Sometimes life feels like too much to carry alone

Maybe anxiety is keeping you stuck in worry. Maybe a low mood has taken the colour out of things, and you’re not sure how to get it back. Maybe you’re going through a transition that’s left you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. Maybe you’ve been managing just about, but you know something needs to change. Perhaps you can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong with you.

Whatever has brought you here, you’ve taken an important first step.

Hi I’m Jess

I’m a UK-qualified psychologist and psychotherapist based in Barcelona, and for the past 16 years I’ve been helping English, Italian, and Spanish speakers find their footing again, whether they’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, or the particular challenges of building a life far from home.

I work with evidence-based approaches, including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, and NLP – because I want to offer you tools that really work. But therapy is never just a set of techniques. It’s a relationship built on trust, and my approach is always warm, open, and tailored to you.

I think of it this way: life’s challenges are like climbing a mountain. We’re all climbing ours. But from where I stand, I can often see aspects of your path that are harder for you to see from the inside, the obstacles ahead, and the routes around them. When depression makes that mountain feel unclimbable, or anxiety makes every step feel dangerous, having someone beside you can make all the difference. My job is to help you find your way through.

What therapy with me looks like

A safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak honestly and be truly heard. Practical tools and strategies you can use in real life, not just in the therapy room. A pace that works for you, and an approach that adapts as you do.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood and depression, stress and burnout, sleep difficulties, relationship issues, life transitions, identity issues and cultural adaptation. Sessions are available in English, Spanish or Italian in person in Barcelona or online.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to get started

If something here resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to arrange a first session, and let’s take it from there.
