Presentation
Hello, my name is María Cóndor Fernández and I am General Health Psychologist.
At the Cips Malaga centre, I offer my services to children and young people, as this is a fundamental stage in their development, and it is therefore advisable to intervene as early as possible in the event of any difficulty in order to prevent a large number of later problems, involving the parents in this process. In addition, I also work with the adult population. I do all of this always taking into account a series of ethical standards and principles for my work: honesty, trust, confidentiality, understanding, rigour, scientific evidence, knowledge of the objectives of the assessment and intervention, clarity and responsibility.
