Warm, Approachable, Rooted in Science, Driven by Connection
Neus is a clinical psychologist based in Barcelona, specialising in relationships and therapy for neurodiverse individuals and couples. She offers sessions in English, Catalan and Spanish, both in-person and online.
Hi, I’m Neus — psychologist, partner, and mother — passionate about helping people build more connected, conscious relationships.
I’m a Doctor in Clinical Psychology with over 15 years of experience supporting children, individuals, couples, and families. My work blends evidence-based approaches with a warm, intuitive style, and is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience.
Alongside therapy, I’ve worked in research, teaching, and academic supervision, both in Barcelona and the UK. I’ve also taken on leadership roles to support healthcare professionals and improve the quality of mental health services.
Throughout my career, I’ve specialised in ADHD and autism, combining rigorous training, research in the field, clinical practice (including assessments) and teaching for postgraduates. Neurodiversity is also part of my personal life, which gives me a real-world, compassionate understanding of the challenges and growth it can bring — especially in relationships.
I believe relationships are one of the most powerful arenas for healing. Whether you want to understand yourself better, shift long-standing patterns, or reconnect with your partner, I offer a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend — just show up as you are. It’s never too late to change the way you love.
Credentials & Affiliations
I combine more than two decades of research, clinical experience and teaching with a deep belief in the power of relational healing.

| Navigating Parenthood |
“We worked with Neus several years ago during a very challenging moment for our family. Our son had just been diagnosed with dyslexia and was struggling deeply with his self-esteem. Neus helped us better understand his emotional world and find more aligned ways to support him as parents. To this day, we still refer to the tools she shared with us — they’ve stayed with us over time. When we recently thought about seeking support again, she was the first person who came to mind.”
- Parents of a 10 years old boy
| Harmonizing Relationships |
“Working with Neus gave us the space we needed to reconnect. Over the course of a few months, we learned how to communicate more honestly and with less defensiveness. We began to prioritise our relationship again — making time for fun, intimacy, and simply being present with each other. With Neus’s gentle guidance, we also found new ways to respect each other’s needs without losing our own. It’s not that everything is perfect now, but we feel more solid, more connected, and more like a team.”
- Couple, in their 40's
| Supporting your own journey |
“I’m so grateful for the support I received from Neus. In a short time, I felt truly seen and understood. Her presence stayed with me even after we finished working together. It wasn’t always easy to put into words, but I often think of reaching out just to say thank you. The space she holds is special.”

| Transitioning difficult moments |
"Without Neus, I feel our situation would have ended less positively, and I am grateful for her effort and help in reaching this stage in life. Neus brought a comfortable and safe environment for my wife and me to express our issues and desires in our failing marriage. While we ultimately did not stay together despite various exercises and counseling, the sessions with Neus did guide and help us to separate in a respectful and amicable manner."
