How I work
I'm Carla Ferreira, Clinical Director, Psychologist and Coach at Clínica da Vila. I trained in Clinical Psychology and hold a postgraduate qualification in Chemical and Behavioural Dependencies, alongside an international certification in Coaching and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Throughout my career, I've worked mainly with young people and adults, supporting processes of self-discovery, resilience and emotional balance. I believe deeply that every person is unique, and that understanding their experiences, patterns and emotions is the first step towards growth.
I work with mood disorders, personality disorders, stress and burnout, addictions and relationship difficulties, always adapting the intervention to the person in front of me, not to the theory.
"More than treating symptoms, my focus is helping each person rediscover meaning and confidence in themselves."
I work with each person to develop tools that promote wellbeing, autonomy and personal fulfilment, so that difficult moments become opportunities for growth.
