Theresa Zagers

Clinical Psychologist

As a licensed clinical and intercultural psychologist, I offer counseling for adults seeking professional support. If you are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, or depression, I provide a safe space and professional guidance to explore these challenges. My experience living and working across cultures means I understand the complexities of diverse backgrounds. We can work together in German, English, or Dutch, finding practical ways forward tailored to your unique situation. Please reach out if you are searching for support for (feelings of) - anxiety - depression - stress & overwhelm (general, adaptation, acculturation) - self-knowledge & well-being - relationship challenges - irritability and self-criticism

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist since 2020 and intercultural psychologist since 2022. I strongly believe that in all stages of life, a person is not detachable from the broader community and groups around them but that they shape each other in powerful and profound ways. Consequently, my professional work is guided by this conviction.

Approach

I offer psychological counselling in German, Dutch and English for people that currently feel like they would need some professional support. I work integrative, meaning that I take into account counselling techniques from various approaches in psychotherapy (mostly systemic but also, e.g., cognitive-behavioral) and with a specific focus on working culturally-sensitive. That is, to find the best evidence-based practices tailored to what works best for you and your specific circumstances. We would meet online, however, if you are in Lisbon, we can discuss other meeting forms (such as 'Walk & Talk') once in a while. Walk & Talk means that we would meet in a calm location and have the session while taking a walk, preferably with some nature around. It is a technique that has been scientifically proven to be beneficial for several issues (e.g., burn-out and stress; Van den Berg & Beute, 2021) and simultaneously gives us the opportunity for an in-person meeting.
