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.
