Why therapy in English
The move worked. That's not the same as being fine.
A lot of people arrive in Portugal for a gentler life and build one — in English, among others who did the same. Portuguese stays at the edges: enough for the café, not enough for the thing that's been quietly wrong since before you left wherever you left.
That's a common and unglamorous reason to see a therapist, and it's much easier to do in the language the feeling actually lives in. Online, you choose from everyone working in English — not the one or two practices in Lisbon with a gap — 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.
How it works
Three steps, no referral
Choose your own therapist, pick a time in your own zone from their open hours, meet by video from home. No referral, no insurance paperwork, no Portuguese required.
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

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 Portugal. 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 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.
