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.
In a crisis
Online therapy is not an emergency service. If you are in danger, call 112, the emergency number everywhere in the EU. Your city page lists local helplines.
Frequently asked questions
Is online therapy from another EU country legal?
Yes. Under EU Directive 2011/24/EU on cross-border healthcare, care given by telemedicine is provided in the Member State where the provider is established. Our psychologists are licensed by the Portuguese Board of Psychologists and see clients online from Portugal, where Lon Clinic is registered with the health regulator (ERS 45475).
Are the psychologists native English speakers?

How soon can I start?
There are usually openings in the same week. The calendar shows live availability before you book.
Does online therapy work as well as in person?
For anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, research shows results similar to in-person therapy, as long as you have a stable connection and a private space.
Will my insurance pay?

Is it confidential?
