Maria, Marijuana, the weed, the pot, the herb the ganja… whatever you call it, it’s everywhere. Since the rise of cannabis associations here in Barcelona over the past years, high potency cannabis has been more and more readily available. Not Unsurprisingly I’ve also been seeing more increasing numbers of clients for cannabis addiction. […]
Soon the Holidays will be upon us: Christmas and on into the New Year! There will be lights, food, presents and no doubt you will be hearing and reading therapists and life coaches talk about the dreaded “resolutions”. Maybe you think that this year will be the year you will stop engaging in certain […]
“It’s all just placebo” I am sure you´ve heard that a million times… I personally cringe when I hear that phrase, because even though people recognize that there is a placebo effect, I KNOW they don´t really get it. There is no such thing as JUST placebo. Do you think it’s just anything that […]
So many of the clients I see come to me after having tried almost everything to resolve their anxiety and stress. Medication, various talk therapies such as Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neurofeedback and even shamanic practices. While some of these work to varying degrees, they are often predicated on a misunderstanding how the Mind-Body system works and sometimes even make […]
Recently like many around the world, I found myself watching the devastating forest fires raging in Australia. The incredible amount of damage that has been caused is almost unbelievable. Wildlife, livelyhoods, homes, vinyards…nothing could escape the destructive force of nature that occurred. I then also think of the tremendous upswelling of support and resilience […]
So perhaps you’ve been recommended CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy) you have tried talk therapy or even another type of psychotherapy. It either hasn’t worked to resolve your problem or maybe it hasn’t completely done that. Perhaps it’s even made things worse. The truth is you’ve done everything you can consciously to fix this issue […]

My partner and her family celebrated Easter Sunday this year by having a Barbeque in the graden of her aunt´s place here in Gràcia. As we enjoyed the wonderful weather, food and company I had a moment to reflect on the coming months and how much I like Spring. It is, for me a […]
One of the most common things that people come to a hypnotherapist is for help losing weight. Everyone wants to be healthy and look good and some find that despite their best efforts when it comes to staying active and exercising regularly (and may even succeed in losing a significant amount), they cannot keep […]
This is one of the questions that I get asked most. As someone who works both as a clinician and a coach, it’s important for me that people really understand the distinction between the two. So what is the difference between coaching and therapy? When is therapy really helpful and when does the […]
This blog post is not just an attempt to be deep, appear insightful or in some way stand up for what is “right”. It is really to acknowledge and recognise the amount of suffering and ill will that is being felt in my adopted hometown of Barcelona (and indeed around the world) . I […]
Sometimes as a therapist it is difficult to explain what the work is like from a client’s perspective. I recently received an email which does this wonderfully and am grateful that she agreed to to let me publish it on my site: I decided to try hypnotherapy to help with my generalised anxiety, as well as fear of […]
The other day I saw a Facebook post by a well known Hypnotherapy trainer that stated, “remember: No matter how bad or damaging someone’s behavior might be, the intention behind it is always positive”. This is one of the main presuppositions from the field of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis and is used as foundation for […]
Last week we learned that Hollywood megastar Johnny Depp has problems. The kind of problems some might even wish to have. Rich people problems. We found out that the actor that plays the charismatic, swashbuckling ¨Jack Sparrow¨ in the wildly successful Disney movie Franchise ¨Pirates of the Caribbean¨ spends 2 million a month on his […]
