In my therapy practice in Valencia, I use a combination of scientific interventions with an integrated holistic approach, because everyone is unique! My background is in science based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). This has shown to be very helpful when struggling with low mood or depression, anxiety, stress, burn-out and trauma.
On the other hand, it's my passion to provide a more integrated holistic experience by integrating exercises to learn to (re)connect with your inner world of feelings and emotions. This way you develop a stronger sense of who you are and what you want. Live according to your personal values, not values set by society. This results in staying true to yourself and living a more conscious life.
In my Valencia practice, I work with all ages, however my main areas of focus are adults, teens and adolescents and parents of any age. Younger children are welcome but they do need to have a good understanding of language and prior contact to determine suitability is highly advised. I do not provide play therapy.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
The main therapeutic skills I offer are:
Take this unique opportunity to live a more fulfilled life.
The Online Mental Health Support Group is back! Our next meeting is Thursday the 31st of October. The group is open to clients and non clients and is run in English. Free to join for all! You will see the upcoming dates on my events page!
Sometimes you need someone outside your personal circle to help you discover a different perspective on your life situation. Someone that can ask you the right questions to help you dig a little deeper to find more clarity and discover new possibilities on how to tackle difficulties in life. I help people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burn-out and trauma through science based approaches like CBT and ACT.
However, I prefer doing this using a holistic approach to incorporate your whole self and to teach you to connect with your inner world on a deeper level.
In my practice, I also work with cacao and psilocybin. Both of these plant medicines provide powerful to ways to enhance self awareness and boost the therapy process. Cacao is a gentle plant medicine that has the potential to bring clarity and connect you to your heart.
As a therapist, I see a lot of people struggling with depression, anxiety and stress. With the current new wave of therapies in the form of plant medicines, it is no secret that psilocybin assisted therapy has shown great results in mental health treatment. Also available in online form, including assistance with preparation and integration!
Another way to deal with depression is through Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It's a structured online approach, with a strong focus on "doing" whilst being fully supported during weekly online sessions.
Do you want help to deal with depression through this evidence based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program? Then look no further. I offer a tailored but structured 10 week online program to help individuals deal with depression.
On a regular basis, I organise interesting events. Doing things in group format has many benefits. On one hand, I love bringing like minded people together to connect with each other. I also reach a wider audience and it’s accessible for everyone as some of my events are donation based! Currently, I am running a FREE Online Mental Health Support Group. I also regularly host "Ask a Therapist Session" online where you can join for free and ask advice. Click below to see what events are coming soon!

I've worked with Joyce for a few months now and I must say that she knows how to handle different situations and fears, I've open up to many other sensations and feelings I didn't want to and I'm feeling much more positive and happy with myself and all my surroundings. Thank you Joyce!!! You're an angel!!!
Before I started therapy with Joyce, I had no control over my emotions and always tried to push them away, so they always kept coming back. This therapy has helped me a lot, such as allowing my emotions and sitting with them so I could process my past traumas. I am super grateful and learned a lot from Joyce.
Joyce guided our 15 year old daughter. She has helped her with depression, uncertainty about her identity and school dropout. We are very grateful for Joyce and what she has done for our daughter. Joyce is knowledgeable, exudes calm and has an open attitude. Communication was also very pleasant. Thanks again Joyce!
This mini workshop about discovering your values is just the right step to take forward awareness if you never explored this topic, Joyce is very professional and yet informal host that can lead you through this little journey, to get you in contact with something so important and often unknown and forgotten.
Joyce takes a kind and gentle approach to let you look deeper into yourself. She focuses on the goals that you set for help and does not lose it out of sight. If I could, I would see her ongoing at least twice a month. But so far, I've had already a lot of benefit from it.
The workshop was a great platform to explore what my values are and how I am currently aligning to them. Very eye opening. Joyce was a lovely facilitator and I look forward to taking part in more of her offerings. Thanks Joyce!
Joyce and her workshop co-host Daphne created a truly welcoming, free, and supportive atmosphere. I felt very relaxed and had a wonderful time. The workshop lasted only 2h, but I managed to really work through some emotions.
I am so thankful for Joyce to organize this workshop and share her knowledges about ACT. We worked on one of the pillars which are the values and how we can find a balance between the importance we each give to some specific values, versus the time we are really spending on it. This is an ongoing process and exploration, thanks for helping us opening the door and raise awareness!
I have joined few sessions with Joyce so far and I am really glad I did. I felt so relieved after every session I attended. The conversations we had helped me in releasing some of the pressure I had and in guiding me towards trying some new things that could help me in having more inner peace and self-love. Thank you 🙏🏼
