Experienced psychotherapist specialising in the expat experience
Expat Therapy Barcelona is an English and Spanish-speaking practice based in Arenys de Mar founded by trained and licensed psychotherapist Isabel Soler.
Originally from the United States, Isabel supports clients from around the world, specialising in trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and difficulties related to cultural transitions, such as the isolation that can be experienced when living abroad. While Isabel is a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, she is also certified in IFS Level II, EMDR, CHt, TRM, Neurofeedback, and Trauma-Informed Yoga for Mental Health. She has received the Equivalencia accreditation from the Ministerio de Universidades in Spain. Her experience has provided her with extensive training in Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Compassion Focused Therapy, Breathwork, Meditation as well as Mind/Body Approaches to increase and regulate functioning.
Isabel’s method is a combination of traditional psychotherapy approaches and holistic, integrative techniques, tailored to help each client in the way that best suits them and their unique circumstances. She provides a professional, supportive, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment where your concerns can be heard and addressed. As an expat herself, Isabel is a great resource for balancing the difficulties of new beginnings and their connection to past traumatic experiences.
Isabel currently only works with adults and couples. There are online sessions available and Isabel also likes to utilise Instagram to post daily mental health tips and tools. Her website provides useful information for those new to therapy, or interested in trying a new form of therapy or body regulation work. Isabel also offers group sessions in-person or online where you have the opportunity to work with others on improving your ability to regulate and nourish your nervous system.
Expat Therapy Barcelona is available by appointment only.
My approach to therapy is holistic and comprehensive; based not only on all that I have learned through my own life’s experiences but also on my continued love for professional training, research, and study.
