Miquel Piqueras | Psychologist in Girona

I am Miquel Piqueras (Col. Num. 30.834), a psychologist specialized in emotional support, cognitive and behavioral management, and neuropsychology. My start in psychology stems from a more introspective perspective, trying to figure out how to help people through self-knowledge. It is a process of constant learning, where it is essential to know where we come from and where we want to go in order to face and overcome the continuous changes in life.

The foundation of my therapy is the therapeutic relationship that is created with people, adjusting according to the patient’s personal needs, and the relational dynamic that emerges in therapy. I do not believe there is an absolute therapy that solves everyone’s problems, but rather that each person must find the right therapist, with the perspective that best fits, and at the appropriate time for the individual. I have the ability to work with two different approaches, with the possibility of working in a hybrid manner according to each person’s needs. I can work as a therapist who follows a process of support and emotional management, helping you resolve issues through changes in cognition and behavior.

Alternatively, I can approach it from neuropsychology, where I can evaluate and work directly on cognitive functions, behavioral patterns, neurodevelopmental disorders, and various alterations in people’s functioning.

Main Areas of Intervention

• Emotional support and cognitive-behavioral management: Support in problem-solving processes through changes in cognition and behavior, adapting to individual needs.
• Emotional management, anxiety, and insomnia: Work to identify, understand, and regulate emotions, reducing anxiety, internal tension, and related issues such as insomnia.
• Sports and academic psychology: Support in emotional and academic management, improving performance and adaptation in sports and educational settings.
• Phobias, behavioral disorders, and autism: Intervention in specific phobias, behavioral disorders, and support in cases of autism or neurodevelopmental disorders.
• Intervention and rehabilitation in dementia and acquired brain injury: Evaluation and direct work on cognitive functions, behavioral patterns, and rehabilitation processes for dementias and brain injuries.

Therapeutic Approach

• Integrative and hybrid approach: I combine tools from different models, adjusting the process according to needs, with the possibility of hybridizing between emotional therapy and neuropsychology.
• Introspective and relational perspective: The therapeutic relationship, based on self-knowledge and personal adaptation, is the center of the process, without an absolute formula.
• Work based on bonding and individual adjustment: A close and respectful relationship as the foundation to facilitate change, acceptance, and transformation, adapting to the rhythm and moment of each person.
