Evaluation
A good intervention depends on a good evaluation, since if we fully understand the dynamics of the situation and all the factors associated with it, the techniques will be more effective and therapy will take less time.
Dialogue and observation allow us to do a good analysis, but we also have various types of interviews, questionnaires and psychological tests that give us valuable information to understand your reality, your resources and personal characteristics. According to the results, a diagnostic impression is established.
According to the results, a diagnostic impression is established and we determine if your case is viable through online therapy, which is viable in most cases. If you require a more specific intervention with techniques that cannot be applied online, we would suggest face-to-face therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is online therapy and how does it work?
Online psychological therapy is characterised by therapeutic meetings via video call, using the technological facilities we currently have to connect with each other as an alternative to face-to-face therapy.
It is a space where you can make a journey towards aspects of yourself that you consider important in the company of a professional who has extensively studied all aspects related to our human psychology. Therefore, it is a safe space where you can observe, feel, re-signify, conclude and act according to the objectives that are important to you at a given moment in your life and that generate emotional well-being.
Psychological meetings consist of a dialogue where active listening and reflection allow us to realise the best way to deal with our emotional concerns; this dialogue is supported, depending on the case, with activities or dynamics inside and outside the sessions aimed at achieving the therapeutic objectives.
The first part of the psychological evaluation is the assessment, where the idea is to get to know you: how you think, how you feel, how you act, how your body reacts in relation to your particular context and the reason for your consultation. Then follows the intervention, where we apply the most effective psychological techniques to achieve your goals, then we follow up to reinforce the results achieved.
What are the advantages of online therapy?
The main advantages of online therapy are that you can connect from the comfort of wherever you are, transcending distances, and on the other hand, it saves travel time and investment in transport.
Additionally, it allows you to continue a therapeutic process when there are changes in circumstances such as a change of home or country, as well as an injury or illness that prevents or makes it difficult to travel.
If I have online therapy, will I get better?
Online therapy can work with the most often consulted mental health problems. Improvement depends on several factors such as consistency, openness to treatment, teamwork within therapy, and a good evaluation that facilitates understanding of the case and thus determining the most effective techniques for each case. Given all of these factors a significant improvement is achieved.
However, there are specific psychological disorders that require techniques where face-to-face contact is essential.
It is important to work with young children face-to-face because their brain development requires tangible, concrete contact with both people and the elements involved in therapy.
