Psychologist in Málaga, with an online practice
PhD in Psychology and lecturer at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Málaga. I see patients by video call, in Spanish and English.
The same judgement I teach at the university
I teach at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Málaga and I have spent years researching the relationship between sleep, biological rhythms and mental health. That is my other life. In this one, the practice, I apply what I teach: that a treatment has to rest on what the evidence says works, not on what sounds good.
Málaga has many good psychologists. What I add is a doctorate, the judgement that comes from doing research, and a way of working that is brief by design: systemic, strategic and solution-focused models built to solve the specific problem you bring. That is why most of the processes I see are resolved in five sessions on average, spread over a few months. And the whole therapy is led by me: there is no rotating team.
Online for the whole province
I see people by video call from Málaga city and the whole province: Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Rincón de la Victoria, Vélez-Málaga, Alhaurín, Antequera or Ronda. For anyone living in the Axarquía or inland, having the psychologist an hour away by car was the reason not to go; by video call that reason disappears.
For families and couples the format has an advantage of its own: each person joins from wherever they are. Separated parents in different towns, a son or daughter studying away, or a teenager who accepts a video call from their room far more readily than walking into a practice with the whole family.
What I treat
How to start
I never see anyone for the first time without having spoken on the phone first. You call or message me, we talk for ten minutes at no cost, you tell me what is going on and I tell you frankly whether I can help with it. If I can, we set the first session.
Do you see patients in Málaga?
Not in person. I teach at the Faculty of Psychology, in Teatinos, but the practice is online, by video call. That way I see someone from the centre of Málaga, from Rincón de la Victoria or from Antequera in the same way, without anyone having to travel.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a PhD in Psychology?
A doctorate does not license you to treat: that comes from the clinical accreditation and professional registration, which I hold (AO-09283). What it adds is training in scientific method: knowing how to read a study, telling what has evidence from what merely sounds good, and applying that judgement to each case. It is the same judgement I teach future psychologists at the university.
How much does a psychologist in Málaga cost?
My session costs €100. Most of the processes I see are resolved in five sessions on average, that is, around €500 for the whole course of treatment, spread over several months. Before the first session we talk for a few minutes on the phone, at no cost, to see whether I can help.
Do you offer family and couples therapy in Málaga?
Yes, and they are the formats most often requested from Málaga. By video call they have one concrete advantage: each member joins from wherever they are, so separated parents living in different towns, or a teenager who does not want to walk into a practice with the whole family, can take part just the same.
Shall we talk for ten minutes?
No cost, no commitment. You tell me what is going on and I tell you whether I can help.
