About me
My relationship with Gestalt therapy began about 15 years ago, when I was in a life crisis and began a process of therapeutic counseling. Thanks to this support and the Gestalt proposal, I was able to walk towards a vital change that has opened me to a fuller, freer, and more coherent life with myself.
With a technical background, I have several bachelor’s degrees in Industrial Engineering and European Materials Engineering, and for a few years I worked in multinational companies at different levels in team management. Until I started my therapeutic process, and that’s when my interest turned towards humanistic therapies and I discovered a new perspective on myself and my relationships.
Little by little my curiosity grew, and I began to train in different areas to continue opening this perspective.
Shortly after, I left engineering and decided to expand my experience by traveling to India and Southeast Asia for long periods of time, where I went to different centers: Buddhist monasteries, Hindu ashrams, etc., training and delving deeper into practices such as meditation, bodywork, etc.
When I returned to Barcelona, I expanded my formal training by completing 3 years of Gestalt Therapy training endorsed by the AETG, at Espai Gestalt (currently Cercle Gestalt).
Later, I started training in TCI (Integrative Body Therapy) and also got involved with different training centers;
Being part of the co-tutoring of the Gestalt training group, where I accompanied the entire group in training as therapists during the 3 years of duration, at the Cercle Gestalt in Barcelona.
In parallel, being involved in the social area of the La Casa Ámbar Foundation, where I offered my counseling to people who do not have the financial means to pay for it.
Likewise, I also spent several years linked to the Arrels day care center, where I carried out volunteer work and supported the center’s users.
In addition, I continue to deepen my meditative practice by doing different stays at local centers, such as Dhamma Neru.
I also open myself to different therapeutic approaches, such as trauma and attachment training at GEA (Girona), etc.
