About me
I believe in the power of integration and searching for our unique selves, imperfect and original. I believe that change comes from acceptance. I believe that it takes a life time for us to be on the journey of returning to our “origin”.
I’m Yoky, a professional therapist, comedian and writer based in Barcelona and online. I work psychosomatically with clients located in and/or originated from Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and Australia. I have worked and lived in China, U.S.A, and now Spain. (LGBTQ+ member; cross-culturally trained.) My last name 俞 in ancient Chinese means “healing”, which is pretty much my calling for life.
I’m keen to meet you and accompany you in your healing journey, wherever you might be, in tears and laughters, in light and shadows.
What motivated me to become a therapist is my own growth and healing journey, having come from a rather challenging childhood. I find the integration work extremely important for creating fulfilling human experiences. As part of my personal healing journey and creative pursuit, I perform standup comedy. However, I do not disclose client information in my materials.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
I have a holistic and somatic oriented approach in individual and couples therapy, influenced by Eastern healing philosophies such as Taoism and combined with modern therapeutic techniques (ex. somatic parts work, mindfulness & complex trauma work).
Key Principles: Integrative, Somatic and Relational. Unconditional positive regard; Inner child healing. Intuitive mindfulness. Congruence.
Testimonials:
Individual Therapy:
“Yoky is a beautiful, gentle soul!… I didn’t realize how much I needed her! She was very patient and attentive, and created a safe environment for me to be able to express myself comfortably. I think what made these sessions so special, was her ability to connect with my energy and help me touch deep into places I had avoided before. As hard as it was, she guided me into finding inner peace with the subject. I want to thank you, Yoky, for being the beautiful spirit that was sent to me.”
Couples Therapy:
“Working with Yoki has been great! We have greatly appreciated how her work is embodied and experiential, to the core of of our patterns and held with true compassion and curiosity. I highly recommend her!”
"Yoky helped us find the roots of our love with a gentle, fun, and tender approach. What really made the difference for us was that the sessions felt light, and were often concentrated on somatic practices as well as conversation. This is what we needed as we are both people who tend to be more in our heads, but it is in the body that trauma and other things are stored… Deeply grateful to her, our relationship truly changed since we worked with her."
