Raquel Martínez Margalejo

General health psychologist specializing in relational psychotherapy, with experience supporting individuals, families, and children through periods of change, emotional difficulty, and personal transformation.

Her psychoanalytic training forms the foundation of her therapeutic approach: a way of understanding the depth of human experience, personal history, relationships, and the aspects of ourselves that need to be heard and worked through.

Raquel Martínez integrates relational and mentalization-based perspectives to support each person as an individual, creating a safe space to understand what is happening, make sense of their history, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anaïs Nin
