46-year-old Australian Registered Psychologist, Leigh Matthews, moved to Barcelona in 2011 after meeting her Barcelonian husband in 2010. Following a thriving private practice in Brisbane, Australia, she founded Therapy in Barcelona in December 2011. Initially a solo practice, Leigh found herself having to refer clients to other practices as well as receiving requests from therapists to work with her. This inspired her to expand the practice to be able to embrace new clients and collaborate with colleagues. In September 2108, Therapy in Barcelona evolved from a home practice into a sanctuary-like space in a quintessentially Barcelona-style building in the heart of Eixample.
Therapy in Barcelona is run by internationals for internationals and specialises in the particular complexities that international life can bring. Despite palm trees and sun, many internationals feel isolated in Barcelona as they are dislocated from their support networks. The aim of the practice is to offer clients a welcoming space throughout their journey towards mental well-being. Each of the therapists has a different specialist background, and many are multilingual, ensuring clients can be paired with a therapeutic approach tailored to their needs.
Leigh Matthews is a Registered Australian Psychologist and founder of Therapy in Barcelona, a group therapy practice in Barcelona that has supported the English speaking international community for over 13 years. While Leigh’s earlier work focused on helping clients navigate the complexities of expatriate life, her current role is dedicated to leading a uniquely diverse team of highly skilled English speaking therapists from around the world in Barcelona. Committed to fostering professional growth and collaboration, Leigh ensures the practice provides compassionate, client-centred care while focusing on business development and mentorship. Through Therapist Launchpad Consultations, Leigh now shares her expertise, supporting therapists to build successful, ethical practices of their own. Visit Leigh’s LinkedIn Profile
