About
Ana Amaral
My name is Ana Amaral and I am a Portuguese Psychologist living in the Netherlands since 2019. I have worked with people of various ages, backgrounds and cultures, having experienced first-hand what it is like to support, counsel and evaluate clients always having in mind the improvement of their well-being and quality of life.
In my practice I use a flexible and customized approach based on a cognitive behavioural as well as systemic and psychodynamic therapies. I will help you develop skills and strategies adapted to you, your needs and your goals. Being an expat myself, I believe the first and most important thing in a good therapy is the relationship of trust, comfort and empathy established with the person that searches for a more stable and satisfying life.
