Dr Juan Carlos Prados

Health Psychologist

“Cognitive behavioral psychologist. Doctor in Health Psychology (Ph.D.). Diploma of Advanced Studies in in Health Promotion. Anxiety and stress therapy. Disorders of behavior. Emotional Dependency.”

About Me

As a cognitive behavioural psychologist, I guide individuals through anxiety, stress, and challenging behaviours. I offer clear, practical tools to understand and shift unhelpful thought patterns. I also support those navigating emotional dependency. My approach helps clients build healthier coping strategies. Together, we can create a more stable foundation for your daily well-being.

Approach

That foundation grows as I help you turn insight into small, practical experiments that expose and change the routines feeding worry, reactive behaviours and emotional reliance. In my Ferrol consultation room, in Spanish, sessions move at a steady, focused pace: we map triggers, try short in‑session exercises, and set simple between‑session tasks to test new responses. Feedback and brief progress checks keep adjustments precise. People who value structured, hands‑on work tend to find this approach most helpful.
