English speaking therapy

I provide psychotherapy services in English for adults, couples and families in Madrid as a licensed clinical psychologist. I have studied and worked in the United States where I specialized in couples and Family Therapy and I have been practicing in English in Spain for the past ten years working with people from seven different countries. Although English is not my native language, I have never found it to be an issue working effectively in this language. Having myself lived in 4 different countries (Ireland and the United States among others), I empathize specially with people in the same situation facing the ups and downs of the nomad life.

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a clinical treatment that aims at helping alleviate or eliminate symptoms and enhance personal self-knowledge providing the patient with healthy coping skills. The therapist and the patient agree on a series of therapeutic goals and work together in order to achieve them.
