Pia Hylén Psychologist

Pia Hylén Psychologist English-speaking psychologist and psychoanalyst in greater Lisbon area, Setúbal and Azeitão. On-line and in vivo.

Helping expats, nomads, English and French speakers with anxiety, depression or burnout symptons - adapting to a new culture and lifestyles. I’m a psychologist trained at UC Berkeley, University of Copenhagen, Cornell Medical Center, and École de la Cause Freudienne, Paris. I specialize in helping people clarify their emotions and transform the way they connect with others. Whether you're facing life challenges, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking to understand yourself better, therapy provides a space to gain clarity and develop solutions. In therapy, we’ll examine issues together, looking at specific elements while considering the bigger picture. My approach supports you in bridging the gap between your thoughts and emotions, integrating these parts to create a more harmonious, authentic self. If you’re ready to explore change, I’m here to help.

If something takes less than two minutes, do it right away.
Don’t leave it for “later”—that’s usually just a trick of the mind.
Each small action gives you a tiny sense of mastery and lifts your mood.
Do a few of these and you’ll feel surprisingly better about yourself.

Turn off the noise for a moment. Close your eyes, breathe, and let yourself drift toward that place where the I loosens its grip. Follow the murmur of your desire—not the demands of the Other—and let your soul wander where it needs to go. In this small pause, allow yourself to touch the part of you that refuses domestication: your free, divided, living subjectivity. 🌬️✨

Each day, write three moments that made you feel alive — not merely “happy,” but touched by something of your desire. Then, note what you might do tomorrow to follow that thread further. This is not about chasing satisfaction, but about tracing where your desire speaks. In writing, you encounter the subject you are becoming.

When you wake up, the world is already speaking.
Open the window — feel the air that reminds you you’re part of something larger than yourself.
You don’t create the day; the day creates you, calls you into being.
Let yourself be there, in that call — not trying to control, just to be.
Stay with what comes, and let desire move you toward life.

Do you feel you’re the one who must hold everything together in your relationship?
When you over-function, you unconsciously take the place of the one who “knows” and “does".
To step out of this trap is not to withdraw love, but to return responsibility to where it belongs. Remove the hat of the one-who-knows, and instead address your desire: “These are things that need to be done — how do you want to take part in them?”
A relationship breathes when each partner can meet their own lack, not when one covers it for both.

Do you feel like you’re the one holding the whole relationship together?
It’s easy to slip into the role of the martyr — believing love means giving until there’s nothing left.
But sometimes, that giving hides a wish to fill the Other’s lack — to be what completes them.
The truth is, their desire isn’t yours to carry or control.
Maybe your exhaustion is a sign that it’s time to step back and let the Other’s desire be their own.
Advice: Try giving from your desire, not from guilt or duty — that’s where real connection begins.

If you notice that you keep getting stuck in the same kind of dynamic with your partner, you’re not alone. We all have our own way of getting caught in a familiar pattern — a way of loving and suffering that repeats itself. I’ll describe a few of these recurring positions, so you might start to see which one feels familiar to you. I will help you se the logic behind your pattern, something new becomes possible — this insight can help fix yourself by understanding what keeps you there and giving you alternative options.

Making friends as an expat often feels like rehearsing a script written by someone else — polite introductions, small talk, and the quiet anxiety of wanting to belong. But perhaps friendship begins where this performance falters. When you dare to speak from the place of your own lack, rather than your image, something real can emerge. The Lacanian lesson here is that truth is never in the mask, but in the crack where it slips. So, instead of perfecting your presentation, let yourself be encountered — not as the Other you think they expect, but as the subject you are still discovering.
