How we work with people from Los Barrios
Psychological therapy is not about quick fixes or generic advice. At Ocnos Psychology Clinic, we focus on understanding what is happening, why it is happening and how to move forward in a sustainable way.
1. Understanding your situation
In the first sessions we explore your current difficulties, personal context and goals. This allows us to build a shared understanding of what you are experiencing.
2. Clear therapeutic plan
Based on this assessment, we agree on a therapeutic direction. You will know what we are working on, why we are doing it and what to expect from the process.
3. Ongoing support and review
Therapy is adjusted as you progress. We regularly review changes, difficulties and achievements, adapting the work to your pace and circumstances.

How we work in therapy
Therapy is not about quick fixes or generic advice. At Ocnos Psychology Clinic, we work with a clear process: understanding what is happening, identifying what keeps it going, and taking practical steps that help you feel more steady and in control.
First sessions: clarity
We explore what you are experiencing, your context and what you want to change. Together we define realistic goals and agree on a clear direction.
Understanding the pattern
We identify the factors that maintain distress: thoughts, emotions, habits, avoidance and relationship dynamics with your environment.
Tools and meaningful change
We build skills that are genuinely useful: emotional regulation, behavioural changes, communication, exposure when appropriate, and healthier routines.
Consolidation
We strengthen what works, prevent relapse and close the process when it makes clinical sense — with a plan to sustain progress.
If travel or timing is difficult, we also offer online therapy with the same professional approach.

IFS Therapy (Internal Family Systems): Understanding Inner Conflict and Finding Calm
The aim of IFS is not to eliminate parts, but to listen to them, understand them and integrate them, so they stop fighting and can collaborate more harmoniously. This integration happens around what the model calls the “Self”: your core capacity to be calm, curious, compassionate and connected when the internal noise drops.
In simple terms: IFS helps you stop feeling as if you’re being pulled around by inner voices — and helps you recover a steadier internal place from which to relate to yourself and what you’re going through.
Eating Behaviour and Functional Analysis: Why the Problem Isn’t “Lack of Willpower”
Picture a scene that may feel painfully familiar. It is late, the day has been long, and you have been chaining tasks together: work, responsibilities, dozens of small and big decisions. At last the house is quiet. You sit down. For the first time in hours, you are not responding to anyone.
And then a thought shows up: “I could eat something.” It is not quite physical hunger. It is more that, just by imagining food, something inside loosens. As if eating marked the end of the day — permission to stop holding everything up.
