Psicología - Barcelona Sant Gervasi

English-speaking psychologist in Barcelona

A multidisciplinary team supporting Barcelona's international community — therapy, neuropsychological assessment and child & family care, all in English. In Sant Gervasi and online.

Not just another expat therapist

Most English-speaking practices in Barcelona are solo counsellors. We're a full clinical team — and that changes what we can do for you.

Typical expat practice

What’s covered
- A single therapist working alone
- Counselling or talk therapy only
- No formal diagnostic assessments
- Limited child & teen specialisation
- Often fully remote, no local base

Our services in English

Whatever brings you in, we'll match you with the right specialist on our team.

Neuropsychological assessment

Educational and cognitive assessments in English — ADHD, dyslexia, learning difficulties and giftedness. Full reports written to a standard international schools accept.

Children & teens

Anxiety, school adjustment, identity, friendships and the unique challenges of Third Culture Kids.

Adults & couples

Anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, grief and the emotional side of relocation.

Family support

Parenting in a new culture, supporting a struggling teen, navigating school choices and family transitions abroad.

Relocation & adjustment

Culture shock, homesickness, isolation, the "trailing spouse" experience and building a life that feels like home.

Living abroad is harder than people admit

Building a life in a new country sounds like an adventure — until the loneliness creeps in, your child struggles at school in a language they barely speak, or your relationship feels the strain of doing everything far from home.

You don't have to translate your emotions into a second language to be understood. We work in English, we understand the international experience, and we connect you with the local system when you need it — school, GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist.

Therapy in your own language lets you explore what really matters — without the effort of translation getting in the way.

Más información práctica

Do your therapists really work in fluent English?

Yes. We offer therapy and assessment in fluent English, as well as Spanish and Catalan. You'll never have to struggle to express something subtle because of a language barrier.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

No. In Spain you can see a psychologist directly without a GP referral. Just contact us and we'll arrange your first appointment.

Can I claim sessions on my international health insurance?

We work privately and provide itemised invoices that most international insurers accept for reimbursement. Check your policy's outpatient mental health cover, and we'll provide whatever documentation you need.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes, for therapy. Online works well if you travel often, live outside Barcelona or simply prefer it. Neuropsychological assessments are done in person at our Sant Gervasi clinic.

Where are you located?

Our clinic is at Vía Augusta 42, in Sant Gervasi — well connected by FGC Gràcia, metro Fontana and several bus lines, with public parking nearby.

How do I get started?

The easiest way is to book a free 15-minute intro call by WhatsApp or phone. We'll understand what you're looking for and match you with the right specialist on the team.
