Psychology Services

GRAP is formed by a group of professionals working in mental health. With over 10 years experience in the prevention and treatment of psychological difficulties and disorders, the professionals in our multidisciplinary team can help you transform suffering in an opportunity for personal growth and for improving interpersonal relationships.

Our therapeutic approach is based on the belief that we all possess the basic tools to improve our emotional wellbeing, although occasionally it is necessary for a professional to help us discover our own resources. Our clinical practice seeks to work in collaboration with clients in order to strengthen their resources, so that they can find their own, preferred pathways and solutions. Generally, relatively short therapeutic interventions are enough to help clients uncover and use their personal strengths.

• individual therapy for adults, children and adolescents
• couple therapy

Child and Adolescent psychology
Our work with children and adolescents is carried out in close collaboration with their family, and, when appropriate, also with other health and educational professionals involved in the child or adolescent’s life. We believe in an integrative approach to child and adolescent mental health that does not focus solely on the child or adolescent as the “problem carrier”, but expands psychological intervention to the family circle, where positive change can be promoted and maintained.

Some of the difficulties we work with include:
- Mood disorders (depression, lack of motivation, pervasive sadness)
- Conduct disorders (oppositional, defiant and disruptive behaviour, impulsivity)
- Anxiety disorders (stress, generalized anxiety, phobias, fears)
- Sleep disorders (nightmares, sleep refusal)
- Eating disorders 
- Sphincter control difficulties (enuresis, encopresis)
- Coping with physical illness and pain
- Loss, bereavement and grief
- Difficulties linked to migration (socio-cultural adaptation, family separation...)
- Coping with parental separation or divorce
- Sibling rivalry / jealousy
- Low self-esteem
- Bullying
- Poor social skills
- Specific and generalised learning difficulties (dyslexia, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, difficulties with concentration…)
- Autistic spectrum disorders

Systemic and family therapy
Systemic therapy is based on the principle that “no man is an island”: we all exist within a number of “systems” or contexts (family, social, professional/academic) where we relate and communicate with others. Our surroundings and the interpersonal relationships we establish with other people shape who we are and strongly influence our psychological wellbeing.
GRAP’s systemic therapy service offers the opportunity to work on psychological difficulties from a contextual perspective, where various members of a given system (such as a family) are involved in therapy to promote and maintain positive change.

Online psychology

We can offer online psychological therapy through conference calls, as well as brief email consultations (2-3 emails are usually needed).
