Monika Bermans
I am a Gestalt therapist and a multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona.
About Me
Creativity has always shaped my path. Before becoming a Gestalt therapist, I studied Italian philology, worked in advertising and ran an art studio. Art continues to hold an important place in my life. I create jewellery and teach arts and crafts to children. These experiences enrich my work as a therapist.
I trained at Institut Gestalt in Barcelona. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, notice what is happening within you, and explore your feelings and needs without judgment. Therapy does not have to begin with a crisis. It can also be a way to understand yourself better and live with greater awareness.
My work is grounded in curiosity, presence, and respect for each person’s pace. My artistic background helps me recognise the many ways people express themselves and make sense of their experiences. I will meet you where you are and accompany you as we explore what you need.
My Approach
At times, life can feel overwhelming. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what you need. Difficult emotions, recurring patterns, relationships, or periods of change can leave you without a clear sense of how to move forward.
Gestalt therapy pays attention to what is happening in the present, your emotions, bodily sensations, thoughts, and the ways you relate to yourself and others. Rather than rushing to explain or fix what you feel, we make space to notice and understand it.
In our sessions, we can explore what is troubling you at a pace that feels manageable. As you become more aware of your experience and your needs, different choices may begin to emerge.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I will not tell you how to live, but I will be present with you, ask questions, and support you in finding your own way forward.
If you would like to see whether working together feels right, contact me to arrange a free 30-minute introductory call.
I offer therapy sessions in English, Spanish or Polish.
