Paloma Franco

I understand therapy as a space of joint construction, where each journey is thought through in its singularity. I work from an integrative perspective, with the conviction that therapy must adapt to each person — not the other way around.

About me

I work from an integrative perspective, with the conviction that therapy must adapt to each person and not the other way around. I draw on psychoanalytic tools to understand history, subjectivity and the unconscious aspects that shape distress; on cognitive-behavioural therapy to address how thoughts and emotions impact daily life and to offer concrete resources when suffering calls for more immediate support; and on a systemic lens to think of each person in relation to their bonds and contexts. From this perspective, childhood holds a central place, since it is where subjectivity begins to be built: a kind of "blank page" that takes on meaning from what is lived, but also from how the environment signifies, names or silences each experience. I believe in a psychotherapy that combines training, sensitivity and humanity, where the encounter with the other is not reduced to techniques, but involves a genuine presence.

“Learn all the theories, master all the techniques, but in touching a human soul, be just another human soul.”

— Carl Jung

Testimonials

“I want to highlight the excellent work of Paloma, a committed, warm and highly qualified professional. From the very first moment she made me feel in a safe and trusting space, always showing great empathy and listening skills. One of the aspects I value most is her flexibility: she adapts easily to my schedule, which allows me to stay consistent even in complicated weeks. Her online sessions are also very comfortable and effective. I notice no difference from the in-person sessions I have had with other professionals. It also gives me great peace of mind to know that she keeps training constantly to offer the best possible treatment, incorporating new tools and approaches. Without a doubt, she is an accessible, dedicated and very human professional. I fully recommend her to anyone looking for quality psychological support.”
