Child Psychologist in Barcelona
At my practice in Les Corts (Barcelona), I support children in understanding their emotions, building confidence and strengthening their emotional wellbeing, both in person and through online therapy.
A warm, respectful space adapted to their own pace, where they can feel heard and understood.
Why See a Child Psychologist in Barcelona?
Every child experiences and expresses their emotions in their own unique way
Sometimes, behind a change in mood, prolonged sadness or challenging behaviour, there is something that needs to be heard and understood calmly
Seeing a child psychologist does not mean that there is a serious problem. It means offering your child a safe and trusting space where they can understand what they are feeling, build confidence and restore their emotional wellbeing
With empathy, warmth and respect, I support families who want to help their children feel better emotionally and grow with greater calm and balance
How Can You Tell If Your Child Needs Psychological Support?
Sometimes children do not know how to say that something is wrong, so they show it through their behaviour or emotions
You may notice that your child is more irritable, is afraid of being separated from you, has difficulty sleeping, or simply no longer enjoys the things they used to
They may also withdraw, become easily frustrated or experience difficulties at school or with other children. These changes do not always indicate a serious problem, but they can be a sign that your child needs a space where they can express themselves and feel understood
Seeking professional support at this stage can make a real difference, helping to prevent emotional distress from increasing and strengthening their emotional wellbeing
Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties I Support in Childhood
Every therapeutic process is unique, but there are situations that commonly arise during childhood and can cause emotional distress
In my work as a child psychologist, I support children experiencing:
- Anxiety, fears or insecurities
- Changes in behaviour or difficulty managing frustration
- Sadness, low mood or low self-esteem
- Difficulties relating to other children or family members
- Attention or concentration difficulties
- Life changes such as separation, moving home or bereavement
In every case, the aim is for the child to feel understood, to be able to express what they are feeling without fear and to learn how to regulate their emotions in a healthy way
I also provide families with practical guidance so they can better understand what their child needs and support them more calmly at home
Child and Adolescent Psychological Support
I am a child, adolescent and family psychologist, specialising in the emotional support of children and teenagers through a warm, respectful and non-judgemental approach
When working with children, I create a relationship of trust where they can express themselves freely and feel understood. I use play, creativity and age-appropriate conversation to help them recognise their emotions, understand what is happening to them and find new ways to cope with difficulties
With teenagers, the therapeutic space focuses on strengthening communication, self-esteem and emotional regulation, supporting them through this stage of change and personal discovery
The process also includes guidance for families, helping them support their child with understanding and calm while gaining a clearer understanding of their emotions and needs at home
If you are looking for a child psychologist in Barcelona or would prefer online psychological support, I can help you find the most suitable approach for your child

Frequently Asked Questions About Child Psychology
When Should You See a Child Psychologist?
If you notice that your child seems sadder, more irritable or is having difficulty expressing how they feel, it may be a good time to seek support. Child psychology can help prevent emotional distress from becoming more severe and strengthen their emotional wellbeing
How Do I Know If My Child Needs Psychological Help?
Some signs may include mood changes, intense fears, sleep problems, withdrawal or challenging behaviour. Support may also be helpful if your child has experienced a major change or loss and appears to be struggling to adapt
How Does a Child Psychologist Work?
The process is adapted to the child’s age and personality. Tools such as play, drawing and guided conversation are used so that children can naturally express what they are feeling and learn how to manage their emotions
What Happens During the First Session?
During the first appointment, we talk about what is concerning you and look at the situation together. It is a pressure-free meeting designed to understand what is happening and how best to support your child
Do You Also Work With Families?
Yes. In many cases, psychological support includes guidance for mothers, fathers or guardians, with the aim of improving communication and strengthening emotional connection at home
How Long Does Child Psychological Support Last?
Every process is different. Some situations can be resolved in just a few sessions, while others require more time. The important thing is to follow the child’s pace without forcing the process, while prioritising trust and wellbeing
Can We Have Sessions Online?
Yes. I also offer online therapy for families who cannot travel to the practice or who live outside Barcelona. Online sessions provide the same level of closeness and ongoing support as in-person sessions
What Is the Difference Between Child Therapy and Psychological Support?
Psychological support is a broader approach, focused on supporting the child’s emotions and personal development, rather than only treating a specific problem. In both cases, the aim is for the child to feel comfortable with themselves and their environment
