Hi, I'm Vera,

I’ve been a Clinical Psychologist since 2004, specializing in the psychodynamic approach, and I’m a full member of the Portuguese Psychologists’ Association and the Health Regulatory Authority. With 20 years’ experience, I am dedicated to helping people better understand their inner worlds.

Throughout my career, I have worked with different age groups – children, young people and adults – in institutions such as CAT (Centro de Atendimento a Toxicodependentes), schools, Centro de Recursos para a Inclusão, clinics and shelters.
I work in various areas of psychology, always with an eye on the individual and specific needs of each person.

I have experience supporting children and young people at risk and with special educational needs, with a focus on learning difficulties and neurodevelopmental disorders. In private practice, I support the emotional development of young people, helping with issues such as anxiety, behavior and interpersonal relationships. In addition, I carry out parental counseling, providing essential support to families.

In my clinical practice with adults, I specialize in treating trauma, bereavement, personality disorders, mood disorders and other emotional challenges. I also have training in Clinical Neuropsychology. I try to help each person understand and reframe their experiences, strengthening their emotional autonomy.

I believe that psychotherapy is a dive into the essence of who we are – a space where pain finds meaning, fears gain a voice and transformation takes place. This makes it possible to have a more authentic relationship with yourself and with others.
