Clara del Castillo París

As a child and adolescent psychologist specialised in neurodevelopmental disorders, I work at the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. My therapeutic approach is integrative, with a particular emphasis on cognitive-behavioural therapy, which allows me to adapt interventions to the specific needs of each patient. With solid experience in the international field, having worked in the NHS in the United Kingdom, I treat children, adolescents and young adults, offering them comprehensive support ranging from early detection and neuropsychological assessment to therapeutic intervention.

My aim is to accompany patients in their developmental process, both in the educational and family context, helping them to overcome the emotional and cognitive barriers that may affect their well-being and performance.
