Marina de Julio Barrios

Marina de Julio Barrios is a passionate REBT/CBT and EMDR practitioner. She is compassionate, flexible yet focused and she provides a safe and supportive space to explore issues collaboratively. Life can be overwhelming sometimes and during therapy, she will work in supporting you through challenging times and she will teach you skills that will allow you to deal with difficult emotions in a healthy and more flexible way. Understanding that your thoughts are not necessarily the truth is a truly liberating experience and she will help you to gain emotional responsibility and be more in control of the emotions that may be disturbing you. She has an integrative approach which means that she draws on different approaches to help you explore your own issues, as she believes that one size does not fit all.
