Claire Nemchik collaborating therapist at Therapy in Barcelona

I work as a collaborating child, adolescent and family therapist at Therapy in Barcelona.

I provide psychotherapy and counselling to children, adolescents and/or their family who need help in coping with difficult circumstances or experience emotional or behavioural difficulties.

Prior to moving to Barcelona, I worked in private practice for 5 years in Singapore. This has allowed me to work proficiently with children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds with a broad range of psychiatric and developmental difficulties including depression, anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, specific phobias, panic attacks, self-harm behaviours, anger and behavioural problems, ADHD and ASD. Besides that, I work with a wide range of concerns, such as challenges relating to self-esteem, social skills and perspective taking, sleeping problems, school related issues (including school refusal and bullying) and grief and loss.

Next to individual and family support I run groups that focus on Social Thinking methodology. I run these groups both in schools as well as in a private practice setting. Social Thinking helps children better observe the social world and to explore how they can problem solve within their given situation. Social Thinking takes children on a journey from learning about their own and others’ social thoughts to then learning to self-regulate their own behaviour to meet their personal social goals (e.g. to be included, accepted, etc.).

Therapy in Barcelona also offers psychotherapy and counselling to adult and couples. There is a big team that offers the services in many languages. Please check out the website for more information.
