Lisbon, Feb 2026

We had a couple of sessions for child psychology and felt like we were directing the conversation instead of being guided. We wanted clearer next steps and tools, and also more involvement of our child, but the approach was mostly parent-focused. She’s a lovely person, just not the right fit for us. The price felt a bit expensive, so we decided to stop after two sessions.

I've had a positive experience working with Cecile. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space and has a thoughtful, insightful approach. Our sessions have helped me gain clarity and make some progress. The price is reasonable for the quality of care provided.

I came to Dotan in a vulnerable state after being evacuated from my home due to war and going through a breakup. From our first Zoom session, I felt a remarkable emotional connection and complete understanding, which was crucial for my healing. Dotan truly cares, creating a space where I can speak freely and tailoring sessions to suit my needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring mental health professionals in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking mental health professionals in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring mental health professionals in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring mental health professionals in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say mental health professionals in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, mental health professionals are usually called profissionais de saude mental. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find mental health professionals I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
