Online Consultation
Clinical excellence and therapeutic support, wherever you are.
The same clinical efficacy, in the comfort of your space
Are Integrative Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis just as effective online as in person? Absolutely. Studies from the American Psychological Association (APA) confirm that clinical efficacy remains unchanged at a distance.
In fact, our practice shows that the vast majority of patients prefer the digital format. Being in the comfort of your own home significantly accelerates relaxation, lowering the nervous system's defences and deepening the results of the therapeutic process (and mental reprogramming, in cases where we use Clinical Hypnosis).

- Supported and stable screen: Computer, tablet or phone with camera, placed in a fixed position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are online consultations as effective as in-person ones?
Yes. A comprehensive meta-analysis published in the Journal of Technology in Human Services (Barak et al., 2008), supported by recent APA guidelines, confirms that the clinical efficacy of online therapy is statistically equivalent to in-person therapy, with the added benefit of the patient being in the comfort and safety of their own home.
What happens if the internet drops during an online Clinical Hypnosis session?
There is no danger whatsoever. If the connection drops and you stop hearing the therapist's voice, your brain notices the absence of stimulus immediately. The natural result is that the therapeutic trance dissipates and you will open your eyes within moments, feeling awake and refreshed, as if you had just woken from a nap.
How does the first online consultation work?
Before the session, you will receive a secure link to access the video call platform. The first consultation (Anamnesis) is a crucial moment of clinical assessment. According to scientific evidence, success in psychotherapy strongly depends on the Therapeutic Alliance. This is when we map your history, understand your emotional needs and define, together and with full transparency, the goals and intervention plan best suited for you.
Is my clinical data protected?
Absolutely. All sessions are conducted on platforms with end-to-end encryption. We strictly comply with all GDPR regulations and the professional confidentiality code of ethics of the Portuguese Psychologists Association.
