English therapy in Spain is more accessible than many expats and international residents expect, but finding the right fit takes time. The challenge is not just language, it is finding a therapist who understands the specific context of living abroad: the identity shifts, the relocation stress, the way familiar emotional patterns get amplified when your usual support structures are thousands of kilometres away. I offer bilingual therapy in Spain in English and Spanish, in person in Valencia and Madrid, and online from anywhere with over 20 years of clinical experience. My approach integrates IFS, Logotherapy, and Existential Analysis – a combination that addresses both the presenting symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain them.
Whether you are looking for an english speaking counsellor in Spain or an expat therapist who understands life between cultures, sessions are available in English and Spanish in Valencia, Madrid, and online.
Bilingual Therapy in Spain: Why Language Matters in Therapy
Bilingual therapy in Spain means working with a therapist who is fully fluent in both English and Spanish, not just conversational. For expats, international couples, and bilingual professionals, being able to switch between languages in a session without losing nuance is often the difference between surface-level work and real depth. I work with clients who think in English, feel in Spanish, or do both depending on the topic.
Who English Therapy in Spain is For
My english therapy clients in Spain include expats navigating relocation stress, internationally mobile professionals dealing with burnout, accompanying partners who left careers behind, bilingual couples where one or both partners prefer to process in English, and anyone who finds that their emotional life is more accessible in English than in Spanish. You do not need to be a native English speaker to benefit from therapy in English – many clients are bilingual and simply find that certain experiences are easier to articulate in one language over the other.
English Therapy in Madrid
I offer in-person english therapy sessions in Madrid on a flexible schedule. Madrid has a large and growing international community, and demand for english speaking therapists in the city is high. Sessions are 60 minutes and available in English, Spanish, or both. Find out more about english therapy in Madrid.
English Therapy in Valencia
Valencia is my primary base and where I see the majority of my in-person clients. The city has a growing expat community but fewer english speaking therapists than Madrid or Barcelona, which means finding the right support can take longer. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, in person in Valencia and online. Find out more about english therapy in Valencia.
Online English Therapy Across Spain
For clients outside Valencia and Madrid, or for those who prefer the flexibility of online sessions, I offer english therapy online to clients anywhere in Spain and internationally. Online sessions follow the same structure and depth as in-person work. Find out more about online english therapy in Spain.
What to Expect in a First Session
The first session lasts 60 minutes and is a space where you can share what brings you to therapy and ask questions about how I work. I focus on creating a sense of safety and trust from the beginning. By the end of the conversation, the goal is to have a clearer sense of whether this feels like the right therapeutic space to begin working together.
