Age

I am Katja Gonçalves, and I focus on sensitive and often unspoken challenges that are rarely addressed openly. I aim to create a space where everything can be said – without shame, without taboos. Especially when it comes to topics that are difficult to talk about, I support individuals in finding words and discovering solutions.

Areas of Expertise

Addictive behaviour

Through my solid training and ongoing research in addiction therapy, I offer well-founded, individualized approaches that pave the way to an autonomous and fulfilling life.

Partnership and sexuality

Relationships and sexuality can be some of the most beautiful things in life. But what happens when these very topics create problems? In such moments, a psychologist can be a valuable support.
