Online EMDR & Trauma Therapy - In Lisbon and Worldwide.
Integrating EMDR, Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
For women and men who are done abandoning themselves to belong.
I offer online EMDR therapy worldwide and in-person EMDR therapy in Lisbon. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy recommended for PTSD and complex trauma. My work is attachment-informed, allowing us to process both early relational wounds and more recent traumatic experiences.
Life is precious. It’s a gift.
You want to seize it, shape it and create your dream.
A dream which enriches you and your loved ones.
And ripples out to benefit the world.
A life where your heart expands with joy.
Your soul soars with freedom and purpose.
Where you feel deep safety and true belonging.
Without shrinking. Without performing. Without betraying yourself to keep the peace.
Not realistic some might say. But you know settling is unthinkable.
Yet you recognise you need support. You’ve read the books. Done the therapy. Come as far as you can on your own.
But you’re stuck.
Disempowered. Procrastinating. Scared. Not trusting . Self -criticising . Abandoning parts of yourself in order to fit in. Over -accommodating others. Playing small. Self -sacrificing. Role-playing. Or playing out hidden loyalties that keep you chained.
You need someone to help figure out your blind spots. The subtle and ingenious ways you self-sabotage. Someone who understands your vision. Someone who can help you connect up the dots.
Someone who supports you to reclaim all the parts of yourself. The powerful parts. The creative parts. The trusting parts. The worthy parts.
The right kind of support to help you break through.
And create the abundant life of your dreams.
A Warm Welcome!
I’m Alexandra, an attachment-informed EMDR Therapist and Gestalt Therapist. I trained for 6 years at the Gestalt Centre, London in the UK. I got accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy in2015 and by then EMDR Association UK and Europe in 2019. I divide my time between London, UK and Lisbon, Portugal. I work online and in-person (in Lisbon). I support you to heal trauma, anxiety, and self-sabotage—so that you have the power to create the joyful, free yet safe life of your dreams.

Who I Work With
I work with women and men who are thoughtful, motivated and willing to look honestly at themselves. You may have already done some inner work (not a prerequisite), read the books, reflected deeply — and sense there is another layer ready to be explored.
You know something needs to shift. You feel the cost of staying the same. And you’re ready to engage in consistent, depth-oriented work now — not someday.
Many of my clients are navigating attachment trauma, complex trauma (CPTSD), major life transitions or identity shifts. Some are living internationally or adjusting to life in Lisbon and looking for English-speaking, depth-oriented therapy.
Therapy approaches I use - EMDR, Gestalt Therapy & IFS
Gestalt Therapy
A relational, present-focused approach that helps you understand how you relate to yourself and the world around you—so you can create new, healthier patterns.

EMDR Therapy
A powerful, evidence-based trauma therapy used to process and release painful memories. I use attachment-informed EMDR for deep healing from PTSD, CPTSD, and early relational trauma.

SOMATIC IFS THERAPY
IFS is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps us understand and heal the different “parts” of ourselves. Instead of pushing away anxiety, shame, or self-sabotage, With Somatic Awareness, Conscious Breathing, Radical Resonance and Mindful Movement we meet these parts with compassion, uncover their protective role, and access the calm, confident Self that’s always within us. In therapy, this creates deep, lasting change—bringing more clarity, freedom, and ease into daily life.

EMDR Intensive Therapy (3-Hour & 6-Hour Options)
For those who want focused, accelerated trauma processing, I offer 3-hour or 6-hour EMDR intensives. These are structured, contained sessions designed for deep trauma work in a shorter timeframe. Ideal for individuals who want to fast-track healing and aren’t afraid to go deep.
£450 for a 3-hr intensive or £900 for a 6-hr intensive - payment plan available.
For Those Ready for a More Extensive Shift
For clients who are ready to go all in and create more foundational, lasting change, I offer an extended 90-minute weekly container.
This format combines psychotherapy, EMDR therapy and parts work with between-session WhatsApp support to maintain momentum and integration.
It is designed for those ready to move beyond incremental change and create a more substantial identity shift.
You’re Not Meant to Stay Where You Are
At some point, coping stops being enough.
The strategies that once kept you safe begin to feel restrictive. The patterns that once protected you begin to cost you.
Trauma responses are intelligent adaptations. They are not character flaws.
But there comes a moment when staying the same costs more than changing.
If you’re here, you likely feel that moment.
I help you reclaim all of you — and build from there.
Let’s talk about what you need and see if we’re a good fit.
