Luz Villarrubia

Hello, my name is Luz and I am a qualified therapist and clinical supervisor with more than a decade of experience. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds and specialise in Gestalt therapy, which is focused on being present in the moment.

As a therapist, I recognise the importance of building a strong relationship with my clients, which is why I create a welcoming, non-judgmental, and understanding atmosphere for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we will work collaboratively to find new ways to approach the challenges you're facing.

I have extensive experience working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges. I specialise in long-term health conditions, sexual health, and relationship issues. I also help people with integrating intercultural experiences and navigating issues related to gender and sexuality.

My practice is grounded in a commitment to being LGBTQ+ affirmative and culturally competent, so you can feel confident that I'll provide a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. It's my priority to ensure that all my clients feel respected and supported, regardless of their background or identity.

Moreover, I am fluent in Spanish, which allows me to cater to clients who are more comfortable communicating in their native language. I offer sessions on Zoom, making them more accessible and convenient. If you're interested in knowing more about my services or scheduling an appointment, please feel free to contact me.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which is a holistic approach that emphasises the importance of the present moment and the here and now. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key, and I strive to create a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where my clients can feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In my work with clients, I take an integrative approach, drawing from a range of theories and techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and my aim is to support my clients as they navigate life's challenges and develop new insights and perspectives.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to share your concerns and goals for therapy. I will begin by asking you some questions about your background, your current situation, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We will also discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the therapeutic process.

In the first session, we will work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that meets your unique needs. I will explain my therapeutic approach and how it may be helpful for you, and we will discuss the time and schedule of sessions. I will also provide information on my fees and any other practical details.

The first session is the same rate as any other session, and I do not ask clients to complete an assessment prior to the first session. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings, and where we can work together to create positive change in your life.

If you have any questions about the first session or would like to schedule an appointment, please feel free to reach out to me.

Hello, my name is Luz, a bilingual therapist providing online therapy services to English speakers in Spain.
