together to find clarity and build resilience. Clients appreciate feeling understood and being able to express themselves fully.

Approach

For Portuguese people I prefer a practical, conversational approach that turns worries into manageable steps. In Funchal or online, always in Portuguese, sessions blend attentive listening with gentle challenge, targeting relationship patterns, anxiety, grief or work-related stress. We set short goals, pause to reflect, try simple strategies between meetings, and review progress so adjustments feel collaborative and grounded. This steady, solution-focused rhythm tends to suit adults and families looking for clarity and gradual change.
