Mrs Ximena Guinguis

Professional Counselor

“My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and I work with adults in individual short and long-term therapy. I specialise in mood and anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss, boundary issues, low self-esteem and confidence issues, midlife crisis, life stage transitions, and personal transformation.”

About Me

I offer individual short and long-term psychodynamic therapy, providing a space to explore the deeper patterns influencing your life. If you're grappling with anxiety, depression, grief, or navigating significant life transitions, we can work together. This approach helps you understand underlying dynamics, fostering greater self-awareness and personal transformation. It's ideal for those seeking to build confidence, set boundaries, or navigate midlife challenges.

Approach

Exploring the deeper patterns that shape your choices, I guide steady, focused sessions that help make hidden dynamics more visible and understandable. In Malaga or online, in English or Spanish, sessions move at your pace—often combining reflective listening, gentle challenge and practical steps to try between meetings. We attend to mood, anxiety, boundaries and the small experiments that reveal new options, tracing how past experience shows up now. This way of working suits adults navigating grief, life changes or stuck confidence.
