Do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over?

Roots is about understanding where your difficulties come from and working to change them. We go deep, with a practical goal: change that lasts.

This is for you if…

  • You find yourself repeating the same stories with partners, family or at work.
  • You find it hard to value yourself, set boundaries or say no.
  • You feel an emotional dependence that is hurting you.
  • Something from your past still weighs on you today.
  • You want to know yourself better and understand why you react the way you do.

  1. Session 1

    Map of your story

    We assess and I give you an honest first reading of what is happening and where it may come from. You leave with your first tools.

  2. Session 2

    Goals and plan

    We pin down which pattern you want to change and how we will know you are achieving it.

  3. Session 3

    The origin

    We explore the experiences, learning and beliefs that shaped that pattern. Understanding where it comes from often brings real relief.

  4. Session 4

    Rewriting the pattern

    We look at how it is triggered today and you practise new ways of thinking, feeling and relating.

  5. Session 5

    Consolidation

    You take the change into your real relationships and we strengthen your self-esteem and boundaries.

  6. Session 6

    Closing session

    We organise what you have learned into your personal manual and plan how to look after it so the change holds.

  7. Follow-up

    One month after we finish

    One session to consolidate what you have achieved, see how you are using your manual and adjust whatever is needed.

Frequently asked questions

What if I need more or fewer than 6 sessions?

The 6 sessions are an honest guide, not a fixed package. If you reach your goals sooner, we finish sooner. If your case needs more, I will tell you as soon as I see it, and by session 5 at the latest, so we can continue with a clear plan.

Do I have to talk about my childhood?

Only about what is useful to understand what is happening to you today, and always at your own pace. Roots goes deep, but with a practical goal.

What if I am feeling really bad right now?

Then it is best to start with Care to stabilise, and continue with Roots afterwards. If your life is at risk, call 112 or 024 first.

Is it suitable for couples?

Yes. Many patterns show up most clearly in a relationship. It can be worked on in individual or couples therapy.

Can it be done online?

Yes, by video call, in English, Spanish or French, with the same material between sessions.

How much does it cost?

Each session costs the same as a standard therapy session at the Centre (individual or couples), and you only pay for the sessions you have. You will find it on the fees page.

Is it an emergency? If your life or someone else’s is in danger, call 112. If you are having suicidal thoughts, Spain’s 024 helpline is free and open 24 hours a day.
