How does couples therapy work?

Couples therapy is a collaborative process designed to help partners improve their relationship and resolve conflicts. In sessions, I facilitate open communication, providing a safe space for each partner to express their thoughts and feelings. The therapist works to identify patterns of interaction, uncover underlying issues, and develop effective strategies for resolving conflicts. Couples therapy may involve various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, communication skills training, and exploring emotional dynamics. The goal is to strengthen the relationship, enhance understanding, and foster healthier communication patterns. The number of sessions varies based on the unique needs of each couple, and progress is often achieved through a combination of in-session work and practice of new skills between sessions.

What is couples therapy?

Couples therapy, also known as marriage or relationship counseling, is a therapeutic process that focuses on improving the dynamics and functioning of a romantic partnership. It involves sessions with a trained therapist (english-speaking therapist) who works collaboratively with both partners to address issues, enhance communication, and foster a healthier relationship. Couples therapy aims to help partners understand each other better, navigate conflicts more effectively, and strengthen emotional bonds. The therapist may use various techniques and approaches tailored to the specific needs of the couple, promoting self-awareness and shared growth. Whether addressing specific challenges or seeking to enhance overall relationship satisfaction, couples therapy in Bareclona provides a supportive environment for partners to work together towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

What is person centered therapy?

Person-centered therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the individual's capacity for self-discovery and personal growth. Also known as client-centered therapy, this therapeutic model places great importance on creating a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.

In person-centered therapy, the therapist provides a warm and empathetic environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The focus is on the client's subjective experience, allowing them to lead the sessions and set the agenda. The therapist actively listens, reflects, and seeks to understand the client's perspective without imposing interpretations.

How to know if my teenager or child needs professional help?

Recognizing when your teenager may benefit from professional help involves being attentive to changes in behavior, emotions, and overall well-being. Consider seeking professional assistance if you observe:

1. Persistent Behavioral Changes: Sudden or persistent changes in behavior, such as withdrawal from family and friends, increased aggression, or acting out.

2. Emotional Distress: Noticeable shifts in mood, extreme emotional highs or lows, prolonged sadness, irritability, or expressions of hopelessness.

3. Academic Struggles: A sudden decline in academic performance, disinterest in school, or reports of troubling behavior from teachers.

4. Social Withdrawal: Avoidance of social activities, loss of interest in hobbies, or a sudden change in friend groups.

5. Substance Use: Experimentation or increased use of drugs or alcohol, which may indicate an attempt to cope with emotional difficulties.

6. Changes in Sleep or Appetite: Significant alterations in sleep patterns or appetite, including insomnia or excessive sleeping, and changes in eating habits.

7. Self-Harm or Suicidal Thoughts: Any indication of self-harming behaviors or expressions of suicidal thoughts should be treated as a serious concern requiring immediate professional attention.
