Alex Beisani

Graduate from the University of Barcelona.

Psychologist graduated from the University of Barcelona, member of the College of Psychologists of Catalonia and qualified as a General Health Psychologist.

I have specialized in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). I have worked with adults and adolescents, both individually and in groups, in clinics and therapeutic communities as well as in offices. While in Spain I grew up on a cognitive-behavioral basis, during my time in England I was surrounded by a humanistic approach.

At the age of 24 I was given my first opportunity in the world of mental health and, after more than 10 years and several experiences, today it continues to be my passion.

As I said, I specialized in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), which is a cognitive-behavioral therapy with a philosophical basis and supported by the scientific community.

At the same time that I have been training and acquiring academic knowledge, I have had the good fortune to be enriched by great professionals who have helped me to have an integrative vision of the therapeutic process. My experience in different countries with different approaches has been very rewarding and enriching. This integrative approach allows me to offer you what I feel may be most favorable to your well-being in each case. I always felt that the branches of psychology are like speaking a language, the important thing is to find the language the patient speaks in order to connect and to be able to carry out the work.

I am characterized by unconditional acceptance, respect and admiration for each of the people I have had in front of me, I have always trusted that we all want to be well and aligned with ourselves. Responsibility, ethics and professionalism have gone hand in hand in all the areas in which I have worked.

Something that characterizes my way of working is that I try that you learn to be your own therapist, that you understand yourself and understand the meaning and why:

your thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

I have always considered my patients to be the map, they are the experts on themselves, I only act as a compass, as a guide. You are the one who really knows where we want to go, my job is to help you get to the destination..
