Couples Therapy in Barcelona

Couples therapy with a Gestalt approach

Perhaps you keep arguing about the same thing, avoid certain subjects, or no longer know how to talk without each of you defending your own version. In therapy we can look at what happens between you and what you want to do with it.

What is couples therapy?

Couples therapy is not a courtroom or a place to decide who is right. It is a space to notice what happens between you when you try to get closer, ask for something, protect yourselves, or resolve a difference. And to understand more clearly what each of you needs and what the relationship needs.

Do you relate?

Situations that may feel a little too familiar

You argue about the same things over and over

Conflicts repeat without resolution. You feel like you talk but don't listen to each other.
You've emotionally drifted apart

You live together, but the emotional connection has cooled. You feel lonely within the relationship.
You can't communicate without hurting

Important conversations end in blame, silence, or slamming doors.
You've experienced a trust crisis

An infidelity, a lie, or a situation that broke trust. You want to know if rebuilding is possible.
You're at a crossroads

You don't know whether to stay together or go your separate ways. You need clarity.
You want to improve your relationship

You're not in crisis, but you feel things could be better. You want to invest in your relationship.

My approach

How I work with couples

In Gestalt couples therapy, I don't look for who's right. I work with what happens between you: how you communicate, how you listen, what you need, and what patterns keep repeating.

There is room for both of you

You do not need to arrive agreeing on what is happening. I want to hear both experiences without turning the session into a distribution of blame.

We look at what happens between you

What one of you does when the other pulls away. What happens just before the usual argument. And how, almost without noticing, you end up in the same place again.

We work with what is happening now

The past can help us understand, but we also notice how you speak, interrupt, protect yourselves, or stop listening to one another during the session itself.

Sometimes we try something different

Pause before answering. Make a request without turning it into a reproach. Hear something without preparing a defence. We try and see what happens; there is no formula that works in the same way for every couple.

What we can look at

In couples therapy we pause here

The argument you keep having

What happens just before it, what each of you is trying to achieve, and how a conversation becomes the same fight again.

What you need —and how you ask for it

Because needing closeness and asking for it as a reproach do not usually produce exactly the same result.

How you protect yourselves

One insists. The other closes down. One moves away. The other pursues. We look at what this protection does and what it is costing you.

The decision that belongs to you

Stay together, change how you are together, or separate. I can help you bring clarity to that decision, but I cannot make it for you.

Frequently asked questions

Answering your questions

Sessions last 1 hour and 30 minutes. There is room for both of you to explain how you experience the relationship. We also notice what happens between you while you talk: how you listen, defend yourselves, move away, or try to get closer.

It is important that both of you agree to take part, although you do not need to arrive equally convinced or with the same explanation of what is happening. That difference can also be part of the work.

There is no number that can be known in advance. It depends on what you want to work on, the point the relationship has reached, and what emerges in the sessions. We review it together during the process.

It can make sense in some cases, but it is important to consider who holds each space and for what purpose. We discuss it first to protect confidentiality and avoid mixing roles.

Yes. Video calls allow us to work with the conversation and with what happens between you during the session. It is not identical to meeting in person, and we consider whether this format fits your situation.

What if this were your moment?

You do not need to arrive with a shared version or a decision already made. We can meet, hear what each of you brings, and see whether starting with me feels right.
