Ms Adena Franses

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“A professionally trained and qualified Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, from the UK, now working in Granada, Spain.”

About Me

As a UK-trained Transactional Analysis psychotherapist in Granada, Spain, I offer a warm, confidential space to understand yourself more deeply. We can gently explore how past experiences shape your present interactions and communication. This approach helps you gain clarity, make sense of relational patterns, and feel more in control of your choices. I aim to support those navigating life transitions or seeking to improve their relationships, helping them feel truly heard.

Approach

Grounded in Transactional Analysis and UK training, I focus on noticing how thoughts, feelings and interactions play out in the room and in your life. In session we move at a steady, collaborative pace—exploring moments of shame, anxiety or relationship strain, trying small experiments with new responses and reflecting on what shifts between meetings. I offer flexibility with English-speaking in-person work in Granada or online, and many people navigating transitions or rebuilding self-worth find this practical, relational rhythm helpful.
