Ms Celina Abrey

Family Therapist

“Each challenging moment provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect and to integrate what life hands us. Sometimes this is messy, often it is hardship, but my hope is to walk alongside my clients and to see them through to what is next, hopefully with a renewed sense of strength, self-acceptance and awareness.”

About Me

I understand life's challenging moments can feel messy and hard. I offer a supportive space for you to slow down and reflect on what you are experiencing. I help individuals, couples, and families process hardships. My guidance aims for renewed strength and self-acceptance. This approach supports your journey to greater awareness, helping you integrate difficult experiences into your life. My aim is to walk alongside you, offering a calm presence.

Approach

When life feels tangled I guide a careful, stepwise approach that honours small discoveries and practical choices. Sessions in Figueira da Foz or Coimbra, in English or French, and via secure online meetings are paced to match your comfort, balancing focused conversation with moments of silence to notice what shifts. We map relational patterns and emotional triggers, try brief between-session experiments, and practice gentle steps toward eating, grieving or anxiety-related shifts so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. People navigating family roles, relocation or major transitions often find this collaborative pace useful.
