Laura Nhate

I am Laura, a psychologist specialising in trauma and addictions, and co-founder of PsicoDiversa. I see people in Málaga, in the Carretera de Cádiz area, and online across Spain. I work with adults, couples, families and groups. I have worked with people facing addictions, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma, and also with emotional dependency and personal growth.

I studied psychology at the University of Málaga and specialised in health psychology at UNIR. I trained in EMDR and in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I keep training every year so the work stays close to current research. I co-founded Asociación PsicoDiversa, which gives talks in schools in Málaga province, and I co-host the podcast En Modo Psi.

A behaviour rarely stays stopped if we never understand what function it had. I look at the origin of the symptom. EMDR and IFS are not a magic wand. I use them without closed recipes, adapted to your history and your needs. Symptom relief matters. So does a life with meaning, and more compassion toward yourself. Self-demand and guilt often arrive before you do. Part of the work is turning their volume down. I know the cost of saying some things out loud. My first task is that you can say them without fear.
