Go from feeling stuck to breaking the cycle and gain clarity
Liberating You is a 3-month journey for those who want to reclaim their freedom
from destructive habits and the noise of daily life, and live their full potential.
Do you recognise yourself here?
"I keep doing things I said I wouldn't do. I don't trust myself right now."
You can see the pattern clearly. And every time it happens again, you feel less control over your own life.
"I've done the therapy, read the books, tried it all. And I still can't change."
You know your patterns. Now you want to turn insight into action, and move toward your purpose and happiness.
"My phone, alcohol, or work have too much power over my life."
You want to stop, but when you’re tired, stressed, lonely, or bored, you go back to it, as if automatically.
"I look fine on the outside. But inside something feels flat, numb, stuck."
You are functioning, but something feels off. Your life works on paper, but you keep thinking, “is this it?”
"Life is passing. I want to build something more meaningful with my life."
You do not want five more years of the same life. You want your time and energy to go into something meaningful.
"I just want to feel okay being me. Without always having to fight for it."
You are tired of overthinking who you are, what you should do, and who you should be by now. You just want to feel at peace.
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!"
If wanting things to be different is so real, why does changing feel impossibly hard?
I needed to know the answer too. I spent years trying to understand it. What I found was not a motivation problem, it was something much bigger.
The intention-action gap
Knowing what you want to do and actually doing it are two different things. Awareness can explain the pattern, but it does not automatically break it. Research shows that change is more likely when intention is translated into a clear structure.
/ Gollwitzer & Sheeran, Annual Review of Psychology, 2025
the motivation mismatch
Many people try to change from pressure, shame, or fear, and then wonder why it does not last. Research shows that change is more sustainable when it is connected to your own values, choice, and goals.
/ Ryan & Deci, 2000 — self-determination theory
the self-trust erosion
Every broken promise to yourself slowly erodes your belief in your own capacity to act. Research on self-efficacy shows that change becomes more possible when people rebuild the belief that they can act, follow through, and influence their own behaviour.
/ Bandura, 1977 — Self-efficacy Theory
the autopilot problem
So much of what we do runs on cues, repetition, and emotion, which is why knowing better does not always mean doing differently. Research on habit shows that repeated behaviours can become automatic, so we repeat them before a deliberate choice.
/ Wood & Rünger, 2016 — habit and automatic behaviour
What Liberating You shifts
Where you are
- You know something needs to change, but you do not know how to move
- You are tired of looking outside yourself for answers, relief, or direction
- Your phone, alcohol, work, shopping, or other escapes are taking more from you than you want
- You keep scrolling, numbing, procrastinating, overworking, or going back to the same loop
- Your energy is going everywhere except the life you actually want
- You look fine from the outside, but inside you feel stuck, flat, or misaligned
Where this takes you
- You take your power back from the habits and patterns running your life
- You rebuild self-trust through real daily choices, not just insight
- You feel clearer about what you want, what matters, and what needs to change
- You create stronger boundaries with your time, energy, and attention
- You start using your life for something that actually feels meaningful to you
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.
the myalfazema method
Every session is built around you and where you are. Together, we move through a process that turns insight into lived change, helping you understand the pattern, shift your relationship to it, and practise new choices in real life. This is not a rigid formula, it is a grounded 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.
TESTIMONIAL FROM Francisco, Operations Manager, Portugal
"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.
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 when I feel it is necessary. And yet, all of this was done in a light way. And when I say light, I do not mean superficial, but rather 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, goals for my personal life. I learned to respect my own rhythm and to act when I feel the moment is right.
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."- Francisco

The 4 pillars that guide your inner work
01.
You are not set in stone
Your beliefs, perceptions, and behaviours were learned and conditioned over time. You are not a fixed being, you are someone who can question, reshape, and change what no longer serves you.
02.
Everything is connected
The emotional, spiritual, social, physical, and mental are all connected. Wellbeing comes from alignment, not from working on one part of yourself in isolation. We work with the whole of you.
03.
Fulfilment comes from within
If you have been searching outside yourself for peace, happiness, or love, this work brings you back to the real source. From there, you can connect more deeply with life, people, and the world around you.
04.
No magic potions.
This is not a mystical solution or a grand promise. It is a grounded, honest journey through both the light and the shadow. The work asks for courage, commitment, and practice,.
We've been taught to look outside for every answer. The phone, the drink, the next trend. Without realising it, we give our power away. But your own knowing is still there, waiting. Everyone has the capacity to build a life that feels truly theirs. I've seen it too many times to doubt it.
Hey, I am Leo
I know what it feels like to be doing life “right” and still feel empty inside. Before psychology, I did a BSc in Economics, an MSc in Marketing, and years in the corporate world. That chapter gave me a lot, but I left to follow the work I knew I was meant to do.
I met depression young. I had a complicated relationship with alcohol. I kept looking for answers in new cities, new jobs, new friends, and new versions of myself.
That taught me something I now see in so many people: sometimes you do not understand what is happening to you, and sometimes you understand it completely and still cannot stop. Both can make you feel lost and send you back into the same loop, looking for more advice, another wellness trend, or another plan you abandon after three days.
My desire to feel better led me first to spiritual teachings, but I also needed the science. I needed to understand why change happens, why people stay stuck, and how we actually become free.
So I studied psychology at the University of Amsterdam, with a focus on social psychology, emotion, motivation, and behaviour change. I also studied political science, because I have always wanted to understand not only the individual, but the world around us.
Now, I bring together psychology, spiritual practice, and lived experience. This is not clinical therapy, and these sessions do not replace mental health diagnosis or treatment. My approach focuses on empowering you, so you can step into the loving, abundant, free life you were always meant to live.
TESTIMONIAL FROM Anna, Biologist, the Netherlands
"Leonor is the kind of therapist 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 highly recommend her and am absolutely certain that, whatever the path may be, she will be brilliant in guiding you through it."

FAQs
No. This is not clinical therapy, and I am not a clinical psychologist. I do not diagnose or treat mental illness. This is psychology-informed inner work for people who want more self-trust, clarity, freedom, and real-life change. If you need clinical or psychiatric support, I would always encourage you to seek that first or alongside this work.
No. Some clients come with alcohol, tobacco, phone use, or other habits they want to change. Others come because they feel stuck, disconnected, flat, or unsure of their direction. The work follows the same root: we look honestly at what is happening and what needs to shift.
Many people who come here have already tried a lot. They understand their patterns, but still feel stuck in them. This work is different because we do not stay only in insight or analysis. We focus on what is happening in your real life, what is keeping you stuck, and what needs to change in how you think, choose, act, and relate to yourself.
Some shifts happen fast such as 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 of the 10 sessions is 75 minutes online. We start with where you are and what feels most present. Sessions can include honest conversation, reframing, breathing, work on your Miro board, or practical planning. We always end with something clear to take into your real life.
If something in you is saying yes as you read this, that is usually a sign. You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to be honest with yourself and willing to do the work. The discovery call is free and helps us see if this is the right fit and the right moment.
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.
