Couples Therapy
Couples therapy in English offers a space to look together at your relationship – both at what feels painful or difficult, and at what is still a source of closeness and connection. It is not about finding blame, but about building new ways of understanding each other and creating a more conscious way of being together. For expat couples in Barcelona, therapy can also be a space to explore the additional pressures that come with living abroad – such as adapting to a new culture, distance from family, or balancing different identities within the relationship.
In my work with couples I combine an integrative approach with systemic psychotherapy, and when helpful, also tools for regulating emotions and strengthening communication. I work with expat couples at different stages of their relationship – whether in a crisis or simply wanting to deepen their bond.
- Sessions take place with both partners together.
- We explore recurring patterns, especially in moments of conflict or emotional difficulty.
- We focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and understanding each other’s needs and emotions.
- The goal is for both partners to feel safe, heard, and valued in the relationship.
- communication has become difficult or conflictual,
- you feel distance, coldness, or lack of intimacy,
- you are facing a crisis – such as betrayal, loss, or major life changes,
- your situation has shifted (e.g., having a child, moving in together) and you want to find new ways of functioning as a couple,
- you want to deepen your relationship and strengthen mutual understanding.
