Chiara Leoni, Psychologist in Barcelona

These are some of the most common reasons why people decide to begin therapy:

• Depression: when sadness, apathy or a lack of motivation persist over time and affect your wellbeing and relationships.
• Anxiety: when constant worry, fears or difficulty concentrating cause distress in everyday life.
• Stress: when you live in a state of continuous tension, feeling distressed or on alert, and find it difficult to feel calm.
• Postpartum depression: when intense sadness, irritability or guilt develop after the birth of your baby and you need specialist support.
• Emotional intelligence: when, despite your own efforts and the support of those around you, emotional difficulties remain unresolved and affect your inner balance.
• Child psychologist: when a child or adolescent experiences emotional, behavioural or developmental difficulties that require professional support.
• Family psychologist: when there is a need to improve communication, resolve conflicts or strengthen family bonds.
• Families: when conflicts arise at home, causing distress and making it difficult for family members to live together.
• Children and adolescents: when emotional, behavioural or developmental difficulties arise that affect their wellbeing.
• Couples: when communication deteriorates, conflicts recur or the relationship becomes distant and draining.
• Addictions: when substance use or certain behaviours affect health, emotions or personal relationships.
