Getting started
You can contact either practitioner directly by phone, WhatsApp or email to request an appointment and ask about availability.
Gonçalo Neves offers psychotherapy from adolescence onwards, relational psychosomatics and couples therapy. Filipa Neves offers psychotherapy for all ages, parenting consultations and Babygrow.
Initial assessment
Psychotherapy, relational psychosomatics and couples therapy begin with an assessment that may take up to three sessions.
This gives us an opportunity to get to know you, understand your difficulties and expectations, and consider whether we can help. We discuss our initial understanding with you and, where continuing is appropriate, propose a direction for the therapeutic work.
Each assessment session has the same duration and fee as subsequent sessions of that service. All fees listed are per session.
Fees per session
| Service | Practitioner | Duration | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Psychotherapy | Gonçalo Neves or Filipa Neves | 45 minutes | €80 |
| Relational psychosomatics | Gonçalo Neves | 45 minutes | €80 |
| Couples therapy | Gonçalo Neves | 60 minutes | €120 |
| Parenting consultations | Filipa Neves | 60 minutes | €100 |
| Babygrow | Filipa Neves | 60 minutes | €100 |
Babygrow is a separate consultation with Filipa Neves, focusing on a woman’s experience of motherhood at its different stages.
Frequency and continuity
Psychotherapy and relational psychosomatics take place at least weekly. For psychotherapy, we reserve a regular day and time.
Couples therapy is weekly, with flexibility in scheduling to accommodate both partners’ availability.
Parenting consultations can include one-off sessions. Child psychotherapy is a separate, ongoing process and follows the arrangements for psychotherapy.
Length of therapy
There is no single timescale for everyone. Building trust, understanding experiences in depth, and working with that understanding take time and involvement.
The course of therapy depends on your difficulties, your goals and the work we develop together. The first sessions allow us to begin understanding your situation and propose a direction for the process.
In person and online sessions
All services are available in person and online, with the same fees and duration. Gonçalo Neves and Filipa Neves both offer sessions in Portuguese and English.
