EMILIA
I provide a warm and safe space for self exploration and healing.
Hi there
I’m Emilia, a therapist trained in California.
Of all the places I’ve lived, Barcelona is one of my absolute favourites. The city is gorgeous, the weather is amazing and the quality of life unparalleled.
At Therapy in Barcelona I am excited to merge my two passions; traveling and therapy in one place.
I thrive in international environments and love having clients and colleagues from all over the world.

Let me share a tool - 4 questions to bring calm in moments of stress
What does working with me feel like?
I am authentic and real with you. So you can show up as you are.
I give you plenty of space to express yourself. So you can relax into the moment.
We work on getting you unstuck. We work together to achieve the goals you have chosen for your therapy.
I tailor the approach to each client. We will use the therapy tools that work the best for you.
I participate actively in the conversation. I’m not an um-hum therapist.
I use evidence-based, effective frameworks. Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness based therapies.
Adults
I can help you with...
Difficulties that we can work on together include (but are not limited to):
Anxiety | Trauma | Depression | LGBTQA+ | Worry | Rumination | Relationship issues | Grief | Healthy boundaries | The difference between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and communication | Sexual issues | Body image | Abusive relationships | Dating challenges | Family difficulties | Infidelity | Mid-life crisis | Social anxiety | Intimacy Issues | Difficult expat experiences | Gender fluidity | Loneliness | Imposter syndrome | Choosing a direction in life | Life crises | Self-harm | Substance abuse | Dealing with difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours in general
Simply put, I studied psychology to help people.
I wanted to learn strategies to help people heal from trauma, grow and self-actualise.
I always knew I wanted to be a therapist.
I have several psychologists in my family, and knew of the profession from a young age. I would discuss psychology with my uncle when I was as young as 8 and I started reading Freud when I was 12 🤓
But I also love languages, and I love to travel, so I spent many years traveling before taking the step to study psychotherapy.
So, why did I study psychology?

details about me
I’m a true expat! I’ve lived in 8 countries: Canada, Sweden, Israel, Egypt, China, UK, Spain and the U.S. I first moved abroad- from Stockholm to Toronto – when I was 3.
I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community. People from my community have a special place in my heart.
I have multiple loves. Learning languages, singing karaoke, cooking international food, listening to 70’s rock, 90’s hip hop and, Britpop. I’m a movie buff and I love reading books!
In my clients own words... therapy with me
I'm so grateful for the way you've helped me to work through my dilemmas and fears, and to get to the place I am now. I'm definitely happier and healthier than when we started and that definitely due to your support and actionable suggestions for how to manage my thoughts and interactions.
I like that the sessions are directional and that the goal is to not need therapy anymore.
Thank you for all of your help over the past few months. Both my husband and I wholeheartedly agree that working with you has greatly benefited our entire family. We are very grateful and appreciate all that you do.
Easy to book an appointment, first session was great to give full context. Excited for more.
Felt super understood and listened to. In my point of view, it felt like Emilia cared and wanted to help rather than me feeling like “just another person through the door” that I’ve experienced in the past. Really great experience and looking forward to working with her more
I felt heard, understood and respected, we talked about what I want to work on, and I felt a great connection so far.
Thank you so much for all that you have helped me out with throughout our sessions! Thank you so much for giving your time and effort to listen and really help me cope and improve on the many issues I'm dealing with. I have really enjoyed meeting with you, and in all sincerity and honesty, you are the best therapist and counselor I've ever had!
