Therapy that starts with feeling safe

Ways we can work together

Bienestar

Individual Therapy

In person or online · 50 to 55 minutes · weekly, every two weeks, or as needed

We start with what matters to you: what you want to change, what’s hard right now, and what has already helped. Sessions are shaped around your goals, not a fixed method. Lasting change usually comes from small, steady steps, and we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable.

Body-Centered Psychotherapy

Mainly in person · online available

Some experiences aren’t stored only as thoughts. They are also felt in the body as tension, numbness, restlessness or old reactions that words can’t reach. Using gentle guided grounding, movement, breath and expression, we pay attention to what your body is holding. We also work with your Autonomic Nervous System so it can settle and feel safe again.

Hands-on-healing

Modality:
– In-person

– Online

A gentle, holistic hands-on practice drawn from 30 years of training. It’s meant to support any medical or psychological care you already receive, never to replace it.

Discover your Nervous System Personal Profile.

A 10-session program · in person or online

Modality:
– In-person

– Online

Why do some situations make you freeze, rush or shut down? Over ten sessions we map how your nervous system responds to stress, connection and rest, and how that shows up in your relationships, work and energy. You finish with a clear personal profile and practical ways to use it every day.

I work with people who, because of their personal history and life experiences, want to regain their self-confidence and trust in others and in life to the fullest.

I ask my patients to state their goals in therapy, for us to work together in sessions.

About Enrique Arelllano

How I work

Therapy is a relationship between two people. Before any technique can help, there needs to be a foundation of availability, warmth and connection. As Dr. Stephen Porges puts it, “Safety is the treatment.” My first job is to help you feel safe enough to explore your heart, your mind and your life situation.

From there, I draw on the approaches that fit you best.

Core approaches

  • AEDP: working with emotion to build resilience and heal your relationship with yourself and others
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): getting to know the different “parts” of you with curiosity, not judgment
  • Body Psychotherapy: including the body in the healing process
  • Mindfulness: noticing what’s happening now, without being overwhelmed by it

Other methods I’m trained in

  • Interpersonal Neurobiology: understanding how mind, body and relationships together shape your experience of life and your connection with others and the wider world
  • PBSP (Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor): working with memories in an embodied, systemic way
  • EMDR and Brainspotting: processing difficult or traumatic experiences
  • Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and the Finding Solid Ground Program: working with dissociative states of traumatic origin
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): understanding and reshaping emotional patterns in close relationships
  • Relational and attachment-based work: Object Relations, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Attachment-Informed Psychotherapy and Family Therapy
  • Parents and families: Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Circle of Security Parenting

Complementary practices

If you wish, I also offer complementary methods that support a whole-Self experience: Brennan Healing Science, Upledger CranioSacral Therapy, energy healing and shamanic work.

I am a practising psychotherapist and a member of the EABP (European Association for Body Psychotherapy), part of the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP). I specialise in IFS (Level 3 completed) and AEDP. Drawing on these and the methods above, I tailor our work to what will help you most.
