Online Counseling and Psychotherapy

ISPA Clinic offers Online Counseling by previously appointment, allowing you to access professional psychological support from anywhere in the country or the world. Drawing on ISPA’s longstanding reputation as the first psychology university in Portugal, our clinic brings together experienced therapists with strong scientific foundations and up-to-date expertise in current best practices across psychological care.

Flexible Scheduling

Online Consuling typically makes it easier to find appointment times that fit your schedule and eliminates the need for travel time. 

No Geographical Barriers

Your physical location doesn’t matter — our therapists are accessible regardless of where you are. 

Enhanced Privacy

Some people prefer the comfort and discretion of receiving support from their own space. Online sessions can provide that confidential environment. 

Greater Freedom of Choice

Online consultations offer the freedom to choose your therapist without being limited to professionals available in your area or city. 

Easier Contact Between Sessions

In addition to scheduled consultations, it’s often easier to stay in touch with your therapist by email or messaging (such as WhatsApp), with timely responses.

Scientific research supports the effectiveness of counseling in an online context. In digital sessions, the client and therapist build a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship and work together to develop strategies that address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Online therapeutic processes have shown positive outcomes and good results.

ISPA Clinic is a pioneer in Portugal in implementing process and outcome monitoring systems for psychological and psychotherapeutic support. This means that, together with your psychotherapist, you will have additional tools at your disposal to understand whether the psychological support is beneficial to you as it progresses.

Our online counseling can take place through digital platforms (such as Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Zoom) or by telephone. Sessions can be conducted as single appointments or as a series of scheduled sessions. 

Online Counseling plays an important role in promoting emotional balance, identifying strategies to cope with current challenges, clarifying doubts, and finding pathways towards effective psychological well-being.
