EMDR Lisboa English speaking, Portugal, Trauma Healing
Looking for EMDR therapy in Lisbon or an English-speaking therapist in Portugal?
At Psicovias, we offer a compassionate and evidence-based approach to healing emotional pain and trauma through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a method that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences and restore emotional balance.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR was developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro and is now one of the most recognized therapies worldwide for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on how the brain stores and processes emotional memories.
Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds, the mind can safely reprocess experiences that once felt overwhelming, allowing natural healing to take place.
This process helps reduce the emotional intensity of past memories and allows new, positive beliefs to emerge, such as “I am safe now” or “I did the best I could.”
What EMDR Therapy Can Help With
EMDR is an effective treatment for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
- Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
- Grief, loss, and emotional shock
- Relationship and attachment wounds
- Guilt, shame, and self-criticism
- Low self-esteem or negative self-image
Whether your difficulty stems from a specific event or from ongoing emotional stress, EMDR can help you reconnect with your sense of safety, confidence, and inner calm.
EMDR Therapy in Lisbon, Integrative and Bilingual Support
At Psicovias, EMDR therapy is available in English or Portuguese, both in-person in Lisbon and online across Portugal and Europe.
Each session is adapted to your rhythm, needs, and therapeutic goals, within a space of trust, respect, and compassion.
We often integrate EMDR with other evidence-based modalities, such as:
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Hypnotherapy and guided imagery
- Emotion-Focused and Integrative psychotherapy
This allows a holistic and flexible approach to emotional healing, not just reducing symptoms, but restoring connection with your body, emotions, and life story.
What Clients Often Experience
After EMDR therapy, clients commonly report feeling:
- Lighter and more at peace with themselves
- Less reactive to triggers or past memories
- More connected and emotionally grounded
EMDR does not erase memories; it helps integrate them into a new understanding of who you are, so the past can finally stay in the past.
