Para mí es muy importante ofrecer un espacio de confianza y respeto, basado en la escucha, donde el paciente pueda expresar aquello que le preocupa, siente y piensa. De este modo, podremos identificar juntos qué le sucede, comprenderlo y trabajar en la transformación de sus pensamientos, emociones, sentimientos y conductas

En cuanto a mi experiencia profesional, he trabajado tanto en el ámbito público como en el privado, realizando tratamientos de psicoterapia individual con niños, adolescentes y adultos. Asimismo, he llevado a cabo asesoramiento a padres y profesores de llars d’infants, así como de escuelas de primaria y ESO. También he colaborado con el Departament de Benestar Social y Justicia de la Generalitat de Catalunya.

Mi formación inicial se basa en la teoría psicoanalítica, realizando también mi propio proceso terapéutico, lo que me ha permitido comprender y conectar mejor con mis pacientes. Actualmente, mi enfoque es la psicoterapia relacional, integrando mi formación y experiencia para ofrecer un acompañamiento adaptado a las necesidades de cada paciente.

Member number 691 in the Official College of Psychologists of Catalonia.

PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS

Adolescence is a difficult stage of life for both the child and the family, with physical changes, uncertainty and many questions. On numerous occasions both adolescents and their families feel lost. Adolescence is a stage where young people build their own identity.

Emotions are experienced with great intensity and on many occasions anguish and anxiety appear in this search for identity, autonomy and independence. Relationship problems may appear, both with peers, feeling that they do not fit in with the group, and with the family.

Therapy helps the adolescent to understand what is happening to him/her and helps parents to find the best way to relate to their children.

It is indicated:

  • Relational problems with parents
  • Relationship difficulties with peers
  • Behavioural problems
  • Food-related problems
  • Sexual identity difficulties
  • Dificultades de control de impulsos

My therapeutic approach

What is relational psychotherapy?

It is a therapy focused on the relationship. I understand therapy as a space for meeting, reflection and dialogue, where the relationship between psychologist and patient facilitates the identification of the patient's discomfort and together put words to transform the suffering or symptomatology.

Who do I accompany?

I accompany people with anxiety, emotional distress, relationship conflicts, grief, depression or feelings of emptiness. Each process is unique and adapted to your needs.

What is the process like?

Creating a trusting and safe space for the patient, based on respect, listening and confidentiality. My sessions can be face-to-face or online.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sería necesario consultar cuando por cualquier situación interna o externa la persona tiene un sufrimiento. Este sufrimiento se puede expresar de diferentes maneras: con ansiedad, insomnio, baja autoestima, miedo, enfado o irritabilidad, soledad, depresión, adicciones, etc… Las dificultades  emocionales son síntomas de que algo no funciona de forma adecuada en nuestra vida y por ello aparece el malestar.

It is also a good time to be able to consult at those moments in life when changes occur:

  • Cambios en situaciones familiares: separación/divorcio, nacimiento de un hijo o pérdida de un ser querido
  • Dificultades de relación con amigos, familia, compañeros de trabajo, etc
  • Otros: migraciones, crisis laboral o económica, escolar, vocacional

Durante la primera sesión te ofrezco un espacio seguro donde podrás expresar lo que te preocupa. Te haré algunas preguntas para entender bien cuál es tu problema y cómo te puedo acompañar en tu proceso.

Al inicio del proceso terapéutico necesitamos realizar sesiones con una frecuencia semanal. A medida que avances hacia los cambios deseados revisaremos la frecuencia de tus sesiones si es necesario.
