Therapy in Barcelona was founded in 2011 by Leigh Matthews. Leigh is an immigrant in Barcelona and an Australian Psychologist who is married to a Barcelonian and raising her child who was born here in Barcelona. 

Since September 2018 Therapy in Barcelona has grown from a solo practice to a group of international psychologists who offer their services as coaches, counsellors, and therapists in Barcelona.

Therapy in Barcelona offers support for adults, individuals, couples, children, adolescents, families, groups and companies. 

All therapists at Therapy in Barcelona are English-speaking and multilingual. Services can also be provided in Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, Afrikaans, Arabic, Gujarati, Urdu, and Portuguese which is not only helpful for individuals, but also for couples in intercultural relationships where the partners speak different languages. 

We understand that therapy is an investment and a big step, so we work to match you with a therapist who has a good fit for your concerns and needs.

All of our therapists are ready to accompany you in working on your goals or exploring the concerns you bring, and all are skilled at providing a confidential, safe and nonjudgmental space.

They have extensive experience, and training, in the frameworks they choose to work in which range from Person-Centered or Humanistic therapies, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Systemic, Narrative, Gestalt, Solution-Focused, Emotion-Focused, Mindfulness-Based, EMDR, and with tools from DBT and other disciplines.

Coming from diverse backgrounds and countries such as Australia, Canada, Finland, Holland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, and the United Kingdom our English-speaking therapists understand the challenges arising in the lives of Barcelona’s international community.
