Welcome

I’m Ana Batista — psychologist, writer, and mother — attuned to the quiet shifts beneath the surface of everyday life.

This space is a collection of field notes: reflections drawn from therapy rooms, life between cultures, and the tender art of becoming. You’ll find writings on resilience, identity, calm, ambition, anxiety, and the meaning of enough — all filtered through the lens of someone trained to listen for the unsaid.

I live between languages and geographies — Portugal, Sweden, now Switzerland — and my work weaves together cognitive neuroscience, narrative therapy, and soulfulness.
This is not self-help. It’s an invitation to re-author your inner story, one page at a time.

Whether you're navigating change, seeking calm, or simply craving depth in a noisy world —
you belong here.
