Go from feeling stuck
to finally feeling free.
A 4-month, psychology-informed 1:1 journey for those who know something needs to change. Together we turn that knowing into action, rebuild your self-trust, and create an aligned, calm and free life.
Does this sound familiar?
"My mind won't stop, and I feel lost. Some days I freeze, others I'm nervous"
You keep telling yourself this will pass, some weeks it does. Then it comes back, and you're tired of carrying it alone.
"I've done therapy, read the books, tried it all. Yet, it doesn't get better"
You know your patterns. Now you want to turn insight into action, and move toward your purpose and happiness.
"My work, relationships, phone, or alcohol have too much power over my life."
You want to stop, but when you're tired, stressed, lonely, or bored, you reach for it anyway, as if on autopilot.
"I know what I need to change, but every time I get close, I freeze."
You know there is more to life. You have even started planning a different reality. But the comfort zone feels safe, the leap feels reckless, so you stay.
"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'm done saying yes to everyone
but myself."
You spent years being the good one. Adapting, pleasing, putting yourself last. Now you want your voice back, your boundaries, and to live on your own terms.
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."
The shift this 1:1 Journey brings you
Where you are
- You know something needs to change, but you do not know how to change it
- 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 are tired of digging through the past and still ending up in the same place
- You look fine from the outside, but inside you feel stuck, flat, or misaligned
Where this takes you
- You start trusting your own judgment again, instead of searching outside yourself
- You notice the pull before it takes over, and you choose differently
- You find peace in your own company, without reaching for your phone, a drink, or a scroll
- You catch the loop while you are in it, instead of only seeing it afterward
- You get clarity about what your days look like, and start spending them on what matters
- You focus on what you do today, and watch your present actually change
- You feel steady on the inside, not just fine on the outside
This journey isn't about becoming someone else, or only digging into your past. It's about breaking the patterns that keep you disconnected from yourself, rebuilding self-trust, and building a life that's honest, free, and still fully ambitious, yours.

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.
The truth is, thanks to an inner strength I was no longer aware of, I made it. We did it! Me and Leonor, we did it! I met Leonor by chance and from the very first time we spoke, I felt an unexpected empathy like I'd never felt with many other therapists (believe me, I've been there).
We started our 1:1 Sessions based on two keywords:
Honesty: Never hide yourself or feel ashamed of yourself.
Trust: Let yourself be guided by truly trusting the process.
And just like that, in only 6 Sessions my life changed completely.I freed myself from addiction. After that, we've been walking side by side, but before I even realize it, Leo is always one step ahead, guiding me and helping me rebuild myself safely.
Over the past year, everything has been changing. I've become an early bird, choosing to watch the sunrise instead of wishing for the end of the day, when I pretended I couldn't see my own shame in the darkness.
Since then, my days have been full. Full of life and joy.I also joined the myalfazema Summer Retreat in Orada last year. What a wonderful surprise! I truly let myself be led into the Wabi Sabi concept, just as proposed. I'm not a spiritual person, but even the silence spoke to me during those days—and it still resonates.Immediately afterwards, I began a whole new series of paintings, titled "Finding Balance in Imperfection".Nine months of work. More than 70 canvases painted. A return to reality.
Life is happening and I want to ride it. I've picked up my painting right where I left off, but with renewed strength and drive. At the same time, I've been opening up and growing closer to people, and suddenly I'm full of new projects! Exhibitions, interactive events... you name it!
I'm still in 1:1 Sessions.It's my choice.Leonor's knowledge is increasingly focused on results, aiming for a greater goal: to keep restoring my self-confidence and regaining my freedom.
I'm grateful for this amazing journey, every day. The path to get here was tough, but a great sense of humor along the way works wonders 🙂
Thank you, Leonor. You're good! I'm back!!!And we're just getting started.
Love,
Joana
The 4 pillars that guide your journey
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 ourselves for every answer: the expert, the phone, the next trend. You give your power away even when you already know what's right for you. You can build a life that feels truly yours, 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.
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. Sometimes I didn't understand what was happening to me. Other times I understood exactly what was happening and still couldn't feel better.
That search led me everywhere. First to spiritual teachings. Then to psychology, because I needed to understand human nature, why change happens, why people stay stuck, and what actually creates a happy life. So, at 27 I went back to school and 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 just the individual, but the world we live in.
Earlier in my life, I completed a BSc in Economics, an MSc in Marketing, and spent years in the corporate world. That chapter gave me a lot, but I left to pursue the work I knew I was meant to do.
On my own journey of healing and finding myself, I kept encountering extremes. Some places told me to slow down, do less, and let go, as if the answer was to switch myself off and become a passenger in my own life. Others pushed the opposite: optimise everything, analyse endlessly, and do more. I needed rest. That was true. But I am also driven to build. My head is full of ideas, and shutting that down only took me further away from my nature. I discovered that healing was about learning how to channel my drive in a way that felt aligned instead of exhausting. Rest and action are part of the same cycle.
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 a more loving, abundant, and free life.
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 highly recommend her and am absolutely certain that, whatever the path may be, she will be brilliant in guiding you through it."

FAQs
Different phases of life need different kinds of help. Therapy and self-help often give you the understanding. This work picks up from there, focused on what you do today, not just on your past and reasons behind the patterns. If you're ready to actually live differently, this work is built for that.
This is not clinical therapy, and I am not a clinical psychologist. This is psychology-informed inner work for people who want more self-trust, clarity, freedom, and real-life change. If you need 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.
Absolutely, we can accommodate breaks in the program schedule to align with your travel or busy periods.
The sessions are designed as a journey where each one builds on the last. A one-off can offer a moment of clarity, but it can't hold the thread of your transformation the way a full process does. What I offer is a 10-session program.
That said, the connection between us matters more than anything, and you need to feel that before committing that is why we start with a free discovery call.
Each session is 75 minutes, online. We talk through what happened since we last met, what came up, what felt hard, what shifted. Then we go deeper, through conversation, reframing, or breathing work, whatever the moment calls for. You always leave with something specific to do differently before we meet again.
Some shifts happen fast, a reframe, a decision, a pattern you finally interrupt. Others take longer. This work moves at the pace of real change, not a fixed timeline. That is why I only work with people ready for the full journey, and why most people who stay with it consistently see their lives genuinely change.
Ideally the first four sessions are weekly. After that the remaining six sessions are spaced every two to three weeks. But we can adapt to your schedule.
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.
Yes, I do offer discounts!

You are not meant to
stay in this loop forever.
Life is not supposed to feel this disconnected. You are capable of living 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.
