When anxiety, stress or fear start calling the shots.
Individual therapy in English, online or at home in Granada — no clinic, no waiting room.
Therapy where life happens, with the rigour of a clinic behind it.
Psychology, focus and performance
Anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, fear and work stress. Also high performance: exams, sport and pressure at work.

Memory concerns, or changes you have noticed compared to a year ago. The assessment is done in person, at your home in Granada; what comes after it — making sense of the report, stimulation, follow-up — can be by video call.

Fernando Ruiz Martínez
Psychologist and neuropsychologist · Col. M-39091
As a psychologist I work with people who live with a lot of anxiety day to day. With people whose mood is low and who are losing their taste for the small things around them. And with people so demanding of themselves that they do not allow themselves to fail.
But above all I work on this: who we are, what we expect of ourselves and of the people around us, and what happens when what we expect does not come true.

In your home, not a waiting room
There's no clinic to travel to. I come to you in Granada, or we talk by video call from wherever you are — including if you're only here part of the year. Life happens where you live, and that's where the work has to hold up.
A plan built around you
There's no single method for everyone, and no fixed number of sessions. I combine tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, humanistic and systemic approaches, to get closer to what is going on and give you a wider view.
Few clients at a time, on purpose
Seeing people at home limits how many cases I can take on, and that's deliberate. I remember what you told me last week without checking notes, there's room to bring your family into it if that helps, and you're never just a slot in a packed diary.
The first consultation is free
By phone or video call. You tell me what's going on, I tell you whether I'm the right person for it.
How I can see you
You can have a session by video call or receive care at home in Granada. See how sessions in English work.
Before you choose a time
Do I need a diagnosis before booking?
No. The first consultation is a chance to explain what is happening and decide whether this is the right service for you.
How does seeing a psychologist privately work in Spain?
There is no waiting list and no referral needed. You book directly, we talk about what's going on, and if we continue you pay session by session — no ongoing contract.
Is the neuropsychological assessment ever done by video call?
No. The assessment is always in person — I come to your home in Granada. The tests need physical material and direct observation, so that part cannot be done remotely.
What happens in the first consultation?
The first consultation is free, by phone or video call. We meet, I say whether I think I can help, and you get the exact price for your case. The figures are in prices, and there is no obligation to continue.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a neuropsychologist?
A psychologist works on the emotional and the behavioural: how you feel, what you do and how you relate to people. A neuropsychologist measures how attention, memory, language and executive function are working, and what support they need.
I am both: if the emotional and behavioural side needs work, we do it in therapy. If we need to measure how cognitive functions are working, we do a neuropsychological assessment. Sometimes both are needed. Understanding the link between brain and behaviour helps us understand the problem.
Does a session at your home cost more than an online one?
The base is the same. Online has a closed price; for a home visit the travel may add something depending on the area of Granada. I give you the exact figure in the first consultation.
Which parts of Granada do you cover for home visits?
Home visits are within Granada. If you live further out, write to me and we will look at the travel, or consider the online option.
What is a home visit like?
I come to your home with what is needed to talk or to assess. It makes sense if getting out is hard, or if the home itself is part of what needs looking at. There is no consulting room.
Is there any help with paying for the sessions?
There is no general public scheme in Andalusia that covers private therapy. Depending on your situation there may be a mutual fund, a refund from your insurer or social services. I go through it with the official links in this article (in Spanish).
