About Algarve Wellness
Algarve Wellness provides a transformative experience for clients looking to increase their longevity, heal from mental health challenges, or recover from addiction. Dedicated to promoting overall wellness, their approach extends beyond therapy for the mind, teaching clients how to live a balanced life.

Their team then delivers customised care with an emphasis on daily individual therapy using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
