Watch: Inside One-to-One Care

Why Marbella proximity and Sotogrande privacy help with anxiety

Marbella has pace and visibility. Our private villa in Sotogrande is about 50 minutes from Marbella, which gives you distance from noise without leaving your life behind. Mediterranean light, sea air and gardens down-train hyperarousal. Unbranded surroundings protect your anonymity. We arrange discreet transfers from Marbella, Puerto Banús, Málaga and Gibraltar. Short device windows can be scheduled in the Executive Programme when essential.

How anxiety shows up

Anxiety is more than overthinking. It is an internal alarm that does not switch off. Common experiences include:

• Persistent worry, hypervigilance and worst case scenario thinking
• Physical symptoms such as chest tightness, stomach knots, tremors, headaches and insomnia
• Panic spikes with heart racing, breath restriction, dizziness or derealisation
• Social threat sensitivity that makes speaking up or attending meetings difficult
• Compulsive reassurance seeking, checking or other safety behaviours
• Avoidance of places, tasks or relationships that trigger fear

Anxiety frequently overlaps with depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, sleep disturbance and perfectionism. If this sounds familiar, read our dual diagnosis overview and the mental health and eating disorders hub.

What we treat

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder with chronic worry, rumination and over planning
• Panic disorder and panic attacks including fear of fear
• Social anxiety and performance fear
• Health anxiety with intrusive body checking and reassurance seeking
• OCD related anxiety and uncertainty intolerance (OCD treatment)
• Trauma related hyperarousal (PTSD and trauma)
• Anxiety linked to perfectionism, shame and identity pressure

How one-to-one treatment actually works here

Every plan blends targeted psychotherapy with regulation and creative work so mind and body move together. You are never pushed faster than your system can hold, which is why the work lasts. Explore our one-to-one therapy model and why many choose the private route over groups.

• CBT: map triggers and beliefs, run graded experiments that loosen rigid loops
• DBT: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundaries and interpersonal effectiveness
• ACT: values based action when urge or anxiety flares
• 12 Step counselling: integrated, non dogmatic, one to one
• IPT: grief, role transitions and relational repair
• IFS and attachment work: parts that over protect, perform or punish
• MET Therapy: resolve ambivalence and build momentum for change
• TRE and breathwork: down train threat and restore interoception
• Yoga therapy and mindfulness: safety in the body and present focus
• Art, sound and movement: expression when words are not enough
• Hypnotherapy and Gestalt when indicated
• Equine assisted therapy and bespoke therapies

The daily rhythm that calms the nervous system

Recovery is easier when the day is clear and gentle. A typical day includes:

• Morning grounding with TRE, mindful breathing or gentle movement
• One-to-one psychotherapy, targeted skills practice and integration time
• Afternoon creative work, a nature walk or restorative rest
• Optional bodywork via massage, acupuncture or tailored physiotherapy
• Evening wind down with journaling, breath practice and simple sleep protection

When anxiety occurs with other conditions

Anxiety frequently rides with depression, ADHD, trauma and substance use. If alcohol, stimulants or sedatives are present, we work within the alcohol and drug pathways and can coordinate supervised detoxification with licensed partners. For identity, perfectionism and shame dynamics, see self esteem and identity work.
