Dr Jose López | Clinical Psychologist

Has your life -abroad or at home- dream become a shadow of what you hoped it would be?
Does your past limit you in making the changes you’d like to make?
Is this impacting your decisions and how you relate to your partner or others?
I am a CBT and EMDR accredited Clinical psychologist to help with…
Depression / Low mood
Anxiety / Stress
Trauma / PTSD
Couple difficulties
Expat life difficulties
Other issues
Whether or not you are an expat, life’s journey is not to be travelled alone.
Therapy gives you the space and the tools you need to regain control.
Your journey begins with a call.
Welcome.
Supporting the journey of individuals and couples
There are lots of reasons why people use therapy to improve their lives. From career advancement to better understanding yourself, living with grief, dealing with anxiety, and combatting depression. These can be triggered off by having moved abroad, but can happen regardless.
The models I use -CBT, ACT and EMDR therapy, you can read more about them clicking above- are well-known strategies that can help people across a range of day-to-day challenges.
You don’t need to be an expat to benefit from my work. In fact, most times people seek therapy for issues they do not connect necessarily to living in a foreign country. That is only a background factor, important, but not necessary to focus on. Regardless, the therapy I provide is designed for you if you feel like something is stopping you from being the person you want to be. Whether that’s at work or with your relationships with other people and yourself, we can lift those barriers together.
What happens next…
1. Brief initial phone conversation
2. Deciding if therapy is required and
we are a good fit
3. Arranging a first session - online or face-to-face in Barcelona
My approach as a clinical psychologist
In my practice, I focus on action-oriented techniques to help you move forward, not just talk things through. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we set proactive, present-focused goals. When challenges are tied to past experiences, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help clear the way for you to become who you want to be.
My goal is to help you notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings early and use specific techniques to manage them. In short, I aim to empower you to be your own therapist.
“My experience was so thorough and effective. Jose was very professional the whole way through, very clear about what to expect from treatment and I can say the results were fantastic.”

Online CBT and EMDR practice
Life has changed a lot over the past few years, and therapy is no exception. Before 2020, online therapy was fairly new, but it quickly became popular during the pandemic lockdowns.
While some wondered if it could match in-person therapy, research shows that online sessions for individuals and couples can be just as effective for issues like depression, anxiety, and trauma-based difficulties. Thanks to its effectiveness, accessibility, and convenience, online CBT and EMDR are here to stay.
