Relationships, self-esteem and life transitions

Therapy for self-esteem and relationships in Seville

Individual therapy for adults, in person in Seville and online, in English and Spanish.

Sometimes distress has no clear name: you find it hard to value yourself, you repeat relationships that hurt you, you feel drained or you are going through a change that overwhelms you. As a specialist in clinical psychology (PIR), I help you understand what is happening and build a healthier relationship with yourself and with others.

Practice at Paseo de las Delicias, 1 (Seville) and online sessions.

What we work on

What we work on in this area

Self-esteem, relationships and mood are usually connected. How you see yourself influences how you relate to others, and what you experience in your relationships influences how you feel. That is why we work on them together, always in individual therapy.

Self-esteem

The way you talk to yourself, value yourself and look after yourself. We work on self-criticism, insecurity and the feeling of not being enough.

Relationships

Repeating patterns, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional dependence or fear of rejection, with a partner, family, friends or at work.

Depression and persistent distress

Sadness, apathy, lack of energy or loss of interest in things that used to matter to you.

Life transitions

Break-ups, bereavement, changes of job or city and other moments of crisis that force you to reorganise your life.

When to seek help

Signs that therapy may help you

These are some of the situations I see most often in my practice:

You find it hard to value yourself

You compare yourself, demand a lot of yourself and struggle to recognise what you do well.

You find it hard to say no

You put other people’s needs first and then feel resentful or exhausted.

Relationships that repeat

You end up again and again in similar relationships, even though you know they are not good for you.

Fear of rejection or abandonment

You need constant reassurance, or you avoid getting close so you will not be hurt.

Sadness that will not go away

A low mood that lasts for weeks and takes away your energy and desire to do things.

A crossroads

A change or a loss that leaves you not knowing which way to go.

The process

How we work in therapy

Understanding your history to change what hurts you today.

01

Assessment

We talk about what brings you to therapy, your current life stage and how it affects you. With that, I design an individual plan.

02

Understanding your history

We look at how you learned to relate to yourself and others, and where the repeating patterns come from.

03

Changing patterns

We work on self-criticism, boundaries and new ways of relating. When the origin lies in difficult experiences, this may include EMDR therapy.

04

Consolidating

We bring the changes into your daily life so they last after therapy ends.

Each process adapts to your pace and to what you need at each moment.

Who it is for

Individual therapy for adults

I work exclusively with adults, in individual therapy. I do not offer couples or family therapy: relationship difficulties are worked on individually. You can come to my practice at Paseo de las Delicias, 1, in Seville, or have your sessions online, in English or Spanish.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I start therapy even if I cannot explain what is wrong?

Yes. Many people arrive with the feeling that something is not right, without being able to name it. Making sense of it is part of the work in the first sessions.

Do you offer couples therapy?

No. I only work in individual therapy. If what worries you is your relationship, we can work on your side of it: how you feel, what you need and how you relate.

What is emotional dependence?

It is a way of relating in which the fear of losing the other person leads you to constantly put their needs before yours, even when it causes you distress. It can be worked on in individual therapy.

How do I know if what I have is depression?

Only a professional assessment can tell. If sadness, lack of energy or loss of interest last more than two weeks and affect your life, it is worth seeking help. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, ask for help straight away: in Spain, call 024 or 112.

How long does therapy last?

It depends on what brings you to therapy and on your history. We assess it at the start and review it throughout the process.

Can it be done online or in English?

Yes. Online sessions follow the same process as in-person ones, and therapy can be carried out entirely in English.
