Therapy for Expats and Internationals in Valencia
Valencia has become one of Spain’s most popular destinations for expats, digital nomads, and international professionals. From Ruzafa to El Carmen, L’Eixample to Benimaclet, the city is home to a growing community of people who arrived from somewhere else and are building a life here. That process is exciting. It is also, for many people, harder than they expected.
Finding a therapist who works in English is only part of what you need. The other part is finding someone who understands what it means to live between cultures: the identity questions, the loneliness that coexists with a full social calendar, the career disruptions, and the moments when you wonder whether you made the right decision moving here at all.
Talí Uribe offers bilingual therapy in Valencia for expats and internationals who want to work in English with a therapist who has lived the experience of starting over in a new country.

What I Help With
Each of the issues below has its own dedicated page with more detail. This is an overview of what Talí works with in her Valencia practice.
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people reach out. Whether it is free-floating worry, social anxiety in a new environment, or anxiety that has no obvious cause, therapy can help you understand what is driving it and work with it at the root. IFS Therapy
Burnout that goes deeper than exhaustion is another frequent presenting issue, especially among professionals who relocated for career reasons and have since started questioning whether any of it was worth it. Logotherapy
Narcissistic abuse recovery brings many clients who have left a controlling or emotionally abusive relationship and are trying to understand what happened, rebuild their sense of self, and stop repeating the same patterns. More on Narcissistic Abuse
Existential crisis and loss of meaning show up across all of the above. Sometimes the question underneath the anxiety, the burnout, or the relationship pain is simply: what is the point of all this? That question deserves a real answer, not just symptom management.
Expat transitions, including identity loss after relocation, career disruption, relationship strain from the move, and the specific loneliness of living far from your support network. More on Therapy for Expats
IFS and Logotherapy in Valencia
Talí combines two approaches that work particularly well together for the issues listed above.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a therapy that helps you understand the different parts of your inner world: the anxious part, the critical part, the part that shuts down, the part that keeps self-sabotaging. Rather than fighting these parts, IFS helps you listen to what they are protecting. Talí is IFS Level 1 certified. IFS Therapy
Logotherapy, developed by Viktor Frankl, works at the level of meaning and purpose. It is especially effective when the problem is not just emotional but existential: when burnout has become a crisis of direction, when relocation has erased your sense of who you are, or when you are recovering from abuse and need to rebuild not just your wellbeing but your reason to move forward. Talí is certified by the Viktor Frankl Institute. Logotherapy
Most clients do not need to know the theory. What they notice is that sessions go somewhere real, and that the same patterns do not keep coming back.
Expat Therapist in Valencia: A Growing Community
Valencia has become one of the most popular destinations for expats, digital nomads, and internationally mobile professionals in Spain. The city offers a genuine quality of life but the adjustment is rarely as simple as it looks from the outside. Many clients I work with in Valencia describe the specific challenge of navigating daily life in a city that moves at a Mediterranean pace, in a language that is not their own, in a community where expat networks are still developing. As an expat therapist in Valencia, I offer sessions in English and Spanish, in person and online. Find out more about therapy for expats in Spain.

In-Person and Online Sessions in Valencia
Talí sees clients in person in Valencia and online for anyone elsewhere in the Comunidad Valenciana or across Spain.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. If you are more comfortable switching between both languages during a session, that is also possible.
To enquire about availability, session fees, or to book a first consultation, use the contact page. First sessions are typically used to understand what you are dealing with and whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.
