01Our approach
There is no general formula for a singular story.
We see therapy as a space where you can pause and look more deeply at whatever is causing you distress.
Rather than focusing only on getting rid of a symptom, we try to understand the place it holds in each person’s particular experience. Anxiety, distress, a conflict, a loss or a difficulty that keeps coming back can be the starting point of a broader process of understanding.
Every treatment is built individually. Not everyone comes for the same reasons or needs to follow the same path — so we respect each person’s pace, history and circumstances.
Listening
A professional, warm and respectful space to speak freely.
Singularity
No ready-made solutions: each process is shaped around you.
Depth
Understanding how distress connects with your history and relationships.
02Reasons people come
Sometimes there’s a clear reason. Sometimes just something that persists.
We mainly work with adults and young people going through different moments and life situations.
- 01Anxiety, distress and stress
- 02Relationship difficulties and conflicts
- 03Self-esteem and identity
- 04Attachment-related difficulties
- 05Grief, loss and separation
- 06Personal crises and times of change
- 07Traumatic experiences
- 08Feeling stuck or caught in repeating patterns
- 09Migration processes
- 10Adapting to a new country or culture
- 11Loneliness and uprootedness
- 12Studies and starting a professional life
03Living far from where you started
Moving abroad is not just changing places.
Starting a life in another country can bring excitement and new possibilities — but also losses, contradictions and questions that are hard to share with people who aren’t going through the same thing.
We have a particular interest and experience in supporting migrants, expats and international students: identity, belonging, distance from family and friends back home, culture shock and building new projects.
Therapy can become a space to work through those changes and find your own way of living this chapter.

06First session
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start.
Some people come with a specific reason: anxiety, a loss, a breakup, a conflict or a situation that has become hard to bear.
Others simply feel that something isn’t working the way they’d like, that certain situations keep repeating, or that they need a space to think about what they’re going through.
The first session is a chance to start putting these things into words, get to know how we work and consider how to begin a therapeutic process.
- You writeBy WhatsApp or email — a few words are enough.
- We arrangeDay, format and language.

09FAQ
Things you might want to know.
What is psychoanalytic psychotherapy?
It is a form of therapy that, as well as addressing current distress, seeks to understand how it relates to each person’s history, relationships and unique experience. It isn’t about applying the same technique to everyone, but about building a process from what each person brings.
Do you offer in-person sessions in Barcelona?
Yes. We see clients at two offices in Barcelona — Gràcia (Carrer de Badia, 24) and Sants (Carrer de València, 28) — and we also offer online sessions.
Which languages can I do therapy in?
Between the two of us, sessions are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Sol Galiana works in English and Spanish; Nahuel Ponce in Spanish and Portuguese.
Do you work with expats and international students?
Yes. We have experience supporting migration, cultural adaptation, identity, loneliness, uprootedness and building a new life project.
How long is a session and how much does it cost?
An individual session lasts 45 minutes. There is also a one-hour sliding-scale option from €40. For exact fees and availability, message the therapist directly.
How do I choose a therapist?
Consider language, format, availability and how each of us presents our work. If you’re unsure, write to us and we’ll help you decide.
Do I need to be able to explain what’s happening to me?
No. The first session is also a place to begin finding words for whatever is worrying or troubling you.
