Hi! My name is Kris and I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in Algarve, Portugal, offering online, walk & talk and face to face counselling sessions.
“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside —
remembering all the times you’ve felt that way”
― Charles Bukowski
I am a genuinely passionate therapist promoting psychological principles with down to earth practical techniques clients can use everyday. I offer face to face, nature and beach walks, ‘face to face’ talk therapy and online consultation. For those seeking less commitment WhatsApp audio and messaging is also available.
I am a Danish/American born in Brussels, spending the last 12 years in Portugal and having explored life in Ukraine, Romania, England, Denmark, Spain, France and the U.S. My qualifications are a Masters of Science in Counselling Psychology.
My therapy practice is based mainly on authentic relationships. I work with a wide variety of digital nomads, CEO’s & entrepreneurs, adolescents, creatives, retirees and those struggling with physical illness. My psychological practice is there to build a foundation of meaning and support sustainable careers and life patterns. All in all it’s about being honest and learning how to collaborate better with ourselves.
I very much look forward to meeting and talking with you.
