My therapy services
General information regarding my services:
I work with individuals, couples and families, all of my services are offered in my office located in Madrid (Spain) or online worldwide. I have many clients from all over the world and I always try and work through the time difference so as to be able to cater for anyone who maybe interested in my services.
I currently work with:
-Late-teens/young adults (17 and upwards)
-Adults
During my years as a therapist I have worked with people from all over, regardless of their gender, sexuality or preference, ethnicity and nationality. I am totally open and friendly to LGTBQ+, I feel that who you are should never be an impediment to being able to access therapy. We are after all human beings and should all be treated with the same respect regardless of our beliefs, colour or sexuality.
I work with a network of other mental health professionals so if need be I can refer you to other specialists such as child therapists, psychiatrists or speech therapists. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to pass on their details.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Most people come to individual therapy with a specific issue, such as:
Anxiety
Depression
Phobias
Stress
Panic attacks etc.
Interpersonal relationships
Self esteem
Most of these problems are a symptom of an underlying issue that comes most likely from the past, which needs to be addressed as a way of being able to move forward. I feel that the most important relationship we need to build on is the one we have with ourselves, if we relate to ourselves in a healthy and respectful way, it’s going to be a lot easier to establish relationships with others and live life to the full, making all the right decisions for ourselves.
I have recently completed the training for EMDR therapy so I am now incorporating it into my work. I have seen that EMDR is such a powerful tool to help heal from trauma and past experiences and my clients have already seen the immediate benefits. It is helping greatly in depression, anxiety (as well as many other mental health issues) and the re processing of childhood and adult experiences.
I do often like to take a look at a clients background as a way of having a clearer understanding of their personal and family history. Being to be able to delve into our past gives us so many pointers on how we´ve developed specific dynamics and behavioral patterns and if they are traumatic events then it is really important to be able to work on them so as heal and to be able to move on.
COUPLES THERAPY
If you find you are carrying out the same patterns and ways of conflict resolution over and over again and can’t seem to find common ground then it might be a good time to turn to couples therapy. Having a third person to help you discover the underlying issues in your arguments and disagreements in a safe space is really helpful and can allow you to communicate in a more healthy way that suits both parties. Many of the problems that bring couples into my practice are the following:
Communication
Sexual disfunction or lack of libido
Jealousy
Infidelity
Disagreemets on parenting
Cultural differences and each partners family of origin
Managing life transitions
Divorce/separation
FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is such a great tool when family dynamics are not working and the same conflicts are constantly arising. Any family members can come to family therapy: parents, children, grandparents and any person who lives with the family or is connected to the family and is considered as part of the system. The most common problems that push families to seek therapy are:
Communication problems
Dysfunctional relationship patterns
Mediation between parents and their children
Grief (mental and physical illness, loss etc)
Separation/divorce and the impact on the children
Cultural differences
Life transitions (adoption, foster care, retirement, change in country of residence etc).
