Psychotherapy in Cascais — English-Speaking Therapy for Individuals and Couples
We work with the international community around Cascais, Estoril, Carcavelos and Oeiras — in person in Cascais, a short drive off the A5 or the Cascais line towns, and online across Portugal when travel or distance gets in the way.

Psychotherapy Services in Cascais
We offer individual therapy in Cascais for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns and the strain of a major life transition, and couples therapy in Cascais for partners working through conflict, an affair, or a relationship that has drifted into distance. Some clients search for a marriage counselor Cascais or marriage counseling Cascais rather than "couples therapy" — it's the same practical support under a different name, and both terms lead to the same page. Our approach draws on ISTDP, EFT and psychodynamic therapy — we don't re-teach the theory here; our Lisbon practice covers each method in depth.
Both are run by the same two therapists, and in most cases you can choose who you see. See directions and parking if location is what you need to decide first.

Who we work with
- People who moved to Portugal in the last few years and are still finding their footing
- International couples navigating a relationship without the usual network of family and old friends nearby
- The partner who came along for someone else's job, visa or opportunity — and is quietly paying for it
- Parents with children at one of the international schools near Cascais, who need appointments that fit around drop-off
- People working remotely for companies in another time zone, whose schedule doesn't match a typical 9-to-5 practice
- Anyone who wants to work in English with a licensed psychologist or a certified psychotherapist, without translating their inner life into a third language first
Cascais or Lisbon?
We also run a practice in Lisbon. The honest, current answer to "which one" is mostly geography: if you live around Cascais, Estoril, Cascais or the towns inland, this office saves you the drive into town; if you're in central Lisbon, our Lisbon practice — or an online session — will usually be more convenient. If you're roughly equidistant from both, tell us and we'll help you decide rather than leaving you to guess.
