"This work is not about becoming someone else. It is about breaking the patterns that keep you disconnected from yourself, rebuilding self-trust, and creating a life that feels more honest, meaningful, and free."
Recognition
Does any of this sound familiar?
I keep doing things I said I wouldn't do. I don't trust myself right now."
You made the promise. You broke it. Again. And the worst part is not what you did. It is what you think it means about you.
the loop that awareness alone never breaks.
I've done the therapy, read the books, tried it all. And I still can't change."
You have the language. You understand the patterns. You can explain exactly why you do what you do. And you still do it.
awareness without action is its own kind of trap.
I feel like alcohol, my phone, job has more power over my life than I do."
It started small. A way to get through the day. Now it feels like it is running you. And the worst part is you can see it clearly and still can't stop.
this is not a willpower problem.
I look fine on the outside. But inside something feels flat, numb, stuck."
Nothing is catastrophically wrong. You are functioning. But it feels you are watching life rather than living it. Not in crisis. Just distanced.
not broken. just not alive yet.
Life is passing. Days disappear. I know I'm meant for more than this."
You can already see where this ends if nothing changes. You do not want the next five years to look the same. The urgency is there. The solution is not.
the part of you that knows better is right.
I just want to feel okay being me. Without always having to fight for it.
Along the way, healing became another to-do. You are exhausted from trying to become someone better. You just want to feel peace.
enough is not something you earn. it is something you decide.
TESTIMONIAL FROM Joana, Artist & advertising, Portugal
"I freed myself, overnight, from a terrible addiction. Alcohol. Years of darkness, without purpose and with an enormous feeling of guilt each morning.
But everything changed! Thanks to an inner strength that I didn't know about, but Leonor found it, guided me and showed it to me."
I met Leonor by chance and from the first time we spoke I felt an unexpected empathy like I've never felt with many other therapists.
I started my 1-on-1 sessions two months ago, but after 6 sessions my life changed completely. Mainly in the way I feel and see myself. I freed myself, overnight, from a terrible addiction. Alcohol.Years of darkness, without purpose and with an enormous feeling of guilt each morning.
But everything changed! Thanks to an inner strength that I didn't know about, but Leonor found it, guided me and showed it to me.
During the sessions Leonor is always very focused, very incisive, full of tact and knowledge as well as a great sense of humor which makes this journey lighter and enjoyable. It's very easy to talk to Leonor being completely honest creating a strong bound of trust. It's amazing what we have achieved in such a short time.
Lately, my days have been filled with great joy and energy. Full of light and peace. It's a whole new world. a peaceful one. I feel deeply and i know that this is not a temporary situation, it's my choice.
Thank you Leonor. You're good!
THE RESEARCH SAYS
This is not just your struggle.
the awareness gap
≠
Knowing what needs to change is not the same as changing it. Even when you have the answer, you cannot always make yourself act differently. Awareness alone does not break patterns.
/ Wendy Wood, Duke University habit research
the willpower myth
≠
Willpower is a limited resource and when it runs out, you fall back on the habit. The problem was never discipline. Lasting change requires a different approach entirely.
/ Duckworth, Gendler & Gross, 2016 — NIH Behaviour Change review
the self-trust erosion
↓
Every broken promise to yourself quietly erodes your belief in your own capacity to act. The real pain is not the habit. It is the feeling that you cannot rely on your own word. That can change.
/ Bandura, A. — Self-efficacy theory, 1977 & 1997
the autopilot problem
43%
of daily behaviour runs on autopilot — unconscious, automatic, outside of awareness. You are not weak. You are running on a loop that was built long before you decided to change it.
/ Wendy Wood — Duke University habit research
THE SHIFT
What Liberating You changes
Where you are
- Looking for relief outside: phone, alcohol, work, compulsive shopping, toxic relationships, overreliance on AI
- Stuck in patterns you can see but can’t break
- Breaking promises to yourself, losing self-trust
- Life feels like it’s running you, not the other way around
- Surviving through each day, getting through
- Aware of the problem. Unable to move past it.
Where this takes you
- Breaking patterns in real daily life not just understanding them
- Becoming someone you can trust and rely on
- At ease with yourself, no longer needing to run
- Leading your own life, from the inside out
- Present, purposeful, alive to what actually matters
- Free. Grounded. Genuinely yourself
10 sessions • 75 minutes each
Each session is carefully prepared and built around where you are. We move through a real process together — and within that, we always go where you most need to go. Between sessions, there is space to integrate.
Homework that moves you
Every session ends with one clear, practical step. Not something to add to a list. Something that shifts the way you actually show up in your life between sessions. Because real change doesn't happen in the room, it happens in the days after.

Receive the myGuidebook
While on this journey, a book arrives at your door. 80 pages bringing together psychology, breathing, exercises, and journaling. Practical, clear, and made for real life. Throughout our sessions, we build your personal visual map inside it so what lives in your head becomes more concrete. Everything we build together, in one place you can always return to.
THE JOURNEY
Liberating You
Liberating You is a deeply personal 1:1 process rooted in psychology, lived experience, and the belief that real change is possible even when you've tried everything else.
We work with the whole of you—your habits, your worldview, your relationships, your purpose. Not just insight. Actual change.
HOW IT WORKS
the myalfazema method
Every session is built around you and where you are. Over time, we move through a natural process that creates real, lasting change from the inside out. Most approaches stay at the level of insight , this one visits the place where real change becomes possible. Not a 5-step plan. A real process, built around you.
01 Recognition
See your patterns clearly without judgment, without shame. What's actually happening and why.
02 Understanding
Trace the root. Move beneath the habit to what is actually asking for attention.
03 Reframe
Shift the belief holding the pattern in place. Change the lens, change the behaviour.
04 Act
Move from insight into daily life. Real, grounded action, not motivation, but momentum.
05 Sustain
Build the inner resources that make change last. Rebuild self-trust from the inside out.
06 Freedom
Step into who you were always meant to be. Purpose, liberation, aliveness.
I have lived this process myself, not just studied it. That makes all the difference in how I guide others through it."
TESTIMONIAL FROM Francisco, Operations Manager, Portugal
"Sessions with Leonor go far beyond trying to understand what triggered an issue. What feels most valuable is building the tools and inner resources to face those challenges when they return."
I started sessions with Leonor without any specific trigger. It wasn't because of heartbreak, loss, or disappointment. I didn't feel that anything was missing professionally, and personally, life was moving along as normally as possible. But often, that very sense of normality can be the issue. We get used to things, and fall into a kind of routine that is not necessarily physical, but psychological. And it was exactly in that space that Leonor came in.
Throughout the sessions, we explored different areas of my life, both personal and professional, from some of my earliest memories up to the present moment. This process helped me become more aware of myself and of the way I interpret the world around me.
Above all, we worked with goals, strategy, and focus. Through that, I learned to confront things instead of settling, to question more, and to stand my ground. And yet, all of this was done in a light way — not superficial, but with slowness, space, and room to think. One of my biggest difficulties was not knowing how to say no, which made my life feel like a constant rush. That was something we worked on and improved with each session.
As I learned to do things more calmly and, above all, to ask for help when needed, the results began to show, especially in the small things of daily life. Small changes that, in the end, have a much greater impact than we often imagine.
I was able not only to define career goals, but, even more importantly, strong>goals for my personal life. I learned to respect my own rhythm and to act when I feel the moment is right.
Sessions with Leonor go far beyond trying to understand what may have triggered a specific issue. That work is also part of the process, but what feels most valuable is building the tools and inner resources that allow us to face those challenges when they return, or even prevent them.
In the end, sessions with Leonor are, above all, an ongoing learning process about ourselves and about the way we choose to live our lives.

How I view this work
A grounded path back to your authentic self
Everything is connected
The emotional, spiritual, social, physical, and mental are interconnected. Wellbeing rises from alignment, not quick fixes or forced positivity. We work with the whole of you.
No grand promises. No potions.
Just a grounded, authentic journey that is uniquely yours. We embrace both the light and the shadow because real transformation requires honesty, not performance.
Real fulfilment comes from within
If you have been searching outside yourself for peace, happiness, or love, this is your wake-up call. The answers you have been looking for outside yourself have always been in you. I will guide you there.
Psychology meets spiritual depth
This work combines scientific psychological research with spiritual practices because freedom is not only cognitive. It is embodied, lived, and felt in the way you actually move through the world.
You are not broken
Our beliefs, behaviours, emotions, and perceptions are not fixed. They reflect how we interpret the world and they can change. Many of us were simply never taught how to navigate our own minds.
Inner exploration is for the brave
For those ready to take control, step into freedom, and stop running on autopilot. Not people looking for comfort in their patterns but people ready to break free.
Leonor, Inner Work Guide
I have studied & lived what I guide.
I am Leonor. Before studying psychology, I had a BSc in Economics, an MSc in Marketing, and years in the corporate world. I left it all to go back to school and that decision came from somewhere real.
I met depression when I was very young. I had a complicated relationship with alcohol and tobacco. A long habit of looking for answers in new cities, new plans, new versions of a life that still felt like something was missing. I was drawn to spiritual teachings and found something true in them, but I struggled to fully trust what I couldn't understand. I needed proof. I needed to know where the insights were coming from and why they worked. So after a long and honest decision process, I spent three years studying psychology and half a year studying political science at the University of Amsterdam. It was undoubtedly the hardest thing I have ever done.
I know what it is to not understand what is happening to you. I also know what it is to understand it completely and still not be able to stop. Both are their own kind of pain.
I am someone who feels the world deeply. And I had to learn how to be in it without escaping it.
That is what shaped the way I work. A psychology grounded in social and positive psychology, emotion, motivation, and behaviour change — merged with spiritual practice and lived experience. Not clinical therapt. No diagnisos. Not a formula. Deeply human, honest and practical, and reaching the places most approaches never get to.
In sessions, you will be truly met. Not observed. Not analysed. Met.
"We have been taught to look outside ourselves for every answer. The phone, the drink, the next trend. And without realising it, we give away our energy, our aliveness, our uniqueness. But your own knowing is still there, waiting. Everyone has the capacity to build a life that feels truly theirs. I have seen it too many times to doubt it."
TESTIMONIAL FROM Anna, Biologist, the Netherlands
"Leonor is the kind of guide we all need—incredibly complete, empathetic, and thoughtful in the way she approaches every topic. She leaves nothing out."
You can tell she's experienced and truly loves what she does. She genuinely tries to understand what I feel and how I think and behave before choosing the best approach for me. She's also incredibly perceptive when it comes to the emotions behind certain actions.
Even in the very first two sessions, she helped me practically and meaningfully with so many things, offering new perspectives even without knowing me that well yet. Everything she said resonated deeply — her insights and practical recommendations were deeply impactful for me.
I'm an overthinker and often jump from one topic to another, but that's never a problem for Leonor. .She's incredibly flexible and always finds my natural flow and what truly fits. With her, it felt like a puzzle piece falling perfectly into place.
I couldn't be happier or more grateful to have found her! I'm very much a perfectionist, and I tried several people before — but no one ever clicked the way she did.
Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend her and am absolutely certain that, whatever the path may be, she will be brilliant in guiding you through it.

A note on commitment. Most people don't stay in therapy long enough to see real results. That's why this programme is designed as a full journey, not a drop-in. I only work with people who are ready to do the work, show up consistently, and trust the process. Transformation is not linear, and there are no magic potions. But it is absolutely possible. That is what I am here for.
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." - Carl Jung
FAQs
Honest answers.
No. This is not clinical therapy, I am not a clinical psychologist and I do not offer clinical therapy or diagnosis. What I offer is a psychology-informed, lived-experience-rooted process of inner work. It draws on psychological frameworks, but goes beyond them into breathwork, mindset, spirituality, and real-world action. If you need clinical or psychiatric support, I would always encourage you to seek that first or in parallel.
I am an inner work guide with a background in psychology and my own lived experience of transformation. For some people, that combination reaches places that formal therapy alone does not.
Not at all. While some clients come with a complicated relationship with alcohol or other substances, many come simply because something feels off — they feel stuck, flat, disconnected, or lost. The work is the same: we look honestly at what is actually happening and what needs to shift.
That is one of the most common things I hear. It usually points to something specific: approaches that stay at the level of insight, analysis, and talking — but never reach the place where patterns actually live. This process is designed to go there. It is also not a system applied to everyone — it is built entirely around you, your patterns, and what is actually keeping you stuck. Many of the people I work with have tried a lot before finding this.
Some shifts happen fast — a reframe, a decision, a pattern interrupted. Others take more time. Real transformation is not a magic moment; it is a gradual, committed process. There are no shortcuts here. That is why I only work with people ready for the full journey — and why most people who do the work consistently see their lives genuinely change.
Each session is 75 minutes over video. We begin where you are — whatever is present that week — and move through it together. Sessions can include open conversation, reframing, breathwork, working directly on your Miro board, or practical planning. Every session ends with clear homework so the work continues in your actual daily life, not just in the session room.
If something in you is saying yes as you read this — that is usually the sign. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to be honest with yourself and willing to do the work. The discovery call is a free, no-pressure conversation where we can both sense whether this is the right fit, and the right moment.
There is still a part of you that knows
You are not meant to stay in this loop forever.
Life is not supposed to feel this disconnected. You are capable of another way. That part of you that is still hoping, that is the part that brought you here. Trust it.

You keep reaching for things outside yourself to feel better inside. It never works for long. Because the gap you are trying to fill can only be filled from within.
