Patricia Almohalla Alvarez registered Counselling Psychologist (HCPC)

About me

I am a registered Counselling Psychologist. The nature of my practice is mainly humanistic although I implement other techniques as well.

Throughout the therapeutic process I apply Gestalt Therapy methodology which enable us to focus on our immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to better understand the way we relate to others. And the techniques that I implement:  repair scenes and visualizations, relaxation techniques, narrative techniques, projective techniques (paintings), empty chair, dream work,  the Enneagram of personality, etc.

Since I am a psychologist as well I also utilise cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) especially to treat  anxiety and depression. Furthermore I have completed a Mindfulness Course based on Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and subsequently I also implement Mindfulness techniques with my clients.

My expertise is the use of creativity and experiential techniques in the therapeutic process since I have studied Dramatic Arts as well. Also reproductive psychology and infertility problems.

I am very compassionate person, supportive and warm who will help you to deal with the difficulties of life.

As I am originally from Spain I offer counselling in Spanish and English. Skype and face to face.
