Looking for therapy in English in Málaga?

My name is Elvira. In recent years, I have studied Psychology at the University of Malaga, and subsequently, I have received training at the Soluciones Center in the practice of psychotherapy under the supervision of renowned psychologists and educators such as Alberto Rodríguez Morejón and Alberto Zamanillo.

Currently my job involves helping people to develop the necessary tools to face the challenging situations in their daily life, whether through psychotherapy or by providing psychoeducational workshops and informative talks.

The goal of psychotherapy is to help individuals lead a healthy life and assist them in managing everything related to psychological distress. This is achieved through conversation.

My approach is an integrative model that draws from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, MRI Strategic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Therapy, complemented by Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology.

Reviews

Elvira is very calm and professional. She has helped me a lot in understanding my behavior and anxiety.

Elvira is a great professional, and she is helping me a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone going through difficulties.

My experience in therapy is limited, I was recommended to Elvira, and I like her because she is clear in her words and interacts in the sessions.

An excellent professional with a solid background, very empathetic, and supportive. You can tell she enjoys what she does.

Delighted and impressed by the strong ability to connect and synthesize; your preparation is evident.

Thank you, Elvira, for all the work you have done. You are a great professional, and I would personally recommend you anytime.

Frequently asked questions

When to seek therapy?

Distress, sadness, procrastination, concentration problems, general discomfort, fears, grief, breakups, family conflicts, emotional dependencies, personal development, changing habits, etc.

What are the sessions like?

Sessions last 60 minutes. We discuss the discomfort that brought you to the session, and after a brief pause, I provide my perspective along with tasks to work on at home.

In-person or online treatment?

Finally there is a place to get therapy in English in Málaga. It has been observed that the effectiveness of the treatment is the same, as well as the methods used, so this choice is at your disposal. The online mode is ideal for people who, for some reason, cannot come to the office (in the area of Malaga city or Cuevas de San Marcos), those who live outside of Spain, or those who need a session during vacations.

How long does treatment last?

It is important that the individual receives as few sessions as possible but as many as necessary. The average ranges from 3 to 6 sessions.

How much does a session cost?

The price for my individual sessions is 55€ (online only 45€). If you have financial difficulties, please let me know and I will try to help.

Other work

I have always been a person deeply committed to social causes, and one of the primary motivations that led me to study psychology was the commitment to make this world a better place. For this reason, I not only offer therapy in english in Málaga, but have also collaborated with associations since I was young. I have worked with LGBTQ+ and feminist organizations. In this section, you can find the projects I am involved in to contribute to making this world a better place.

Giving talks about sexual education in schools around Málaga

If you want to book me to give a talk in your school or institute, please contact me.

Talk: What remains after the pandemic, learning to deal with fear

After the pandemic, one of the main lessons is the need to learn how to deal with fear. The global health crisis has confronted us with unknown and concerning situations. Now, more than ever, it is essential to understand and manage our fears to move forward with resilience and adapt to this new reality.
