Psychology tailored to you

Andreia Martins

Licensed Psychologist offering Psychological Support and Therapy in English and Portuguese

Integrated Masters degree (2019) from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, with a sub-specialization in Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Psychological Disorders and Health

Since moving to Amsterdam, I've worked full-time as a psychologist for five years within the Dutch specialized mental health services, at the Mental Health Clinic Isabel Henriques & GGZ-Instelling Annette Kalbfleisch
Recently, I've started my private practice, offering therapy for adults, whilst also providing therapy at Spring Health and Inscape Health, companies striving to break barriers within mental health

Low self-esteem, trauma, emotional distress, burnout, relationship challenges, communication, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, decision-making, life adjustments/transitions, overthinking, feelings of loneliness

I enjoy working with my clients as a team, whilst approaching their life experiences with curiosity and compassion. I truly believe this is what enables us to move towards positive change

Difficulties I can help you with include:

Therapeutic Approaches

Schema Therapy

Recommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Recommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Combines mindfulness and behavioral strategies to help clients accept difficult emotions and commit to values-based actions

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Recommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact

I will strive to offer you a therapeutic relationship which helps you to experience and internalize safety and care

Together we find ways of seeing and of being that are healthier and more aligned with your values, thus contributing to long-term mental flexibility and capacity to deal with obstacles with adaptive solutions and resilience

'I had very pleasant conversations with Andreia. She takes the time for you and also has humor, which makes you feel like the distance is reduced. I get a lot out of the conversations and feel that I can handle it in the future. I also know what I can do when I'm not feeling so well and that gives me a calm feeling. Thank you'

'This experience with you has been very important to me. I have learned many things, it has made me more mature, more of a mother, a woman, learning to see things from another angle. I have noticed changes in my behavior. It is gratifying'
