Therapy for Spaniards abroad
Online therapy in your language, wherever you live
Living abroad brings wonderful things and also an emotional weight that often stays silent: homesickness, the feeling of not quite fitting anywhere, the exhaustion of another language, family across an ocean. Talking about all of that in your mother tongue changes therapy.
I'm Cristina López, a licensed health psychologist in Spain (no. AO11331). I work online in Spanish with people living abroad — UK, Germany, the Netherlands, US, Latin America, or wherever you are.
What people usually bring to therapy
Migration grief
The feeling of having lost something even though you gained a lot: roots, bonds, references.
Homesickness and guilt
Missing family, feeling guilty for not being there — or for being there on visits and not being enough.
Cultural fatigue
The wear of living, working and feeling in another language and other social codes.
Long-distance relationships
Partners, friends or family held together through a screen.
Not feeling from anywhere
Not fully from there, not fully from here — an identity in progress.
Anxiety, sadness or feeling stuck
Symptoms that appear or intensify when you're outside your usual support network.
Why choose a psychologist based in Spain
When you're far away, finding someone who understands your cultural context without having to explain everything from scratch is a relief in itself. References, humour, the way you name what's happening, food, family gatherings, unspoken codes — all of that is already there.
As a licensed health psychologist in Spain I follow the professional ethics of the Spanish General Council of Psychology. I've been working online since 2020 and have supported people in more than a dozen countries.
