ABOUT ME

I have a master’s degree in psychology , with specialisms in clinical and educational psychology, from UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia). I completed postgraduate studies in bereavement and death at the University of Pompeu Fabra (UPF). I am trained in EMDR.

For more than ten years I have been exclusively dedicated to the practice of psychology and psychotherapy on an individual level with adults, teenagers and children, both in the public and private spheres.

As an adult psychologist  I worked at Hestia International Centre of Psychotherapy and at Sitges Medical Centre, attending clients in Catalan, Spanish, English and Italian.

As a child psychologist  I am specialized in cases of child abuse and violence. I worked in the Generalitat de Catalunya’s first centre specialized in gender-based and domestic violence  (CIE: Centro Especializado en Violencia Machista) and I also collaborated with the local government of Guayaquil (Ecuador) on a pioneering program of psychological therapy for children at risk of social exclusion.

In the educational realm, I worked at nursery schools as a psychologist and gave classes to mums and dads (Parent School) and educators.

I have spent several years working as a child psychologist  for La Caixa Foundation’s ProInfancia Project (Proyecto ProInfància de la Obra Social de La Caixa) and working with teenagers and children at risk of social exclusion at the Fundació Centre Obert Joan Salvador Gavina and the Associació Casal dels Infants.

Since 2014 I have been practising as a General Health Psychologist  at my private practice in Barcelona and I attend clients in Catalan, Spanish, English and Italian.

ONLINE THERAPY

Online psychotherapy is a new way of providing therapeutic support which uses new communication technologies such as videoconferencing.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapeutic method that accelerates the treatment of difficulties and disorders that we may face through our lives that produce stress, discomfort, depression, traumas or phobias.

This method, developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987, consists of a series of

 

 left-right eye movements or alternate left-right tapping. This bilateral stimulation produces desensitization which enables the reprocessing of feelings, sensations, thoughts and beliefs that were caused by traumatic life events and leads to the resolution of psychological symptoms and disorders.
