Approach

Treatment Approaches
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
I'm a psychodynamic psychologist with a humanistic approach. I have also trained as a Sexual Therapist. I specialize in Adults, and Couples Psychotherapy, in anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, life crises, eating disorders, and relationships. I work with adults with ADHD, and I am LGBTI-friendly. I offer time-limited and open-ended therapy for individuals and couples in English and Spanish.

I have an integrative approach, I use dynamics and strategies adapted to my clients´ specific needs. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space, enhance your problem-solving skills, recognize your emotions, and thought patterns, and strengthen your resources to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

My therapeutic approach is primarily based on psycho-dynamic perspectives on the human subject. For me, the value of such an approach lies in the focus on self-understanding and self-reflection. I also believe that sometimes it can be beneficial to work with relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and body awareness.

My experience as a migrant in London and Madrid has led me to study the psychological effects of temporary or long-term migration which led me to help the Expat community on a psychological and social level.

*Testimonials:
Client: "We have worked with Andrea for over 2 years and she is an excellent therapist. She makes it very easy to open up for difficult topics and I feel I had an incredible improvement in issues like anxiety, confidence, and childhood trauma making the connection about how it affects my current behavior, setting up boundaries, and finally being able to express myself authentically. I feel now I have a much closer friend circle, more tuned to my authentic self and balancing all parts of my life".

Client: "Andrea is such a warm-hearted and understanding person! Nothing ever made us feel uncomfortable, not even the most intimate topics. We can recommend her to every couple!"
