Our team of psychologists in Palmones, near Gibraltar and Sotogrande
At Ocnos Psychology Clinic, our team is made up of registered General Health Psychologists. We work with a warm, rigorous and coordinated approach to help you find the psychological support that best fits your needs.
In addition, if you are not sure which professional to choose, you can call us and briefly tell us how you feel, what is worrying you or what kind of help you are looking for.
Not sure which psychologist to choose?
It is normal not to know where to start. Sometimes a person knows they need help, but they are not sure whether they need individual therapy, couples therapy, psychological assessment, neuropsychology or family guidance.
Therefore, you can call us and briefly tell us how you feel, what problem you are experiencing or what kind of situation is worrying you. You do not need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what type of therapy you need.
We will listen calmly and help you choose the professional who may fit best according to your situation, age, reason for consultation, language and availability.
During that call, we can help you clarify:
- which professional may be the best fit for you;
- whether therapy or assessment may be more appropriate;
- whether in-person or online therapy is suitable;
- whether you need support in Spanish or English;
- what to do if you are seeking help for your child, partner or family.
A psychology clinic where listening comes first
At Ocnos, we do not understand therapy as an automatic response or as one single method for everyone. Each process begins by listening to what is happening, what the person needs and which professional may support them best.
In addition, we work as a coordinated team. This allows us to guide each case more carefully, support continuity and offer a broader clinical perspective when a situation requires different areas of experience.

Perfectionism in highly able children and teenagers: when it helps and when it gets in the way
Wanting to do something very well is not a problem. Perfectionism becomes more concerning when fear of mistakes, harsh self-criticism or the need to get everything exactly right leads to avoidance, delay, distress or less learning. This guide explains what research tells us about perfectionism and high ability and offers practical tools for families and teenagers.
High ability and ADHD or autism: understanding twice exceptionality
A child can have very high intellectual ability and still need substantial support because of ADHD or autism. This guide explains twice exceptionality, why strengths and difficulties may hide one another, how assessment can make sense of an uneven profile, and how families and schools can support needs without suppressing talent.
High ability and school underachievement: why they can coexist
High ability does not guarantee top grades. This guide explains why strong intellectual potential can coexist with low or inconsistent school performance, the roles of motivation, executive functions, perfectionism and twice exceptionality, and how to help without reducing the problem to “they could do it if they wanted to”.
