Expat Therapy
“It is a bitter-sweet thing, knowing two cultures. Once you leave your birthplace nothing is ever the same.”
― Sarah Turnbull, Almost French: Love and a New Life in Paris
We are passionate about the mental health and wellbeing of Barcelona’s expats.
We know what it is like to feel rootless, to brave the fear and excitement of leaving your country of origin. We know what it is like to raise children without a village, to feel isolated and lonely, to experience culture shock, homesickness, grief and loss and all the other challenges and stresses of transitioning to life in Barcelona.
If you notice that you are finding it hard to see the good in being in Barcelona, focused on the negatives, feeling down, and lonely, contact us.
We can walk beside you, hear your concerns and facilitate you to develop strategies and perspectives that allow you to relate differently to yourself and your life in Barcelona. We can also assist you to explore your values and whether Barcelona is the place for you right now.

Culture shock
Homesickness
Feelings of anxiety
