Well-being Psychotherapy

Mission

Welcome to Well-being Psychotherapy. Alba aims to facilitate and support the mental health of children, adolescents, adults, parents, and the community. She embraces a holistic, integrative approach within the individual and their surroundings.

Alba’s mission is to foster a supportive and nurturing environment where clients can explore their difficulties, gain insight, and find empowerment. She provides a calm and containing space to express yourself, either verbally, through art, or by being aware of your body. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, family dynamics, life transitions, or health crises, She will support you.

Additionally, Alba offers therapy sessions in both Spanish and English.

Her extensive experience encompasses vital roles in educational institutions, private and public sectors, charitable organisations, and governmental bodies. Having personally journeyed through therapy, she possesses a unique empathy and understanding of the courage required to seek help.

Alba's Approach

As a qualified psychotherapist, Alba leverages her versatile toolkit by incorporating various modalities within therapy sessions.

The goal is always to provide you with a customised treatment plan to support your needs, often combining modalities, including but not limited to the following approaches:

Psychodynamic
Person-centred
Humanistic
Attachment Theory
Mindfulness
Expressive Arts
Somatic Approaches

My practice emphasises confidentiality, nonjudgment, and flexibility for both short-term and long-term therapy, either in person at our therapy office or online via Zoom or Teams.

What to Expect in the First Session

During our initial session, our goal is to collaborate and discuss your concerns, aspirations, and therapeutic goals.

Whether you plan for short-term support or a more exploratory journey. The first session is for us to know each other and for you to see how you feel working with me.
