Our Services
Philia’s commitment is to provide psychological support within a warm emotional atmosphere of respect, understanding, and assertiveness and in which under no circumstances would any kind of criticism or judgment be involved.
If we love each other so much, then why is it so hard to be together? Why can’t we enjoy the time we share? Something has definitely changed, but we don’t know what exactly… In Couples Counselling we can express our feelings and what we are going through without fear of complaints or recrimination; heart in hand, and be able to see our mistakes, our hopes, dreams and goals. We are able to speak without expecting anything in return, without anybody having to win, just expressing what we feel and along with the counselor figure out what is causing me to walk away or to give up on our journey together. Counselling can help us improve the quality and the satisfaction in our relationship, get to know and understand each other more and overcome times of crisis together.

Family is usually the first people you turn to when there is a problem, but what happens when the problem is the family? This is a good reason to take family counselling, where all the members can speak freely about their opinions; their personal vision regarding a conflict or a certain way in which they perceive reality. One of the goals is to achieve a point of common understanding in which all the members of the family listen to one another, understand their opinions and solve existing problems.

Individual counselling can help you become a more resilient person; it helps you to develop tools to adapt, to empower yourself, to be able to face and improve the difficult situations that may arise throughout the different stages of life.

And one day I asked my teenage son: what can I do? What do you need to be well? Tell me what you feel? How can I help? And he replied crying: “I don’t know, I really don’t know, I don’t even understand what is happening to me myself “. This is understandable given that during adolescence there are so many hormonal changes, our children’s brain is still developing and they are left feeling misunderstood and alone, plus everything that is going on around them (friends, school, etc.) makes everything look more difficult. In Teenage Counselling we listen to them and hand in hand try to accomodate overflowing thoughts and emotions. Find healthy alternatives to handle what they are feeling without judgment and/or claims. Establishing empathy with the adolescent makes a great deal of difference.
