Therapy in English in Barcelona and Badalona

Therapy in English in Barcelona can make difficult conversations easier. You can use the words that come naturally, without also having to translate feelings, family expressions or parts of your history.

I offer individual therapy and couples therapy in English, in person in Barcelona and Badalona. The practice is open to local and international clients. You do not need to be an expat, British or new to Spain to work with me.

Why therapy in your strongest language can matter

Therapy often lives in nuance: the exact word you use for a feeling, a family phrase that carries years of meaning, or the difference between being angry, hurt and ashamed. Speaking in the language that feels most natural can make it easier to stay close to your experience rather than searching for the translation.

Living abroad and belonging

Moving country can be exciting and deeply disorienting. Familiar support networks may be far away. Relationships can carry new pressure. Identity can shift when the version of you that existed at home no longer fits quite as neatly.

Therapy can offer space for homesickness, loneliness, cultural adjustment, mixed-nationality relationships, work pressure, family distance and the complicated question of where home now is. Those experiences may be central to the work, or simply part of the background.

For a longer reflection, read Expat loneliness: when living abroad doesn’t feel like home.

Individual and couples therapy

I work with adults individually and with couples. Common themes include anxiety, low mood, shame, relationships, identity, addiction, recovery, family impact, conflict, trust and major life changes.

What therapy in English in Barcelona can offer

Meeting in the same room creates a clear boundary around the therapeutic hour. You arrive, settle into a private space and have 50 minutes that do not need to compete with the rest of the day.

Exact location and access details are confirmed when we arrange the session.

Online is also available

If travel, work or location makes in-person sessions difficult, online therapy is available across the UK and Europe where appropriate. We can discuss which format fits your circumstances.

Sessions and fees

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Individual therapy costs €70, couples therapy costs €100, and the initial session is €30 for either format. Prices include IVA. See the fees page for full details.
