Therapy in English

A therapeutic space in English with cultural awareness

Starting therapy in a second language can feel vulnerable. Language is not only a tool for communication — it is also a place where emotions, memories and identity are shaped.

Living between cultures can bring richness — but also complexity. Questions about identity, home, belonging, difference or adaptation often emerge.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. I understand emotional difficulties not only as symptoms, but as meaningful expressions of one’s relational and subjective experience.

Cultural background is not treated as an anecdotal detail, but as an essential part of the person’s story. Therapy offers a space where these layers can be explored with curiosity, respect and depth.

I offer psychotherapy in English for adults and young adults who wish to explore their inner world in a language that feels natural to them.

Whether you are living in Spain, abroad, or moving between cultures, therapy can become a stable and reflective space where you can pause, think and reconnect with yourself.

Who is it for?

  • Expatriates living in Spain
  • International students or young professionals.
  • Individuals navigating life transitions
  • People who feel more comfortable expressing emotions in English
  • Clients seeking a culturally sensitive therapeutic space

I have worked with individuals from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities, and I am attentive to how cultural context shapes identity, belonging, relationships and expectations. I have also lived outside of my country, including a period in Canada, which allowed me to personally experiencia what It means to adapt to a different culture, language and social environment.

Living abroad can be enriching, but it can also bring moments of loneliness and a sense of being “in between” worlds. Having gone through that experience myself helps me approach these processes with greater sensitivity and understanding.

Therapy can become a place where these transitions are explored with care — a space to reflect on belonging, identity and the emotional impact of living between cultures.

Most frequent questions and answers

Each process is different. I do not work with a fixed number of sessions or brief interventions focused solely on symptom relief. The duration depends on what each person needs and the life stage they are going through. Sometimes deep understanding requires time, and that time is part of the therapeutic work.

Sessions are usually held weekly, as continuity supports both the process and the therapeutic relationship. However, frequency can be discussed and adapted depending on each individual situation.

There is no need to come prepared. Therapy is a space where we can think together about whatever emerges, including silence. Not knowing what to say can also be part of the process and may become something meaningful to explore.

Yes. The therapeutic space is protected by professional confidentiality and ethical commitment. Confidentiality is a fundamental basis for the process to develop safely and with trust.

No. Many people seek therapy because something does not quite feel right, even if they cannot clearly define it. Therapy is not reserved only for extreme situations; it can also be a space for self-understanding and navigating life transitions.

That is completely understandable. Beginning a therapeutic process involves trust and commitment. You are welcome to write without obligation to ask questions and explore whether this space might be right for you.
