Therapeutic support

Therapeutic support
through grief, loss and life changes

Welcome
Welcome

Welcome

I accompany you through those moments in life when, because of our own or outside circumstances, we feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck.

Putting what we're going through into words helps us understand it better. But not everything is about understanding. We also need to make room for our emotions and find other ways to express and care for what we feel.

That's why, as well as talking, we work with the body, the breath, movement and creative expression.

Situations

How I can support you

Grief after the death of a loved one

Someone you love has died and, while the world keeps turning, you feel as if your life has stopped. Maybe the pain overwhelms you, maybe you feel empty, or maybe you feel nothing at all and that unsettles you too. It may be a recent loss or one from years ago, expected or sudden.

Here you'll find a safe space to talk about death, life and love, and to express pain through the body, the breath and creativity when words fall short.

Trauma, illness and life crises

You're going through a traumatic experience, or still feel the effects of something that happened a long time ago. Perhaps you've experienced abuse, an illness, an accident or a sudden change in your circumstances.

Here you'll find a space to understand how what you've been through shows up in your body, your thoughts and your emotions. At your own pace, we can begin to tell apart the reactions that experience left in you from who you are. This can help you feel safer in your body and be with yourself again with trust and kindness.

Changes, losses and separations

A separation, a job change, a move, an illness, becoming a mother or a chapter coming to an end has left you without solid ground. Maybe it's a change you didn't choose, or one you did choose that still stirs you up. It's hard to know what you feel and what you need.

Here you'll find a place to pause, put words to what's shifting, and understand what no longer makes sense and what new needs are emerging.

Self-esteem, identity and self-worth

You judge yourself harshly, demand more of yourself than you can give, or feel you never measure up. It's hard to let yourself be who you are; you feel you're letting yourself down, or not living up to what's expected of you.

Here you'll find tools to look at your inner dialogue and build a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself.

Relationships, communication and boundaries

It's hard to say what you need, you say yes when you'd like to say no, or you lash out when you can't take any more. Perhaps you keep repeating the same patterns with your partner, family, friends or at work.

Here you'll find resources to recognise your needs, communicate them more clearly and understand how you relate to others.

How will we work?

I combine conversation with practices that involve the body and creativity, because understanding what's happening to us rationally isn't always enough to ease it.

TALKING AND UNDERSTANDING

We explore what lies beneath what's worrying you and which thoughts shape how you interpret your experience, so you gain clarity and the freedom to choose.

FEELING AND LETTING GO

We work with movement, breath, visualisation and creative expression to release pain, let emotions flow and make visible what we can't put into words. You don't need any artistic skill or previous body practice: these are simple exercises.

TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

You take home short movement, breathing and meditation practices to support you between sessions.

INNER SUPPORT

We focus on strengthening your own inner support. From a good relationship with yourself, it's easier to face change, know what you need and ask others for support.

Every session is different and adapts to how you arrive that day. It might be a conversation, gentle movement to release tension, a drawing, a visualisation or a few minutes of breathing. There's never any rush, and you never have to do anything you don't want to.

My approach

The way I accompany people is humanistic, grounded in empathy, compassion and respect for each person's process.

I'm not trying to change you, but to offer you a space to pause, listen to yourself and see yourself with more clarity and acceptance. I trust your ability to understand what you're going through, discern what you need and find your own way of facing life. My role is to accompany you and offer resources, without imposing answers or paths.

Mireia Castellsagué

About me

My path into therapeutic support began after the sudden death of my partner, and my search for support that would help me not only understand the loss but also make space for the pain and emotions. That experience showed me that accompanying grief also needs the body and expression, not just words.

I've devoted 21 years to yoga and meditation, exploring the interconnection between body, mind and emotions. I completed the postgraduate course in Loss, Crisis and Grief at the University of Girona and I'm now training in Gestalt and humanistic therapy.

Today I teach yoga and lead teacher trainings, give oncology yoga classes, and offer individual and group therapeutic support.

Testimonials

This grief group has been a haven of calm, despite the thousand emotions it stirred in me, and a space where I could devote time and care to my grief. I had always worked on grief from a mental place, and here I was able to work on it from a more sensory place too, which helped me so much. Paula and Mireia are wonderful: caring, respectful, fun, and they really know what they're doing and how to do it. A thousand thanks to them and to the wonderful group that came together. Thank you, lovely ladies!

The grief group was a gift to myself; it came at just the right time, when the pain was buried too deep. Every session was different: there were dynamic moments and others of listening, sharing, crying… and chocolate! It allowed us to open up completely and let all those strange, dark, lonely feelings flow, because they created the comfort we needed in every session, with no pressure and no judgement, and it brought me a great deal of serenity. We walked a shared path, coming from different moments in life and each carrying a different emotional load, and sharing it with the group was the right choice: without realising it, we helped each other. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What happens in the first session?

It's a meeting to get to know each other and talk about what brought you here. You can also ask me how I work. Afterwards, you can take your time to decide whether you'd like to continue.

What if I don't know where to start?

We can start with whatever feels easiest to share, even if it's just how you feel today. We'll find the words together, at your pace.

What if I'm afraid of getting emotional or talking about something?

We can pause whenever you need. You decide what you want to share and when you feel like talking about it.

What will we do in the breathing and movement part?

We can learn to breathe more fully and try different breathing exercises depending on how you feel. Sometimes a simple gesture, like stroking your hands or your face, can help bring you back to the present when your thoughts keep spinning.

We can also do gentle stretches to bring some relief to the body, or more dynamic movement to release tension or energise you, depending on what you need that day. These are simple practices we adapt to your pace.

How do we work with art? Do I need to know how to paint?

You can start with a little music and let the brush move across the paper. We can give shape and colour to what you feel, write down what's going through your mind or what's hard to say out loud, or start from a photograph to explore how you are.

No experience needed. If a suggestion doesn't appeal to you, we can just keep talking.

Can I have sessions online?

Yes. Sessions can take place in Granollers or online, in Catalan, Spanish or English.
