Hello! I’m Inês, a Portuguese Psychologist living in Amsterdam.
I came to Amsterdam in November 2017 to embrace a new project. As an expat myself I realize how sometimes it’s not easy to live abroad, how you can feel alone and misunderstood and how that can impact your motivation and your day-to-day mood.
I work with adults, helping them overcome personal problems and find their own path. With my work I intend to support people in becoming more aware of who they are now, who they want to be, and how they can achieve that.

Hello! I’m Ana Amaral and I am a Portuguese Psychologist living in the Netherlands since 2019. Being an expat myself, I believe the first and most important thing in a good therapy is the relationship of trust, comfort, non-judgment and empathy established with the person that searches for a more stable and satisfying life.
During my professional journey I have worked with adults of various ages, backgrounds and cultures. In my practice I use a flexible and customized approach mainly based on Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Therapy is focused on your past and present difficulties, with the aim of creating a better quality of life and well-being in the present and future.
