Benefits of therapy in your native language

Speaking with a therapist who shares your language makes a real difference. When you can express yourself freely — without searching for words or worrying about nuances — emotions flow more naturally, and the process becomes deeper and more effective. You can address sensitive topics, explore your past, or describe subtle feelings with greater accuracy. Working with an English-speaking therapist also reduces misunderstandings, helps build trust more quickly, and allows you to stay focused on what truly matters: your wellbeing.

How does a therapy session work?

In the initial sessions, we would delve into what is happening and how it is affecting the different areas of your life. We would go through your life history and your current situation (support network and stressors) to understand what has happened, and based on this, we would establish the objectives to work on and the specific tools for your situation, which would be reviewed throughout the treatment. These strategies would be practised together in session so that they can be implemented outside the consulting room as well.

Our therapeutic approach is the so-called ‘contextual psychology‘. However, as we prioritise personalising the therapy to the circumstances of each individual, we can also include tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy, systemic therapy, play therapy, etc.
