Trauma therapy

Trauma therapist in Seville

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

Some experiences do not stay in the past. Even years later, they keep coming back as memories, constant alertness, fear or a disconnection that is hard to explain. As a specialist in clinical psychology (PIR), I help you understand what happened and work through it with an evidence-based treatment, at your own pace and in a safe space.

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

What it is

What psychological trauma is

We speak of trauma when an experience overwhelms a person’s ability to cope with it at the time. What defines it is not only what happened, but how it was stored: the mind and body keep reacting as if the danger were still there.

It does not take something extreme for an experience to leave a mark. Sometimes it is a single event; at other times, something that was repeated over a long period, especially in our closest relationships.

Trauma from a single event

An accident, an assault, a sudden loss, a medical procedure or any situation in which you felt your life or your safety were at risk.

Complex or relational trauma

Repeated experiences of abuse, neglect, humiliation or lack of care, often in childhood or in a relationship, that shape how you see yourself and how you relate to others.

When to seek help

Signs that trauma is still present

Everyone experiences it differently. These are some of the signs I see most often in my practice:

Memories that return

Images, nightmares or sensations from the past that appear without warning and feel just as intense.

Avoiding reminders

Places, people, conversations or situations you would rather not face, even if it limits your life.

Always on alert

Tension, being easily startled, trouble sleeping or relaxing, as if something bad were about to happen.

Disconnection

Feeling you live on autopilot, watching things from the outside or having gaps in your memory of what happened.

Guilt and shame

Thinking it was your fault, that you should be over it by now or that something is wrong with you.

Repeating patterns

Relationships that look alike, difficulty trusting or setting boundaries, fear of being abandoned.

Recognising yourself in several of them does not mean you have a specific diagnosis. It means it is worth assessing with a professional.

The process

How we work with trauma in therapy

A phased treatment, adapted to your history and your pace.

01

Assessment

We look at your history, what brings you to therapy and how it affects you today. With that, I design an individual treatment plan.

02

Stabilisation

Before going to difficult memories, we build resources to regulate anxiety, distress and disconnection. Feeling more in control comes first.

03

Processing

We work through traumatic experiences with evidence-based techniques, including EMDR therapy when indicated, so they no longer weigh on your present in the same way.

04

Integration

We consolidate the changes in your daily life: in how you feel, in your relationships and in the way you look at what happened.

You do not have to tell everything from the start. Each step is decided together.

Who it is for

Therapy for adults, individual and private

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about trauma therapy

Do I need to have lived through something very serious to have trauma therapy?

No. What matters is not how serious the event looks from the outside, but how it still affects you. Experiences that seem “small” can leave a deep mark, especially when they are repeated.

Will I have to tell everything that happened to me?

Not at the beginning, and never more than you can handle. First we build a safe space and resources to regulate yourself; then we decide together what to work on and when.

How long does trauma therapy last?

It depends on each person: on what they went through, how long it has been affecting them and the resources they have. We assess it at the start and review it throughout the process.

What is the difference between trauma therapy and EMDR therapy?

Trauma therapy is the complete treatment: assessment, stabilisation, processing and integration. EMDR therapy is one of the tools I use within that treatment, when it is indicated.

Can trauma be treated online?

Yes. Online sessions follow the same process as in-person ones. In the first session we assess which format suits you best.

Do you see children or couples?

No. My practice is dedicated to individual therapy with adults.
