I’m  Claire, Founder of Claire Nemchik Therapy, a Dutch American therapist living and working in Barcelona. In 2012, I graduated from the University of Amsterdam with a Master degree in Behavioural Sciences.

 As an expat myself and a mother of two (Noa, 2019 and Viego, 2021), I know first-hand how challenging international moves can be and how it is to adjust to a new country and culture whilst raising children.

 Prior to moving to Barcelona, I worked in private practice for five years in Singapore. This has allowed me to work proficiently with children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds with a broad range of psychiatric and developmental difficulties.

I provide psychotherapy and counselling to children, adolescents and/or their family who need help in coping with difficult circumstances or experience emotional or behavioural difficulties.

 I understand the importance of working closely with the child, their caregivers and other professionals or agencies in order to achieve positive outcomes. I aim to adjust interventions to suit individual clients best and have a holistic and solution focused approach in which I also focus on the strengths of the child.
