Therapy for romantic relationships, friendships and family in Copenhagen

Our relationships with the people who matter most can be our greatest support and also a source of tension, especially when they are lived between different languages and cultures. In therapy we can work on how you relate to your partner, your friends and your family, in Spanish or English, online or in person in Copenhagen.

How I work

When a couple or a family brings together different cultures, languages and customs, friction often appears: how holidays are celebrated, how certain topics are discussed, what is expected of each person or what role relatives play. It doesn't mean something is wrong: these are differences worth putting into words. In therapy I help you understand them, listen to the other person and find agreements that work for you.

I work from an integrative approach: I combine tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy, a humanistic approach that puts your experience and your pace at the centre, and mindfulness practices. We work to identify patterns that repeat in your relationships, learn to set boundaries and express your needs in a healthy way.

Can I come alone if my partner doesn't want to?

No. It can help when there are conflicts that keep repeating, but also when distance or the stress of life abroad has weakened communication.

In individual therapy you can work on how you experience the relationship and what you need.

Sessions are in Spanish or English. If each person feels more comfortable in a different language, tell me before booking and we will talk it through.
