Presentation

I am Raquel HurtadoI am a health psychologist and educational counsellor. My professional career began in 2010. In it I have focused on working at a therapeutic level with children in care, children and young people and adults. 

On the other hand, in my professional career I have also been involved in the field of educational psychology and counselling.

For me, the most important thing in therapy is to create a safe space where the patient finds the support and closeness necessary for the therapeutic process.

Portfolio of Services

Child and Youth Therapy

Therapy in the developmental period of childhood and adolescence aims to address the different stages and possible difficulties that occur during this developmental period.

Throughout this stage, difficulties may be encountered that affect the family system and above all the child. Among the most prominent are: Jealousy, disruptive and explosive behaviour, defiant behaviour, difficulties in relationships with others, sleep problems, tantrums that are difficult to manage, etc.

On the other hand, adolescence brings with it physical, psychological and emotional changes that are sometimes difficult to manage and lead to a lack of self-esteem and difficulties in relationships with others and the environment.

Educational Guidance

This area is in charge of working with everything related to the academic period and its possible difficulties.

Reading and writing problems, attention and concentration deficits, learning difficulties, establishing study techniques, etc.

Eating disorders are known as disorders that cause a poor relationship with food, as well as a misperception of self-image and dysfunctional self-perception.

It has now become clear that there are multiple ways in which the symptoms of ED develop beyond the well-known anorexia and bulimia.

Anxiety

The anxiety is the feeling of excessive distress and worry that leads to cognitive, physical and emotional symptoms. On many occasions it can interfere with the patient's daily life, affecting various areas of everyday life. The therapy helps the patient to identify and manage the anxious symptomatology and to delve into the possible reasons that maintain it.

Depression

The depression is the state of mind whereby the patient loses interest and pleasure in day-to-day activities and a wide range of symptoms that generate great discomfort in the patient. As well as a possible emotional disconnection or a state of constant sadness. In children, depressive symptomatology can take the form of outbursts.

BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

Therapy is aimed at helping the patient to regulate emotional instability and dysfunctional behaviours characteristic of borderline personality traits.

This disorder or borderline traits affect the person's ability to control their emotions. This can affect impulsivity and the way they relate to themselves and the world around them.
