Inês Gaspar

Psychologist, MSc

I work with people who often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, caught in cycles that are hard to break, or unsure about what they truly want from life. My approach is open, compassionate, and down-to-earth — blending mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and self-compassion work to help you relate differently to your thoughts and emotions, and move toward a life more aligned with your values. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” — it’s about getting to know yourself more deeply, understanding existing patterns, and creating change at your own pace.

Ana Amaral

Psychologist, MSc

Hi, I’m Ana! What matters most to me in therapy is creating a space where you feel safe and heard. I believe real change starts with trust and comfort. I’ve worked with adults from diverse backgrounds, using a flexible, down-to-earth approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral and Systemic Therapy, adapting to what you’re going through — whether it’s a life change, needing clarity, or some other challenge. Together, we look at your past and present to help you build a more balanced and meaningful future.
