Santiago De Ossorno Garcia

I specialise in brief, focused therapy that creates real change, sometimes in just one session, as I am an expert in Single Session and One at the time therapy. My primary approach is solution-focused, drawing on CBT, EMDR (for trauma), person-centred work, and brief strategic interventions, so we use whatever fits your situation rather than a fixed protocol. I support adults and young people with anxiety, depression and low mood, work stress and imposter syndrome, life transitions and grief, OCD and intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties (individual work, not couples), addiction patterns, and the specific pressures of migration and expat life. Sessions run fully in English or Spanish. Most clients work with me for 1–8 sessions, occasionally extending to 12–16 when needed. Together we get clear on what you want to achieve and track whether our work together is actually helping, so therapy stays focused, honest, and accessible rather than open-ended by default.

Counselling Psychologist, (HCPC), UK — registration PYL040507, Doctorate in Psychology (PhD), MSc in Psychological Therapies, MRes in Behavioural and Health Sciences; 15+ years in the field of Mental Health

I’m Dr. Santiago de Ossorno, a Counselling Psychologist (HCPC, UK) and Psicólogo General Sanitario (COP Madrid, Spain), with a Doctorate in Psychology and over 15 years across NHS, CAMHS, and digital mental health settings in both countries.
I’m direct and warm, and I bring scientific rigour without losing the human connection that makes therapy work. I founded Door to Therapy in 2025 because I believe high-quality psychological care should be straightforward, timely, and affordable, without rigid treatment manuals or long waiting lists. Alongside clinical work, I lecture in psychology and sit on the committee for the 6th International Symposium on Single Session Therapies, so my practice stays grounded in current research.
Having trained and worked across both the UK and Spain, I understand what it means to navigate between cultures, languages and systems, and I bring that to how I work with clients building lives between countries.
