Hear from what other patient's say about us

Sandra is a very caring and attentive psychologist. I've been seeing her for 6 months, and she has helped me better understand my suffering and learn how to cope with it. She also puts a lot of effort into making you feel truly present during the sessions."

G.M.

As a yacht crew member, life on board can be intense and isolating at times. Talking to Sandra has helped me find balance and clarity during difficult moments. She really understands the pressures of this lifestyle and offers support that feels both professional and personal. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more grounded.

G.M.

"I appreciated her sincerity, empathy, generosity, and professionalism in how she treated me. My case is very complex — I’ve been seen by other professionals before, but this is the first time I truly felt in good hands. She gave me a sense of security, I’m making a lot of progress, and I highly recommend her."

L.G

Working at sea comes with unique challenges, and Sandra has been an incredible support throughout. She listens without judgment and gives practical tools that actually help me manage stress and emotions while on board. Her guidance has had a real, positive impact on my daily life and mindset.

L.G

"Working with Sandra has been a fantastic experience. Her understanding of the unique challenges faced by yacht crews, along with her professional and empathetic approach, has greatly improved our communication and teamwork. She provided valuable tools to handle the stresses of life at sea, creating a supportive space for us to address any concerns. Highly recommend Sandra to any crew looking for expert guidance and support!"
