My therapeutic approach is active, empathetic, and focused on deep understanding and processing emotions. I create a secure environment where clients can address the challenging experiences required for meaningful transformation. My approach requires clients to be motivated and actively work on change with my guidance, including outside of our sessions.

About Me

My name is Sylwia Latacz and I am a licensed psychologist and psychotherapist. I earned my master’s degree in psychology in Jagiellonian University in Poland and than continued my education as integrative psychotherapist. In total, I completed 12 years of professional training. Since 2021 I work with individual clients and couples in Lisbon. I support people in overcoming difficulties, finding a sense of authenticity and solutions in seemingly hopeless situations. I work primarily with expats who are looking for therapist who knows the specifics of the experience of living abroad. As an integrative psychotherapist I incorporate several therapeutic theories to tailor an approach specifically for you. To guarantee high levels of professionalism, I work under continuous supervision and regularly engage in professional trainings. For me, psychotherapy is not only a method of coping with difficulties, but above all it is a method of experiencing one's life more deeply. Psychotherapy can be a path to deeper acceptance of oneself and others. I invite you to take this journey together.

Approach

After many years of learning about different approaches to therapy, I've come to understand that there is no one approach superior to all others. What is truly effective is to understand what the client needs in a given moment. Integrative Psychotherapy allows for a better adaptation of the work to the distinctive characteristics and needs of each client, enabling both therapist and client to utilize the best tools based on the type of problem, personality, and stage of therapy. In my practice, I combine the following modalities: Psychodynamic understanding of psychological problems, providing a deep focus on the roots of current difficulties by exploring early life experiences, relational patterns, and unconscious conflicts. This helps us understand why certain patterns were developed. Experiential Therapies (such as Emotion-Focused Therapy), with a deep focus on active working through emotions. For a profound and lasting change to happen, we need to go beyond intellectual insight and engage with feelings on a felt level, allowing for emotional release and reorganization. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), providing practicality and structure to the process. CBT helps to identify, challenge, and modify unhelpful thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors that maintain emotional distress.
