If you have reached this page it is because there is SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE, DOES NOT GO WELL AS YOU WOULD LIKE it.
And the truth is that I am very happy that you are looking for a way to solve it. You are starting the first step, the most difficult one, ¡CONGRATULATIONS!.
The way of life in today’s busy, competitive and chaotic society and the pandemic we are going through makes us rethink our way of life, our values and principles. These are moments of decision: to continue being trapped in your emotional states, anxiety, depression, without direction, or to try to give another perspective to your day to day and enjoy the life you deserve and want!
It’s your time, start your path to personal freedom, getting your dreams, getting your life that you want!
It is estimated that more than 1.1 million people in the world suffer from some kind of mental disorder on a daily basis. Anxiety tops the list, and depression follows closely behind. It has also increased disorders related to the use and abuse of alcohol and/or drugs in recent years. And even if it is not named in the media, more people die by suicide than by traffic accidents.
Sixty-one percent of marriages end in breakup and schools still do not teach subjects that teach us how to manage our emotions in times of crisis.
Then we feel lost, disoriented and we walk around in a maze from which we cannot find the way out.
YOU ARE IN SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS?
Are you restless, tense, nervous for most of the day? Do you have problems concentrating because you are constantly worried, thinking about your future and your day-to-day problems? You are afraid of what is about to happen to you, or it could happen to you? Do you feel short of breath, sweat a lot and shake often? You don’t sleep well, you are tired? You may be suffering from anxiety.
Your fears of getting something in your life or even keeping something in your life, your lack of self-esteem and confidence are a barrier that separates the life you have from the life you want?
You feel lost, disoriented, blocked, you are going through an existential crisis and you would like to find (or create) your way?
Now with the pandemic, don’t you find motivation in your training? Don’t you achieve the goals you set for yourself? You’re not enjoying yourself? Do you feel stress, anxiety at training time? Have you suffered from competition anxiety? Now is the time to train your mind!
ABOUT THE THERAPY
I love my profession, it is my vocation, and I consider that each person I have in front of me is unique and special, therefore she he must have a personalized treatment based on a previous evaluation of his her problem and his her vital circumstances.
I use strategies based on scientific evidence, that is to say, they have shown in many previous studies that they work and that they will help you achieve your goals. Specifically, the approach I use most is Cognitive-Behavioral counseling, as it has been shown to be the most effective for most anxiety and mood disorders. However, depending on the person and their needs, I use other approaches and strategies (Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Coaching and Motivational Interviewing) to be helpful. As I said before, everyone is unique and learns differently. I adapt to your way of seeing the world and we work together to make you feel better about yourself.
My way of working is based on honesty, respect, transparency and authenticity. Any questions you may have during or after the sessions, don’t hesitate to ask because I can help you. You are about to begin a very important process of change, growth, and transformation, and I don’t want you to feel alone at any time.
All information discussed during the sessions will be strictly confidential, completely safe and judgment-free.
My services do not only include the consultation, but also the scheduling of tasks to be done during the week to reinforce what has been learned. Change is a process, is not a goal, practice and patience is needed to grow..
If your case does not fall within my specialty or I consider that you need other types of help I will not hesitate to recommend the most appropriate professional
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE THE PHASES OF THE THERAPY PROCESS?
First, I will evaluate your case personally.
I need to know you: what you look like, what your environment is like, what your history is like, how your problem has been created and what factors are maintaining it in the present moment.
Then we will make a detailed analysis for you to understand what is happening to you and together we will set some goals towards which we will start working, (better emotional management, decrease your anxiety levels, increase your mood, feel more confident, learn social skills, develop some better coping skilss, etc…)
Then we will make together an action plan especially for you, in which we will include the objectives to be achieved in a long term and short term period.
In summary, the therapy process consists of the following phases;
Evaluation phase.
Analysis and objective.
Treatment.
Relapse prevention.
Follow-up.
Once the action plan has been accepted, we will start working together to achieve the objectives.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO GO TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST?
The interventions usually last between 10 and 15 sessions, except in more complex cases. At the beginning, the sessions will be weekly and as you progress, we will distance them in time.
It is not that you are going to the psychologist for years but that you understand what is happening to you, why your problem is being maintained and you learn tools to be able to fix it successfully. It is a journey to self-knowledge that will help you live a fuller life according to your values and principles.
WHAT IF AFTER I GO TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST I FALL BACK INTO MY PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR AGAIN?
Relapses are a part of life.
Nothing lasts forever, everything changes. The important thing is to adapt to these situations and be flexible. At these times it is important to be honest with yourself and ask for help. In my experience, pride does not help the situation to improve: the longer you let time go by, without reversing the situation, the worse you will feel. .
You don’t have to break down in the face of relapses, but learn from them. You need to analyze the triggers, the causes and what mental and emotional processes have led you to have them again.
After that, we will set goals and guidelines to approach the situation differently.
HOW DOES ONLINE THERAPY WORK? IS IT AS EFFECTIVE AS FACE-TO-FACE THERAPY?
Several studies show that there is no difference in the effectiveness of online therapy compared to face-to-face treatment.
So you can rest assured that this works exactly the same as a face-to-face therapy, only by video conference.
It also has some advantages.
We will work from your environment which sometimes makes it easier to integrate what you have learned in therapy into your daily life.
More flexible schedules: You only need a tablet, a computer or simply your mobile phone, and you can use any space you have free to have the session.
Totally anonymous: There is no possibility of meeting someone you know in the waiting room.
You will save money and time: You will not have to pay for public transport, petrol, parking, nor will you have to waste time travelling to the surgery.
Sessions are conducted via Skype, Zoom or a Whatsapp.
CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT THE THERAPY WILL WORK?
I can guarantee that if you follow the guidelines I will give you, it will significantly improve your emotional well-being. Now, sorry if I repeat myself again: change is a process, it is one step at the time. It requires patience and daily work. Changes do not happen from one day to another. It is possible, one step at the time.
HOW CAN YOU HELP ME?
My specialty is emotional management so I can help you at any time in your life when you feel difficult to manage your emotions, to achieve your goals or to believe in yourself.
Anxiety problems, prolonged depression or sadness, break-ups, emotional dependence, jealousy, grief, existential crisis, self-esteem problems, addictions, apathy, lack of motivation, problems relating to others, fears, etc…
I would also like to add my interest in the area of sports psychology. Being an athlete since I can remember, I became interested in this specialty because I saw, in first person, how frustrating it can be, not to perform as you would like in a competition, to experience pre-competitive anxiety or to feel lack of motivation in training. The mental factor of a sport is fundamental to be able to manage all the stimuli (external and internal stimuli) and thus be able to perform better in training, in competitions and in short, enjoy your sport!
CAN YOU GIVE ME A DISCOUNT ON CONSULTATIONS?
I’m sorry but I can’t make any discounts on the price of sessions or packages (see below). Apart from the costs of maintaining the website, I have to pay various taxes, insurance, materials, etc, and I spend quite a bit of time preparing for the sessions, among other things related to the therapies.
Very occasionally, I will promote quick sessions at an adaptable cost to treat very specific problems or launch special offers, but these will be limited in time. Stay tunned for this offer!
Remember one thing: it’s your mental health, pay a little attention to it for a few months, and work on your problems so that it will improve your quality of life in the long run. A little effort for a better future. Really, it will be worth it.
