Helena García Lopez
CHILD AND ADULT PSYCHOLOGY
Presentation
My name is Helena García López and I am General Health Psychologist. I have been practising psychological intervention since 2005. I have lived and worked as a psychology professional in Germany and the United States of America in the field of child, adolescent and adult psychology. For me, the socio-cultural component is very important because it helps to contextualise the problems posed by each person and to individualise interventions more accurately. My work is based on respect for and compliance with the Code of Ethics of the Official College of Psychologists in Spain.
