Hylé Consulta de Psicología was founded in 2013 in the heart of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia district by its founder, Alejandro García Alamán, with the aim of offering professional therapeutic accompaniment to all those people who find themselves in a complicated situation or who wish to improve their psychological and emotional well-being.

Hylé is a registered health centre, dedicated to offering the best guarantees of professionalism, with closeness, warmth and commitment to psychotherapeutic work as its main features.

Hylé’s working philosophy Psychology Consultation

Currently, Hylé Consulta de Psicología has a team of psychologists with diverse training capable of covering multiple areas of intervention, ranging from sexology and couple relationships to interventions with psychological trauma or coaching in the health field, professional or personal.

Although each therapeutic process is unique, the work philosophy that characterizes Hylé Consultant Psychology is framed within Humanist Psychology, placing special emphasis on the link between the professional and the person , as well as on the use of empirically validated methods.

Therapy is oriented from this link towards a process of proper problem definition; from this point on, exploration and experimentation of novel solutions takes place, similar to problem solving methods.
Finally, in this psychotherapy centre it is assumed that a correct follow-up is essential to check that the changes made are solidly consolidated.

How does Hylé work?

Hylé’s team coordinates to analyze patient needs and select the most appropriate psychologist in each case based on their particular characteristics, preferences and availability.

The work is carried out on the basis of Rogers’ attitudes (widespread in the profession, regardless of the theoretical framework) of unconditional acceptance, empathy and authenticity, creating the right environment for each person to build their own tools, objectives and strategies for change. In Hylé they embrace the belief that every human being has the potential to overcome their problems by finding creative and personalized alternatives .

The concept of psychology at Hylé encompasses not only the individual circumstance of the patient, but also addresses the social and relational context in which the patient’s integral development takes place, and therefore the intervention is aimed at achieving the maximum degree of adaptation and personal growth possible.

Beyond therapy

Hylé Consulta de Psicología not only offers psychotherapy services, but its forms of assistance go beyond treatment and support to patients. These are other common areas of work.

1. Sexology and Couples Therapy

Relationships are one of Hylé’s key areas of work. The enormous complexity and diversity of human sexuality and intimate relationships require an open, respectful and comprehensive approach regardless of age, history, situation or orientation of sexual desire.

In couples therapy, special care is taken to accept all points of view and perceived problems, without valuing one over the other. The method followed is aligned with the latest evidence, and takes into account attention to individual needs as well as relational dynamics.

The objective is to improve the well-being of all the members of the couple, in the way they consider most appropriate, and to achieve this a rigorous therapeutic program focused on the achievement of goals is followed.

2. Intervention with adolescents

The transition from childhood to the adult world is a time of internal changes and turbulence that can sometimes cause a lot of discomfort.

Moreover, this is a crucial time in the formation of a complex adult identity, so prevention work is especially important, especially in view of exposure to potential risks related to sexuality, addictions and other dangerous behaviour.

Hylé’s team specializes in dealing with the psychological problems associated with adolescence, not only derived from psychotherapeutic practice, but also in settings such as school .

3. Training and teaching

One of the vocations of Hylé’s professionals is the dissemination of knowledge and common tools from research in psychology and therapeutic practice to the public interested in acquiring useful skills in their daily lives.

The training provided by this organisation may be aimed at other professionals in the sector and at the general public, or at specific groups and areas such as schools, associations or companies.

For some time now, Hylé has been providing tutoring services to internship students in the Psychology degree, as well as in the clinical psychology master’s degree, since some of the collaborators and members of the professional team, such as Alejandro García or Mònica Antequera, have a strong commitment to teaching and scientific research in recognised universities such as the University of Barcelona or the UOC.

4. Company

In the business field, Hylé can draw on the extensive knowledge provided by Alejandro García’s 20 years of experience in IT consulting, which, combined with his training and psychotherapeutic practice, provides added value in addressing today’s mental health challenges in the workplace .

Hylé offers various programs to promote psychological well-being in the business world, as well as to improve relational and organizational dynamics from this perspective.

In addition, at Hylé, they are also specialists in the field of professional orientation or coaching, both individually and in groups , having participated in training programmes for labour reinsertion.

His collaborator Alexandra Reguera develops coaching projects for managers in the technology sector; both she and Mònica Antequera have experience in identifying the psychological aspects related to suitability for the job.

5. Coaching

The coaching service offered by Hylé is not only focused on the work aspect, but also covers the personal area, where we accompany the person in the process of setting their own satisfactory and realistic life goals, planning their achievement and achieving these goals .

In this aspect, Roser Figueroa is a certified Health Coach, which allows her to guide those who consult her in a process of improving their health habits without having to make the choice of a healthy life an excessively complicated experience.
