YOU'RE NOT TOO MUCH. YOU'RE JUST WIRED DIFFERENTLY.Neuroaffirming Therapist in Barcelona
Therapy and coaching for children, teens and adults, in person in Barcelona and online, in English.
I specialise in ADHD, autism, burnout, anxiety and life after a late diagnosis.
About Serena
Therapist and coach, specialising in neurodivergent support.
After 15 years helping companies apply psychology to their teams, a late diagnosis sent me back to study, and into my true calling.
Now I help neurodivergent children, teens and adults understand their brain and nervous system, let go of the shame they’ve carried, and ask for what they need.
My training spans a Bachelor of Commerce, a Graduate Diploma in Counselling, NLP Master Practitioner training, Advanced Life Coach certification and Pilates instruction, as varied as the people I work with.
How I work
You’re at the centre of our sessions. We go at your pace, and I adapt to how your brain works, not the other way round.
Neuroaffirming, always. I’m not here to make you more “normal”. Your brain isn’t broken. It works differently, and therapy should start from that.
You set the pace. We go as deep or as gently as you need, and I adapt to how you think, process and communicate, not the other way round.
Understanding first, then tools. A lot of the people I work with have spent years asking “why am I like this?” We start by making sense of your brain and nervous system, then build practical skills you can use in everyday life.
What to expect
Free discovery call (15 minutes): we talk about what’s going on and whether we’re a good fit.
First session: we get to know your story, your challenges and your strengths, and set goals together.
Ongoing sessions: weekly or fortnightly, depending on what you need.
Individual Therapy
For children, teens and adults, in English, in person in Barcelona or online from anywhere.
I can help with
ADHD and autism, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and life after a late or suspected diagnosis.
Children and teens
Talking isn’t always the easiest way in for younger clients. I often use play, creative and art therapies so children and teens can explore what they’re feeling in ways that feel natural and safe.
