Hi! My name is Soraia Rocha and, above all, I’m fascinated by what makes us human: emotions, relationships and the way we connect with ourselves and with others.

I hold a degree in Psychology and a master’s in Clinical Psychology and Adult Psychotherapy from the University of Minho, and I’m deepening my academic path in the Doctoral Programme in Human Sexuality. Throughout my training, I specialised in Clinical Sexology and Couples Therapy at INPSIC, and I continue to expand my knowledge in the field through the Portuguese Society of Clinical Sexology. In addition, I have training in Psychological First Aid.

As a psychologist, I work mainly with individual and couples therapy, addressing issues such as relationships, sexuality, anxiety, self-esteem, depression and burnout. I use a cognitive-behavioural approach (CBT), with special attention to the therapeutic relationship and to personalising the support: each person is unique and deserves a safe space.

I believe that life is made of small transformations that lead to great changes, and that’s what I seek to support in each process: improving emotional and relational well-being, strengthening bonds and developing tools that allow us to live with more balance and authenticity.

Outside the office, I enjoy sport, music and reading, because I believe that caring for ourselves also means nurturing passions and curiosities. In my work, I seek to create a space where you can feel welcomed, without judgement, and free to be yourself, while we walk together towards greater well-being.
