At Psychotherapy Lisbon, we highly prioritize continuous professional development. Therefore, we actively participate in various advanced therapeutic training, psychotherapy schools, and specialized courses.
We are proud to announce a major achievement: our psychotherapist, Piotr Szmyt, has completed a three-year Core Training in ISTDP! This significant accomplishment makes him a member of the International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association (IEDTA).
Piotr’s path to this milestone was extensive. First, he attended four years of psychoanalytic training in Portugal. Then, his development continued with a three-year ISTDP training in Berlin, supervised by Josette ten Have-de Labije. Crucially, Josette is a highly respected psychotherapist with over 50 years of experience. She conducts training globally and accredits teachers and supervisors in the ISTDP approach.

What truly distinguishes ISTDP therapists? It is, primarily, a precise, structured approach to therapeutic work. Furthermore, we record our sessions to ensure high quality. Consequently, we can repeatedly review the footage later. This process helps us evaluate the effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship and plan possible interventions for future sessions.
