Services that promote your Well-Being
SAGEmpower offers the following forms of support, anchored in scientific knowledge,
to help you achieve beneficial and lasting results:
Psychology, Coaching & Hypnotherapy Sessions
Psychology
It is a science that promotes well-being, emotional balance and mental health, as it supports the improvement or overcoming of emotional states and psychological disorders, with symptoms that negatively affect personal, professional, or social life. Examples include anxiety, phobias, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep disturbances, among others. Also, it provides support to those who aim to develop skills and create positive transformations.
The scientific study of how the human mind works helps us understand our unique characteristics (idiosyncrasies) and our biopsychosocial nature. It helps clarify the client’s current situation and facilitate positive changes in beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. These changes gradually open the door to an increasingly fulfilling reality and a general sense of well-being, with lasting positive effects.
Nurture your mind and your emotions. Find your inner balance.
By understanding the relationship between beliefs/thoughts, emotions/feelings, and behaviours, this guided process promotes client empowerment. It values the individual’s capacity to find appropriate solutions to their challenges and to implement changes towards psychological well-being.
To maximise the beneficial effects of psychology sessions, I use cognitive-behavioural therapy as well as methods and techniques from other psychological approaches. These include Positive Psychology, Psychological Coaching, Active Psychotherapies, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and the Humanistic, Constructivist, and Person-Centred approaches.
Coaching
Psychological Coaching is a specialised area within Psychology, which does not constitute psychotherapy and is practised exclusively by Psychologists. It is a methodology that promotes well-being by supporting the client in making positive changes. The process begins with defining the client’s goals and understanding the current reality. From there, action is planned and carried out to achieve and sustain those goals. To support this journey of growth and achievement, the approach also focuses on identifying and developing valuable skills and internal resources.

Hypnotherapy
It’s a therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis as a tool to promote positive change in the client’s life. The hypnotic trance is a natural state of deep relaxation and focused attention, similar to what we experience when we are completely absorbed in a film or a thought. This expanded state of awareness allows access to the unconscious mind, where many of our beliefs, automatic patterns, memories, and emotions are stored, all of which influence our behaviour and overall well-being. Through this process, it becomes possible to release inner blocks and trigger deep, lasting positive transformations. Throughout the session, the person remains fully conscious, safe and in control of their experience.
Positive change starts from within.
SAGEmpower offers Clinical and Regressive Hypnotherapy sessions. Clinical Hypnotherapy is present-focused and goal-oriented and it is applied to relieve symptoms and change mental or behavioural patterns. Regressive Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, aims to access past memories that may be at the root of current blocks, symptoms, or repetitive patterns. The goal is to reduce or eliminate these through understanding, reframing, and releasing emotions or beliefs associated with those memories, which continue to influence the person’s present life on an unconscious level. Regression is a safe, guided process, and only memories that the mind is ready to explore will emerge.
Indications and Session Frequency:
Hypnotherapy helps individuals access their often-dormant internal resources and regain emotional balance. It typically requires 4 to 6 sessions, every three weeks, though this may vary depending on the unique needs of each case. This brief therapy is particularly helpful in addressing anxiety and stress, depression, phobias and fears, sadness, grief and trauma, improving self-confidence, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, preparation for exams, presentations or professional challenges.
Note: Hypnotherapy is a valuable tool for strengthening internal resources and supporting emotional and personal development. It can be used as a complementary approach, but does not replace medical or psychological care when such support is required.
The sessions (psychology, coaching and hypnotherapy) are online, in English or Portuguese, via video call on a secure platform, making it possible to establish contact from anywhere in the world. When you schedule your session, you will receive a link to access the video call; simply click it to join at the scheduled date and time.

Leadership and Organisational Development
Executive Coaching helps leaders and professionals develop new skills and knowledge to drive executive and organisational change. This process supports the creation of healthier, more productive and more fulfilling workplaces.
Through an initial session with the client, we identify individual needs, goals and objectives, and assess the current professional reality. Based on this analysis, we design a personalised action plan, which is implemented and adjusted when necessary to ensure continuous improvement and the achievement of desired outcomes.
A growing body of scientific research shows that job satisfaction/happiness is not only linked to better individual and collective health and wellbeing, but is also highly profitable for organisations.
Job Satisfaction May Lead to Increased Productivity and Profit for Companies.
It is also linked to higher performance, greater efficiency, increased creativity, innovative solutions, and lower absenteeism. Therefore, to achieve goals and objectives and create lasting positive change in yourself, your team, and your organisation/company, it may be vital to strengthen key skills such as:
Leadership
Organisation and strategic planning
Motivation and teamwork
Attraction and retention of talent
Time and stress management
Conflict and problem solving
Emotional intelligence
Resilience to deal with challenges, with focus and balance
Decision-making with clarity and alignment with your values and vision
Assertiveness and impactful communication
Continuous training and development
These and other skills have a direct impact on organisational performance, productivity and job satisfaction. That is why investing in this improvement process is so important, as it leads to lasting positive transformation, with minimal cost and maximum impact.
