How Therapy Works: Finding Calm and Clarity, Wherever You Are in Spain

Starting therapy can feel like a big step — especially when you’re living abroad. You might wonder whether counselling “works” online, or if it’s possible to find the right support in a different country or language.

The good news is that therapy doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s simply a space where you can pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s going on — with someone who listens, without judgement.

What Happens in a Session

Each session is confidential and focused entirely on you.


You might come wanting to explore:

  • Anxiety, low mood, or feeling “stuck”

  • Relationship or family challenges

  • Adjusting to expat life

  • Grief, loss, or change

  • Questions of purpose, identity, or direction

You don’t need to know exactly what you want to talk about. Many people begin therapy simply because something doesn’t feel quite right — and together, we start to untangle why.

Sessions are usually 50 minutes long and take place online. Some people prefer a short-term focus on a particular issue, while others value longer-term support to explore deeper patterns and self-understanding.

Online Therapy — Flexible, Private, and Effective

In my experience, online therapy is as powerful as meeting in person and many people find it more convenient because it offers:

  • Flexibility — sessions wherever you are in Spain or abroad

  • Privacy — attend from home, without travel or parking

  • Consistency — even when you’re travelling or moving between locations

Research shows that online therapy can be equally effective in helping people feel better, gain insight, and make lasting change.

All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.

Choosing to Begin

Therapy isn’t about being “broken” or needing to be fixed. It’s about giving yourself space to listen inwardly — to understand your emotions, patterns, and choices with more kindness and clarity.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific difficulty or simply want to feel more settled in yourself, therapy offers a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

You’re welcome to reach out if you’d like to know more about how sessions work or what to expect from counselling on the Costa del Sol.
It starts with a simple conversation.
