Vanessa Ressurreição

Hello, I’m Vanessa, a licensed psychologist originally from Portugal.
Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from University of Coimbra, specialising in Cognitive-Behavioural Interventions for Psychological Disorders and Health.

After gaining valuable experience in Portugal, I relocated to Amsterdam in 2023, where I contributed to Dutch specialised mental health services. Now, I'm happy to bring my expertise to private practice.

I value a compassionate and tailored approach to each person's unique set of needs and goals. It's important to me that my clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate this journey.

I have experience working with individuals facing a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders, emotional distress, relationship challenges and life adjustments and transitions.

PSYCHOLOGIST

Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Schema Therapy

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

Mindfulness

Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. By understanding this, you can break free from negative patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and acting.

These are a collection of evidence-based tools I’ve carefully chosen to adapt to your unique needs and help you move forward.

If you’ve noticed recurring challenges in your relationships or emotions, we’ll uncover the deeper patterns that may be influencing you. By understanding these, you can start healing old wounds and change those patterns for good.

Life isn’t always easy, and some thoughts and feelings can be tough to face. In ACT, we work on accepting those difficult emotions while focusing on what truly matters to you, so you can live a life aligned with your values.

In our work together, I’ll help you develop the practice of mindfulness—learning how to be fully present in the moment. This simple yet powerful skill can reduce stress, help you manage your emotions more effectively, and bring greater clarity when making decisions.
