Andrés
I help you improve your general well-being and find personal fulfillment.
Welcome!
My name is Andrés and I’m a psychology-trained therapist from Mexico City.
I’ve lived in Canada, Scotland, and now in Barcelona.
I came to study for a Master’s degree in third-wave cognitive therapy and clinical psychotherapy.
I decided to stay after finding a pleasant community, of expat and like-minded therapists with whom I can share experiences and learn from at Therapy in Barcelona.

So, what does working with me feel like?
I do my best to make you feel welcome.
I know that when you come to therapy you are in a difficult situation and are looking for healing. That’s why I’ll do all I can to make you feel welcome throughout the therapeutic process.
I provide a space of unconditional acceptance.
Here, you will be equipped with the tools. To change your current situation into one of fulfilment according to your values and interests.
I help you to look at concerns with a new set of eyes.
Because the way we perceive and explain what we are going through affects our ability to overcome challenges. We will develop perspectives that will help you find creative and effective solutions.
I have an integrative approach.
I draw from my knowledge of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), mindfulness, play therapy, interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
What can I help with?
Individuals
Depression, anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, addiction, eating disorders, loss and trauma.
I am also trained to help people with impulse control, ADHD, physical illness or disabilities, self-esteem issues, and decision making.
Relationships
Communication challenges, shared goal setting, sexual difficulties, affairs, parenting styles, separation or divorce.
Adolescents
Depression, anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, addiction, eating disorders, loss and trauma.
I am also trained to help people with impulse control, ADHD, physical illness or disabilities, self-esteem issues, and decision making.
I have always believed that one tiny speck of beauty makes the biggest imperfection worth saving. Because we can nurture beauty. In fact, I think the world is imperfect so we can bring perfection to it through our works of love towards others.
That’s why I studied psychology, to help people by offering a space of acceptance and validation.
How did I realise my calling in life was psychology?

When I was a kid, I loved to catch snakes and tarantulas.
I learnt to handle them with kindness and respect.
I easily cry at the movies.
I empathise with the characters and their situations.
I have a dog called Mateo who’s also from Mexico.
He belongs to my support circle. He is family.

What Clients Say About
Working With Me
Andrés is great! I feel better after I have had a session, I wish i could do it more often.
I really like our talks, and although therapy is work also for the client, I always look forward to our sessions.
Andres created a very welcoming environment and he was also very clear of what to expect from his approach. I was very positively surprised by the experience.
Absolutely it was a really good hour. Excited for more to come.
