English-Speaking Counselling in Spain

For people navigating repeating emotional or relational patterns, difficult transitions, or the growing sense that insight alone hasn't been enough.

A different kind of attention

You can often see it while it's happening. The reaction that arrives before you've chosen it. The conversation that keeps ending somewhere familiar. The way you adjust yourself before anything has even been asked of you.

Many of the people I see live internationally, between cultures, or outside more conventional relational frameworks. Most have already spent years reflecting, reading, doing therapy, or trying to make sense of why certain things keep happening — and still find themselves pulled into familiar emotional territory when something important is at stake.

I work slowly. Most of what happens in a session happens because we don't move too quickly past what has just emerged. The focus is less on advice or interpretation, and more on helping you understand your reactions from the inside rather than only thinking about them from the outside.

Common Questions

Is this therapy?

This is a depth-oriented counselling practice grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), relational work, and psychology. Some clients arrive after years of therapy; others are looking for a different kind of conversation than they've found elsewhere.

Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?

No. Many people arrive with a general sense that something keeps happening in relationships, conflict, intimacy, or the way they relate to themselves — without fully knowing why.

What happens in the orientation call?

The orientation call is a free 20-minute conversation to get a sense of what brings you here, whether the work feels like a fit, and any practical questions around sessions.

Are sessions online or in person?

Online sessions are available across Spain and internationally. I also offer in-person sessions in Motril and, with limited availability, in Málaga.
