Take care of your mind, love your Soul

At AMAR Psychotherapy, we guide you through your journey of self-discovery and growth, offering you tools to manage emotions, overcome challenges, and live with greater fulfillment and calm.

When to go to therapy 

Security, Comfort, Warmth, Growth

We often normalise living without fulfilment and become accustomed to an unpleasant, autopilot existence. This happens when we accept anxiety, deep sadness, irritability toward others, or treating our family members with disdain as “normal.” These are behaviours we often observe in therapy—and they can be overcome or redirected. It is possible to live peacefully, to feel enthusiasm for life, to care for ourselves, and to nurture the relationships that truly matter. When we begin to know ourselves and understand how our emotional world works, life changes. A sense of vitality returns, reconnecting us with ourselves and our immediate surroundings. We learn to take the reins of our lives and choose to be present in each moment. This is what therapy is for—and without a doubt, the journey is worthwhile.

About me

Amar by Ana Martínez

Soy psicóloga sanitaria, terapeuta Gestalt y educadora, especialista en  trauma, EMDR y crianza. Trabajo desde los enfoques de la Psicología Humanista y Sistémica.

I am also a couples therapist. I provide support with expatriation and other immigration processes. I can assist you in Spanish or English.

I’m passionate about the world of emotions. I am interested in understanding what causes each person to suffer and, from there, supporting them so they can live calmly, regardless of what’s happening around them. After more than fifteen years of working with children and families as a teacher and educator, I realised that my place in the world is to offer a safe space where, when someone needs it, they can understand what’s happening to them and learn to use their own tools in every life situation. Furthermore, having experienced moments of unrest, sadness, and anxiety on this exciting path of personal growth has allowed me to bring my own journey of self-knowledge to the service of my clients.

All of this makes me feel deeply motivated to accompany you in your own life process.

Specialities

Services

*All services are offered both presencial en Madrid and online. Available in Spanish / English.

Individual Therapy

Life becomes easier when we have a safe space to share everything that worries us. By your side, I can accompany and guide you through whatever is troubling you, helping you address the issues that prevent you from being fully present in your daily life and living life to the fullest.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy helps identify the vital aspects of a relationship that aren’t working. It also provides an opportunity to understand our behavioural and attachment patterns, so we can learn to resolve conflicts thoughtfully together, fostering growth both individually and as a couple.

Trauma, EMDR and Attachment

From a trauma-informed perspective, we can work with your nervous system to help it learn to stay calm or return to a state of calm.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an effective psychotherapy method that has been shown to help people recover from distressing past experiences, including attachment-related trauma. For over ten years, the World Health Organization has recommended EMDR for the treatment and management of trauma-related disorders.

Expatriation and Cultural Adaptation

Many of us have experienced—or are experiencing—living in a context or country different from our culture of origin, which can be challenging. With the right support, this process becomes easier and more manageable.

Parenting Counselling

We know that motherhood and fatherhood can be difficult and complex at different times. Sometimes, we may feel unsure about how to support our children in certain situations. I can help you understand what’s happening in this important relationship, so you can enjoy your time together as a family more fully.

Groups

A group provides a safe space to work alongside people who are experiencing similar challenges, discussing difficulties that arise in daily life related to the specific topic of each group. Together with fellow therapists and psychologists, I lead the following groups:

– Acompañamiento en la crianza desde la Fundación Claudio Naranjo: A self-care space for adults supporting children through various stages of development.
– Psychology for Everyday Life: For adults and young people who want to understand and transform recurring patterns in daily life.
– Fertility Support Groups: Fertility can be a delicate stage, often bringing feelings of loneliness, fear, uncertainty, or conflict with your partner. You don’t have to go through it alone.
– Emotional Support During Breastfeeding: While we often focus on the physiological aspects of breastfeeding, the emotional experiences involved are just as important. Understanding what’s happening emotionally helps you feel better about yourself and your baby.
