Online Individual Therapy in Barcelona.

The work

The work I do is relational and pattern-focused. I don't run through intake checklists or assign exercises between sessions. I pay attention to what happens in the room: what you're saying, what you're not saying, the moments when something shifts or goes flat or speeds up. That's the material we work with.

Most people arrive already knowing the story of their situation. They've told it to themselves a hundred times and always land in the same place. What's missing is a different angle, someone watching in real time who can name what's invisible from inside it. That's what I offer. Not interpretation from a distance, but attention in the room, offered as it happens.

I work with individuals and couples. Individual work is usually about finding the pattern underneath the presenting problem, the thing that keeps recurring in different forms across different circumstances. Couples work is about finding what the argument is really about, which is rarely what it appears to be about. Both come down to the same thing: seeing what you haven't been able to see, and from there, actually being able to do something different.

Where I fit in Barcelona

Barcelona has one of the largest and most visible international communities in Europe, which means English-language therapy options exist here, more than in most Spanish cities. The Spanish public system still carries waits and works in Spanish or Catalan by default, and for sustained depth work most internationals go private. The wider picture is on my Spain page.

What I offer is specific: depth and character work, complete privacy with no Spanish record, one consistent therapist, and no wait. If that is what you are looking for, the size of the local scene is beside the point.

What Barcelona brings to therapy

Barcelona runs on the dream of itself: the city, the beach, the lifestyle, which draws the largest digital-nomad and remote-worker scene in the region, plus the startup crowd, the international students, and the lifestyle migrants. The recurring presentation is the gap between the version you moved for and the one you are living. The transient community where everyone is leaving in six months, so friendships stay shallow. The freelancer's background hum of precarity. The Instagram life and the private loneliness underneath it. The slow recognition that paradise did not fix the thing you brought with you, because it never could.

The arrangement

I am a US-trained psychodynamic therapist working online and privately: no Spanish license, no public-system involvement, no diagnosis on any record. You pay directly, in any currency, and the schedule flexes around remote and freelance work. Barcelona evenings pair with my US mornings. When what you need is prescribing, assessment, or covered care, the Spanish system handles that, and I will say so directly.

Questions people ask from Barcelona

What people bring to online therapy

The people I work with in English come for a wide range of reasons: anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, anger management, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, loneliness, self-esteem issues, procrastination, sleep problems, attachment patterns, self-sabotage, perfectionism, identity questions, and existential concerns. Online counseling makes this work possible from wherever you are, whether you need an English-speaking therapist, a virtual counselor, or simply someone who can work in your language at a depth that matters.

How it works

Sessions are online via secure video call. I work with individuals and couples (60 minutes). Before your first session, we have a free 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
