I offer therapy in Barcelona city centre to couples and families, and to individuals. I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and respectful space where clients can talk freely about their difficulties and where they can be supported to find solutions that are a good fit with their own beliefs and values.
I believe that it is essential to listen attentively to my clients, to understand each individual's unique context and to explore what goals they want to set themselves and to work collaboratively to see which new ideas emerge as we work together.
My approach is flexible and person-centred, meaning that I see each client as a unique individual who is able to find their own solutions based on their set of experiences and circumstances. I am an expert in the theory of change but you are an expert on your life and each client's way of changing is very personal and unique.
"People can change-right down to my bones, through every cell, in every fiber of my body-I know that people can change. It is just a question of when and in what context” Virginia Satir.
The basis of our work together is a safe and solid therapeutic relationship. I can offer empathy, trust and honesty to my clients.
I warmly embrace diversities and differences of culture, age, social class, disability, religion, gender, sexual orientation, life experience and family background.
A little more about me:
I am 48 years old. My pronouns are she/her. I am British but lived in France for 4 years as a young adult, and have now lived in Barcelona for 23 years.
I am one half of an intercultural marriage and we have three children aged 21, 19 and 9.
I worked for 18 years running an English-speaking family and childcare centre here in Barcelona, and via that work with families I noticed how families tended to operate as a cohesive unit, and then discovered a passion - the realisation that humans are first and foremost relational beings, and a mission - to understand the individual in relationship with others, rather than in isolation.
When I am not learning about systemic psychotherapy, my interests are animal welfare, reading, dancing and spending time with friends.
