Donnie Nicolson MA is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Barcelona.
I help people overcome issues like low mood, anxiety and depression, grief, burnout, creative blocks and relationship issues.
Working together at a pace that suits you, we will identify the limiting beliefs and unhelpful behaviours that could be causing you emotional pain or holding you back from living life to the full. By unravelling these issues we can find a way to reanimate growth and nurture your inherent creativity.
I am available for face-to-face sessions at my office in central Barcelona, or by videocall.
Most of the time we can handle the problems life throws at us, through our natural resilience and by leaning on family and friends. But sometimes things get on top of us, and talking to a professional can help.
Therapy might be useful if you are suffering from low mood, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger management, grief, drug or alcohol misuse or just feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed.
I will accompany you to become an active participant in your healing process, to find an inner connectedness and to fully inhabit your experience.
Through increased awareness you will learn to trust yourself and act with confidence and self-belief.
Gestalt therapy
Gestalt is a therapeutic approach which looks at your whole self and how you engage with the world. We will gain awareness of your body, emotions and mind in the here and now, to understand your behaviour patterns and what moves you. Gestalt is an invitation to ‘be yourself’ as fully as possible. By working together with this ‘authentic you’, I can help you rediscover your natural creativity, and begin to live life to the full.
