Lígia Gonçalves Silva

Hello! My name is Lígia and I'm a Portuguese psychologist living in Amsterdam.

I deeply believe what surrounds us has a big impact on who we are. Thus, the focus of my intervention is on how we relate to the world around us: family, friends, work, country.

In parallel with this systemic approach, I also integrate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies and tools into my practice, with the aim of promoting personal development and autonomy while enhancing well-being and quality of life.

Regardless of the form - individual, couple or family - my focus is always on searching for combined solutions without judgment.

Ana Isabel Oliveira

Hi! I’m Ana Isabel Oliveira and I’m a clinical psychologist currently residing and working in Lisbon. I grew up in Macau and, during college, I got to study and live in Italy, Ireland and Portugal where I consolidated my academic and professional experience.

I am passionate about psychology and believe in the difference it can make, not only in helping us understand who we were, are and can be, but also to deal with what’s bothering us and the inevitabilities of life, such as loss and grief.

In my approach, we are a team wherein the client has an active role in their self-discovery, in problem-solving and in promoting their well-being.

Count on me to listen, empathize, understand, help deconstruct, offer tools and challenge you for the better!
