TRANSFORMATION STORIES

“This man has changed my life, he has helped me to not only fix my inner issues but also to strive to be the best version of myself and to be great and not settle for average.
I´m a strong believer that Mental Health should not be a taboo subject. If you´ve got some issues going on in your head, and/or you simply want to increase by A LOT your chances of success in this life, just reach out to him.”
“Our coaching sessions have been nothing short of transformational. Miguel has been instrumental in helping me manage stress, set a clear direction in life, align with my purpose and mission, and cultivate a state of peace. Throughout our time together, Miguel consistently asked insightful questions that challenged me to think deeply and reach meaningful insights. His patience and understanding created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. Thanks to Miguel, I have learned numerous strategies and techniques that I am excited to add to my life toolbox. These new skills have empowered me to lead a happier and more fulfilled life. I am profoundly thankful for this journey and the positive changes it has brought to my life. His guidance has been invaluable, and I highly recommend his coaching to anyone looking to make significant life improvements.”
“Dr. Miguel Gonçalves has been my Psychologist between September 2016 and July 2017, and we held about 50 Psychotherapy sessions. During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic we also had some sessions (about 5), to help me to cope with the uncertain times.
During this period I started my own company, which was a very stressful time, with doubts and commitment issues. I also lost my mother (Alzheimer’s) and ended a difficult relationship.
During this period working together, Miguel Gonçalves, was efficient and the work performed was of the highest professional standards.
I have no hesitation in recommending Miguel Gonçalves to any company where his professional skills are required as he has all the attributes required to work at the highest level within the industry.”
“Being a football player in the first division of the Portuguese championship, and as our championship is a very competitive one, I often dealt with issues of anxiety and tension. Since working with Miguel, I have improved not only my performance and confidence as a football player, but also my communication skills, managing ability in interpersonal relationships and my ability to deal with the tension and stress related to the professional sport of competition.”
“Since first session that we had, Dr. Miguel made me feel like “home”.
Interpersonal skills, professionalism, knowledge and the recognition of the needs of others are one of the words and values that can describe his work.
Dr. Miguel “deconstruct” me and had the capacity to rebuild my beliefs. He provided me with lot of resources to make my life easier, showed me the way to face life with courage and good spirit and above all, showed my that I am capable and strong enough to deal with various challenges in my personal life and career.
I am confident that he will be an asset to any company that decides to have his contribution and I recommend him without reservation as Psychologist and a Coach.”
“Dr. Miguel Gonçalves was first recommended to me around 2004, becoming my psychologist for over a year. During that period, Dr. Miguel played a major role in extricating me from a deep depression, at a pivotal moment of my life; a feat I could not have accomplished by myself. It became very clear to me from those early days, how technically skilled and competent Dr. Miguel was – skills bound only to increase as he would go on to acquire more experience – and so he remains my therapist and coach to this day, during which Dr. Miguel has always shown a very high level of professionalism and commitment, and a knowledge and competence as a Clinical Psychologist and a Coach that has proven invaluable.”
“I ́m a professional football player for a 1st division team in Portugal. This year I struggled with insecurities and anxiety caused by lack of playing time and lack of trust in my abilities. That ́s when I found Miguel. Since then, I’ve noticed substantial improvements, not only in football, but also in my personal life. I ́ve learnt to trust myself more and regained joy in playing football. In my opinion, in my line of work, being mentally balanced is as important as being physically fit, and if it weren’t for Miguel I would have not been able to overcome the challenges I endured this year.”
“Miguel helped me to have a brighter image of myself and see how fears can modify the reality and perception of myself. His kind and positive attitude opened a door to different opportunities, that my mind couldn’t see. He taught me to trust life more than I used to do and that planted a different type of seed within me. I appreciated his funny side and how I felt understood in my unconventional way of thinking. Thank you for the patience and support.”
“While going through big changes in my personal life and at work, Coach Miguel has been pretty much my North Star. I have to admit I didn´t believe that coaching would give me anything I couldn´t get on my own, but after starting to work with Miguel, I understand how great of an investment it is. Miguel´s decades of experience as a Psychologist make the whole experience very different.
In the last 3 months I´ve learned more about myself and gained more “life tools” than in the previous 3 years combined. It´s all about being in a non-judgmental (but non-coddled either!) environment where you´re understood and your negative thought patterns are nudged in the right direction.
This is extremely hard to do on your own, regardless of how many self-development books you read (I should Know – I´ve read most).”
