Real People, Real Opinions: What clients say

  • As a psychotherapist, Nina is world-class!

    She possesses an innate intelligence that allows her to intently listen to my thoughts and experiences and reflect them back to me in a way I can understand, digest, and use to grow as a person. At the center of her approach is her deep empathy, which is palpable during each session. She has fundamentally changed the way I see the world and, perhaps most remarkably, myself.

    — MKS, Medical Student, New York City

  • Working with Nina has changed my life!

    I cannot over-emphasise the extent to which working with Nina has changed my life. From the start, Nina made me feel comfortable and safe, and made it possible for me to work through and process these issues that had been impacting my life so negatively. My relationships and my self-esteem have improved. I now see therapy as an invaluable investment that pays back many times over what you put in – so long as you’re working with the right professional. Nina is compassionate, insightful, and extremely emotionally intelligent, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as a therapist.

    — LC, Artist, Dublin

  • We highly recommend Nina!

    We have been seeing Nina for several years now, and we can't express enough how valuable the experience has been. From the very first session, Nina created a warm and welcoming environment that made us feel comfortable and supported. Her empathic and professional approach has helped us navigate through some challenging times with greater clarity, perspective and resilience. What I appreciate most about Nina is her ability to listen deeply and offer insights and strategies that are tailored to our personal needs. She strikes a perfect balance between being compassionate and offering constructive guidance. Thanks to her support, we have gained new perspectives and (more importantly) tools that have significantly helped in improving our relationship, and personal mental well-being. If you are considering therapy for the first time or looking to continue your journey with someone who genuinely cares and is exceptionally skilled, we highly recommend Nina. 💛

  • She truly listened to my needs

    I worked with Nina for several months, first in a couple therapy setting and then on my own. She is a very intelligent and empathetic person and I was very comfortable with her from the very beginning. As others have said, her approach is very gentle, and she is also very observant and attentive. I always looked forward to our sessions, and I could see that she had prepared for each of them, so we could not only pick up right where we had left, but she was also ready to provide additional insights. When I needed to switch gears and move toward a more pragmatic approach, she truly listened to my needs and was able to support me in a different way. I think she is an excellent therapist and I recommend her without hesitations.

  • Professional, skilled, deeply empathetic and kind

    Working with Nina has been a truly life-changing experience for us. Her compassion, understanding, and expertise created a safe and supportive space where we could openly share and grow. Through her sessions, we were able to navigate challenges that once felt overwhelming, and her guidance has genuinely transformed our relationship and outlook on life. Nina’s insights and tools continue to positively impact us every day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the progress we’ve made with her support. If you’re looking for a therapist who is not only professional and skilled but also deeply empathetic and kind, we wholeheartedly recommend Nina. She’s truly exceptional!

    — O.L. (verified Google review)

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVED NINA!

    She created a safe space and was so willing to let me share my thoughts and opinions throughout the process. I learned entirely new perspectives and felt I left each time with a better understanding of past concepts.

    — A.D., Psychology student, Miami

  • Nina’s style is very gentle and delicate

    I worked with Nina for about a year after I had my baby. I had already been working with a therapist, but when I became a parent, I felt like I needed somebody who could relate to what I was going through personally, so Nina was recommended. Nina’s style is very gentle and delicate and I felt very supported. Our sessions ended a while ago, but having her support through that very specific moment in my life was really valuable for me. Thanks Nina 🙏🏽😊.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I get started, and who do you work with?
    You can reach out via the contact form to schedule an initial session. The first session is a space to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and decide how we might best work together.
    I work with adult clients (18 and older), both individuals and couples, with the option of occasionally including a partner, friend, or family member if this supports the process.

    How long are sessions and how often do we meet?
    Each session lasts 50 minutes, allowing time for a full session and a short pause between clients, ensuring I can be fully present with each person I meet. Frequency depends on your needs, some clients prefer weekly sessions, others biweekly or even monthly. We’ll discuss what feels right for you during our first meeting.

    How long does therapy usually take?
    This varies from person to person and depends on what brings you to therapy. Some clients come for short-term, goal-oriented work, while others prefer a longer-term process to explore deeper patterns. We’ll discuss what feels right for you during our initial sessions.

    What are your fees and payment methods?
    Please contact me directly for fee details and available options. Sessions can be paid via bank transfer or Wise.

    What if I need to cancel a session?
    If you need to cancel a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance, so I can offer the slot to another client.
    Cancelations made less than 24 hours before the session are subject to charge.

    Do you offer both online and in-person sessions in Barcelona?
    Yes, I offer both formats. In-person sessions are held at Carrer del Rosselló 88, Entresuelo, Puerta Tercera, 08029 Barcelona, and online sessions for clients in Spain, across Europe and internationally. You’re welcome to switch between formats depending on your needs or location, as I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate different time zones.

    What languages do you offer therapy in?
    I offer sessions in German (native), English, Spanish, and Dutch, and I also speak Italian, Catalan, and French at an advanced level. Having lived abroad for many years and worked across several cultures, I know first-hand how language shapes emotional experience and self-expression, something I take into account when working multilingually with clients.

  • What types of therapy do you offer?
    My work is integrative. I combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, with Systemic Relational Therapy (SRT), which explores how relationships and emotional contexts influence well-being. This approach takes into account your emotional and relational world to support understanding, healing, and lasting change.

    You can read more about this under Therapy.

  • Why is cultural sensitivity important in therapy?
    Cultural sensitivity is fundamental in my approach to therapy. The recognition of how culture influences values, communication, emotional expression and identity is paramount for an authentic therapy experience. In a cross-cultural context, this awareness fosters understanding, helps prevent misunderstandings, and creates space for your full identity to be seen, something especially important when living abroad or between cultures. 

    What are the benefits of bilingual or multilingual therapy?
    Most people that have grown up with different languages and/or are living between cultures think, feel, and process emotions in more than one language. Bilingual or multilingual therapy offers the flexibility to express yourself in whichever language feels most natural in the moment. I actively consider how culture, language, and personal background influence emotions and relationships, which allows deeper emotional access, supports identity integration, and helps bridge the gap between your current and native cultural contexts.

    Do you work with expats, intercultural couples, and international clients?
    Yes, I have extensive experience supporting expats, intercultural couples, and international clients in managing adaptation, belonging, and communication across cultures.
    As an expat myself and a university lecturer in Cross-Cultural Psychology and The Global Psychology of Happiness and Well-Being, I bring both personal and academic understanding to this work.

  • Are sessions confidential?
    Yes, everything shared in our sessions is strictly confidential.
    Only in exceptional cases, for example, if there is an imminent risk to your safety or that of others, am I legally required to share information, and even then, only in ways that protect your integrity as much as possible. Confidentiality and trust are central to my work, and you are always free to choose what information you feel comfortable sharing.

    What do I do if I need help urgently?
    If you are in crisis or need urgent psychological support, please contact your local hospital or the emergency number 112. I do not provide emergency services and am only available during office hours. If you are outside Spain, please contact your local hospital, local emergency number or crisis hotline in your country.
