Formación Psicoterapia was a turning point in my career. I came from a more structured and technical approach, but here I discovered a far more human and effective way of practising therapy. The training taught me to assess each case more thoroughly, to organise my work, and to integrate psychotherapy tools that have transformed the way I work. Thanks to this training, I reconnected with my vocation and began to truly enjoy my profession again. Nothing matters more to me than feeling confident in my practice and seeing real results.
The opportunity to train online with Formación Psicoterapia has been a wonderful experience for me. The flexibility has allowed me to progress at my own pace without compromising the quality of my learning. The courses have reinforced the importance of the therapeutic relationship and updated me on approaches I could not find elsewhere. Moreover, the way knowledge is conveyed makes every course a truly enriching experience. It has helped me not only to grow as a professional, but also on a personal level.
Before joining this institution, I did not have the confidence to face a therapeutic process as a therapist with a patient. Today I practise and thoroughly enjoy my profession. Before this, there were always excuses or reasons to never begin — those fears, both as a patient and as a professional… and here all of that truly dissolved.
Training with Formación Psicoterapia has been like finding a GPS on my professional journey. It has given me clarity, structure and tools that have transformed the way I work with patients and families. Before, I felt lost in certain cases, unsure how to approach particular sessions, but now I know exactly where to direct the therapy. This training also inspired me to write my first book — something I never would have imagined. I feel part of a community that is genuinely committed to quality and continuous learning.
Training with Formación Psicoterapia has completely changed the way I approach therapy. Before, in sessions, I focused on symptoms, but now I understand that what truly matters is the patient's life story. The question is no longer "what is wrong with you?" but "how did you get here?" This more integrative perspective has allowed me to accompany my patients in a deeper and more effective way. It is a training that not only teaches theory, but transforms the way you work and understand psychotherapy.
For me, this has been the foundation of my way of working. When I finished my degree I was disillusioned with psychology and what I thought I could expect from it. However, since I took the leap and enrolled in the Master's, they have become my greatest reference point — both in how I work and even in how I see life. I hope this conveys just how important they have been, and continue to be, to me.
