Psychological Therapy and Executive Coaching
Welcome! I am Sara, an English-speaking Chartered Psychologist based in Barcelona, offering therapy and coaching to clients worldwide. With over 15 years experience of helping adults of diverse cultures and backgrounds, I tackle lifestyle and work challenges, health problems and emotional issues in a compassionate and solution-focused manner. If you feel that change is proving challenging, my goal is to enable you to regain control and balance of your life, relationships and career.
As a therapist, I specialise in treating anxiety, stress and burnout, relationship and adjustment difficulties, and other emotional concerns. My approach is practical, integrative and personalised to your needs, with a focus on developing your personal toolkit to build psychological flexibility and resilience, and optimise your wellbeing.
In a corporate and Business Psychology capacity, I work with Boards to support executive development and wellbeing through tailored coaching, unlocking insights and capacities that support the individual, organisation and society more broadly.
Sessions are in-person and online, depending on your needs.

What is therapy?
Choosing the right therapist can sometimes be confusing, as unlike medical treatment, there are fewer guideposts in finding effective, science-based care. Making the first call or email can often feel uncomfortable, and deciding to tolerate such feelings is admirable. If you’re new to therapy, this TIME magazine article is an excellent overview of the process of finding the right therapist for you.

Expat Therapy and Coaching
As an expat myself, I understand the unique challenges that come with living, studying and working abroad – not only the excitement and possibility of living as an expat, but also the difficulties of moving, settling, and feeling grounded in a new home. From the culture shock and feelings of homesickness to the lack of sleep and despairing over paperwork, expats can easily succumb to stress and mental health challenges. I can help you find your balance and grounding when you feel uprooted and displaced.
There are common challenges that many expats experience which may be triggered or exacerbated by their life abroad. Some examples include:
Diminished self-confidence or self-esteem
A feeling of not belonging or being on the outside
Feeling homesick and isolated missing well-loved comforts or climate
The challenges of bureaucracy and red tape and understanding new systems or work
Difficulty adjusting to the new culture
Family misunderstandings
Relationship conflict
