About us
Gonçalo Neves and Filipa Neves
Psicoterapia Carcavelos is the joint practice of Gonçalo Neves and Filipa Neves. We share a commitment to understanding each person as an individual and to exploring the place of relationships in their life.
Our training and professional backgrounds differ. These differences are reflected in the services we each offer and the people we work with.
Gonçalo Neves
Relational psychotherapist
Gonçalo offers psychotherapy and relational psychosomatics to people from adolescence onwards, as well as couples therapy. His background includes training in relational psychoanalysis, relational psychosomatics and couples psychotherapy in Madrid, Paris and Valencia respectively.
Filipa Neves
Clinical psychologist
Filipa offers psychotherapy to people of all ages, as well as parenting consultations and Babygrow, a consultation focusing on a woman’s experience of motherhood. Parent–child relationships, parenting and sexuality are areas of interest throughout her professional development. Her work in child psychotherapy also involves parents in the child’s therapeutic process.
Building a therapeutic relationship
We seek to understand the people who come to us, their difficulties and what they hope for from therapy. The direction of the work begins with this encounter and develops over the course of the process.
Trust is not something we take for granted at the outset. It develops through the relationship, with time, attention and involvement from both sides. In this setting, we aim to support a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
We both offer sessions in Portuguese and English, in person in Carcavelos and online.
