Coaching at Clínica da Vila

What it is

Coaching is a structured process in which a person (or team) works on concrete goals with the support of a certified professional. It isn't therapy — it's a space focused on action, decision-making and development, with a beginning, middle and end.

The journey is organised into 12-session packages. This length gives enough time to work through goals in depth, see concrete results and consolidate change. Each session has a focus and produces small decisions to apply between sessions.

When it makes sense to seek help

Important decisions

Support to clarify priorities and make significant personal or professional decisions.

Leadership and teams

Developing leadership, motivation and team management skills.

Time management

Structuring your day, priorities, focus and preventing burnout.

Career and transitions

Changing roles, returning to the job market, entrepreneurship, career reorientation.

Achieving goals

Clear definition, planning and execution of personal or professional projects.

Communication and relationships

Working on assertive communication, conflict management and working relationships.

Confidence and self-awareness

Identifying strengths, limiting patterns and areas for development.

Work-life balance

Managing the boundary between professional and personal life, where it so often gets out of balance.

How it works

  1. 01

    Discovery session

    An initial, free or low-commitment meeting to see if it's the right fit and define the goals of the process.

  2. 02

    Setting goals

    Together, we translate intentions into concrete, measurable and scheduled goals.

  3. 03

    12-session package

    Fortnightly 60-minute meetings, over around 6 months. Frequency can be adjusted.

  4. 04

    Tasks between sessions

    Every session ends with small commitments to apply between meetings. The real work happens outside the room.

  5. 05

    Mid-point reviews

    Halfway through the process, we pause to assess progress and adjust course.

  6. 06

    Closing

    A final session dedicated to consolidating learnings, results and next steps.

Coaching isn't therapy

Coaching works on the present and future, with a focus on action. When what comes up in a session calls for deeper, emotional, relational or clinical work, we refer to the clinic's psychology or psychiatry team.
