Living in Brazil, in English
Therapy in English, online, wherever in Brazil you are. No waiting list.

Why therapy in English
Portuguese for warmth, English for the difficult parts
Brazil is warm and quick to include you, and many who live here in English pick up enough Portuguese to belong — but not enough for the interior weather of a hard year. Talking about it in a language you're still learning means saying the outline instead of the thing.
In English you can say the thing. Online, you choose from every therapist working in English, wherever they are, and meet from home.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
Therapy in your city
How it works
Three steps
Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you're afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

- CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida) — 24 hours a day, free (Portuguese language)188
Common questions
Do I need to speak Portuguese?
No — that is the point. Sessions are in English, and so is everything on this site.
My therapist isn't in Brazil. Does that matter?
Sessions are online, so location matters less than fit. Each therapist's profile shows where they are qualified to practise. If it matters for your situation, ask them before you book — they will tell you.
Is online therapy effective?
For most of what people bring to therapy, research finds no meaningful difference in outcome versus in person.
What if it's not the right fit?
Choose another therapist, any time, without explaining yourself.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What you say to your therapist stays between the two of you, subject to the same legal and professional limits that apply wherever your therapist practises.
