Ms Helen Sproat

Psychotherapist

“UKCP existential-analytic psychotherapist offering a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore challenges and deepen self-understanding.”

About Me

I am a licensed psychotherapist in Lisboa, Portugal, specializing in abuse recovery and relationship issues. I provide confidential individual psychotherapy to help you process trauma, set clear boundaries, and rebuild trust.

Approach

Sessions unfold at your pace, held in English from my Lisboa room or via secure online video, with attention to safety and clarity. I listen closely to the stories your body and relationships tell, gently naming patterns, testing boundaries, and helping you rehearse different responses between meetings through small, practical steps. Work is collaborative and steady: we track what feels tolerable, slow down when needed, and bring compassion to difficult memories. People recovering from abuse or repair of intimate ties often find this careful, embodied rhythm most helpful.
