English Speaking Psychologist in Barcelona
Specialists in migration psychology and one of the few practices providing therapy entirely in English in the Barcelona area. Helping expats adapt, thrive, and fully enjoy life
Why psicoaction?
Living as an expat is a transformative experience — but it can also be genuinely hard. Cultural change, language barriers, a new professional environment, and distance from your support network create emotional stress that isn't always easy to process alone.
At psicoaction, we understand these challenges because we have studied and worked with international populations. Our team specializes in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the methodology with the strongest scientific evidence for adaptation, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing.
Fran Herruzo holds a PhD (cum laude) in Health and Sports Psychology with a doctoral thesis specifically exploring migration processes and their psychological impact. This isn't coincidental — it's the foundation of our approach to expat psychology.

How we work with you
First Session, in English
We talk through what brought you here — the language barrier, the loneliness, the job stress — and set clear, realistic goals together.
A CBT-Based Plan
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy adapted to your specific situation as an expat, not a generic protocol.
Weekly Sessions
50–55 minutes, in person in Barcelona or Ripollet, or online from anywhere. Most people notice a shift within 4–6 sessions.
Adjusting as You Go
We revisit your goals as your situation changes — a new job, a visit home, a harder week.
