Therapy in English · Girona

Psychological support
in your own language

A welcoming space to explore what you are going through, with professional support in the language where you feel most like yourself.

Why it matters

Language is more than
just words

Many people can navigate daily life in a second language perfectly well. But when it comes to emotions, relationships, fears, or difficult moments, something shifts.

Speaking in your mother tongue — or simply the language in which you feel most yourself — allows for a depth of expression that can make all the difference in the therapeutic process. Nuance, memory, and feeling are deeply tied to the words we grew up with.

At Montse Serra Psychology Centre, we believe that access to meaningful psychological support should never be limited by language.

Danay Middleton, Psychologist

Anxiety Depression Relationships Expat life

Danay Middleton is an English-speaking psychologist working at Centre de Psicologia Montse Serra in Sarrià de Ter. She offers individual therapy for adults both in person and online.

Having lived and worked across different countries, she understands firsthand what it means to navigate life in a second language — and why the therapeutic space should be free of that extra layer.

Questions

Frequently asked
questions

Can therapy be entirely in English?

Yes, absolutely. Danay Middleton offers full sessions in English. You don’t need to speak Catalan or Spanish at any point — every part of the process, from the first contact to each session, can take place in English.

Can I start online and later come to the centre?

Of course. Many people start online and eventually transition to in-person sessions, or alternate between the two depending on their schedule. There’s no obligation to commit to one format from the start.

Do I need to live in Girona?

Not at all. Online sessions are available from anywhere in Spain or abroad. If you prefer in-person, the centre is in Sarrià de Ter, just a few minutes from Girona city.

What happens during the first session?

The first session is an opportunity to meet, without pressure. Danay will listen to what’s brought you here, answer any questions you have, and together you can decide whether and how to continue. There is no obligation after a first appointment.

How long does therapy usually last?

That depends entirely on you and what you’re working through. Some people find a few sessions enough; others prefer ongoing support. The pace and duration are always decided together, based on your needs and how the process evolves.

Is this service available for expats and international families?

Yes, and it’s one of the areas where English-language therapy makes a particular difference. Adapting to life in a new country can bring challenges that are much easier to explore in the language you feel most at home in.
