Elena Espil Psychologist

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, university professor and researcher based in Buenos Aires. I'm fully bilingual and bicultural due to life&studies in the UK, USA and New Zealand. I've been catering for the Expat Community here in Buenos Aires for more than a decade now and also attend to clients in Europe and the USA via online platforms.
My research lines cover mainly Relational Psychotherapy, Sexualities, Attachment styles and Gender Studies. I have a background in arts and the humanities since I'm a graduate opera director and English/Spanish translator and Interpreter. I see the therapeutic process as a fascinating and creative journey into one's true self and potentials

My approach

Connecting with others is at the heart of human nature. It's what make our lives livable and our bodies healthy. But human relationships are -and especially in contemporary times- far from simple. Communication therefore plays a main role in easing relationships and making them fulfilling experiences And because there is never a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate diverse therapeutic approaches into my work with clients. But the first goal in my practice is to create a safe space where the upbuilding of trust can be achieved. It's only then that a journey to restore our full capacities to enjoy life will ensue.
