Providing a safe and non-judgemental space to explore and reconnect with your partner.

about paula
unnamed (3)_edited_edited.jpg

Originally from Spain, I have had the privilege of working in Shanghai, Sydney, Amsterdam, Madrid, and Lisbon as a licensed psychologist and couples therapist for the past 12 years.

​

I currently offer relationship counselling both in person in Zurich and online across Switzerland, where I am recognized as a FSP psychologist at the federal level.​

 

Since completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology in 2013, I have specialized in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) with a focus on working with international couples.

​

EFCT is the only evidenced-based approach for treating ralationship distress, recognized by the American Psychological Association for its effectiveness.

​

 

I am fascinated by the power of relationships and passionate about supporting couples in finding their way back to each other, bringing together my professional expertise, personal experience and shared humanity.
