A warm, grounded space for individual therapy — in person in Barcelona and online. For people who feel most at home expressing themselves in English.
You don't need a crisis to begin therapy. Often it's a quiet sense that something needs more room — more honesty, more care.
You live in Barcelona and want therapy in English — because that's the language where you feel most yourself.
You're an expat or international navigating life between cultures, identities, and languages.
You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected — and you'd like to understand what's underneath.
You're going through a transition — in your work, your relationships, your sense of who you are.
You want depth — not a quick fix or a list of techniques, but genuine exploration of what moves you.
You want a therapist who is warm, present, and honest — and who respects your own pace and way of knowing yourself.
You're carrying grief, loss, or unresolved pain — and you want somewhere safe to set it down.
You know something needs to change, but you're not entirely sure what — and you'd like to find out.
I'm a Gestalt therapist working in English and Catalan, offering individual therapy in person in Barcelona and online.
My path to therapy was shaped both by rigorous training and by lived experience of what it means to inhabit more than one language, one culture, one version of yourself. I understand — from the inside — what it's like to feel most articulate and emotionally present in English, even while living somewhere else.
Working in English isn't simply a practical accommodation. For many people, it's where the real conversation can happen. The one that reaches further, touches more honestly, and doesn't stay on the surface.
I trained as a Gestalt therapist at the Escola de l'Ésser in Barcelona, and hold a Master's in individual and group emotional support from the Institut Carl Rogers. I've also completed training in the Hoffman Process, in the systemic approach to organisations, and bring earlier academic and professional backgrounds in English and German philology and in business.
My approach is deeply influenced by Carl Rogers' person-centred values — the conviction that each person carries the resources for their own growth, and that what makes therapy work is not technique, but the quality of the relationship. Gestalt adds a present-moment attentiveness: to what's happening now in the body, in the room, in the contact between us.

Therapy, as I practise it, is not about advice or analysis from a distance. It is a shared space — honest, careful, unhurried — where something real can be looked at together.
Much of what we carry has its roots in past experience, but transformation happens in the present. I pay close attention to what's alive between us in the room — in your words, your body, your silences — and use that contact as part of the work.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is not to interpret it for you, but to create the kind of space where your own knowing can emerge more clearly. I follow your lead, while staying genuinely present alongside you.
Emotions, thoughts, body sensations, patterns, relationships, history — these are not separate things. Gestalt therapy works with all of them, trusting that the most useful insights come from looking at the whole rather than isolating parts.
There is nothing you can bring here that is too small, too complicated, or too shameful. The therapeutic relationship works precisely because it offers something rare: genuine acceptance, without condition, without agenda.
Gestalt therapy asks: what is happening right now? It is a form of humanistic psychotherapy that values awareness, contact, and honest expression. You don't need to know anything about Gestalt to work this way — it simply means we will be paying attention, together.
Therapy is not a repair process. I'm not here to give you answers or remove what is difficult. I'm here to be with you while you find your own way through — which is both more modest and more durable.
Therapy doesn't require a diagnosis. People come with many different things — some urgent, some slow-burning, some difficult to name at all.
The list below gives a sense of the territory. But if you're not sure whether what you're carrying belongs here, reach out — that uncertainty itself is often a good place to begin.
Language is not simply a tool for communication. It's also where we store feeling. The words we use in one language carry different weights, different textures, different memories — sometimes a whole emotional life that doesn't translate.
For many people living in Barcelona, English is where the most honest conversation happens. It might be the language of your childhood, your education, your inner world — or simply the language in which you feel least guarded and most fully yourself.
Therapy that happens in the wrong language is harder. Not impossible, but harder. You lose nuance. You spend energy translating. You stay slightly more defended.
I offer therapy entirely in English — for expats and internationals living in Barcelona, for English-speaking locals, and for anyone who simply does their deepest thinking in English.
Sessions are available in person in Barcelona, at Celobert Teràpia, and online.
