Couples therapy in English, wherever you both are

Couples we often help

• Intercultural couples: different languages, families, expectations about money, religion or raising children. Read more.
• The partner who followed: one career moved, the other paused, and resentment is building. Read more.
• New parents abroad, without family nearby to help.
• "Stay or go home?" when you can't agree where to build your life.
• Communication and constant arguments, distance, trust, or after an affair.

Prices

You receive an invoice for every session. Public health insurance rarely covers couples therapy; some international expat plans do, against an invoice.

How it works

1. Book a first session in the booking calendar. You both receive the video link.
2. Join together from home, on one device.
3. In the first session, the psychologist hears both sides and proposes a plan.
4. Most couples meet every week.

All times in the calendar are Lisbon time: the same as Dublin and London, one hour behind Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels.

Is this legal?

Yes. Lon Clinic's psychologists licensed by the Portuguese Board of Psychologists (EU), seeing clients online from Portugal. Under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, telemedicine is provided in the Member State where the provider is established, which for us is Portugal. More on the rules.

When couples therapy is not the right first step

If there is violence, threats or fear in the relationship, couples therapy can make things less safe. We'll help you find individual support instead. In an emergency, call 112 anywhere in the EU.

In a crisis

Online therapy is not an emergency service. If either of you is in danger, call 112, the emergency number everywhere in the EU.
