“Now I have the confidence to do what used to feel impossible, with my family and everyday life. I feel grounded.” — Manuel Velasco.
What Brings You Here
You’ve been trying your best. Maybe you did therapy, read a lot, understood a lot, yet something still doesn’t feel settled.
Because trauma doesn’t pay attention to who you are.
What it costs is a loss of self, a loss of identity.
You might feel it as distance from yourself. Reacting instead of choosing. Pulling back or pushing through, even when part of you knows better.
The goal is to help you recover yourself, your healthy identity, so you can see clearly, trust yourself, and live with autonomy and freedom.
As you process trauma, something changes.
You feel more connected to yourself, less controlled by old survival reactions, and more able to rebuild the life you want.
You don’t have to stay here.
We can explore the way forward together.
My Approach to Healing
I don’t believe in rushed healing or one-size-fits-all answers. What I offer is trauma therapy designed to work with your system, not against it.
I use the intention method from Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Theory (IoPT), together with body-based regulation tools. Trauma doesn’t discriminate, it can quietly cost you your sense of self and freedom.
This work helps you recover that healthy identity, so you can reconnect with yourself and perceive both yourself and reality as they are, not through the lens of past threat.
Rather than pushing for insight, we focus on integration. The kind of change that actually holds in daily life.
Trauma integration that brings lasting resolution.
Nervous system regulation, restoring your balance.
Reconnect with your self, dissolving survival patterns.
Identity and boundary rebuild, to show up as you.
Sessions meet you where you are, individual, always tailored to your priorities and what your system is ready for. No forced digging, no re‑traumatizing. Just steady, organic progress.
Healing isn’t about managing symptoms forever, it’s about being free to respond, choose, and live from who you are now.
The aim of this work isn’t dependence on therapy.
It’s autonomy: being yourself again, with self-trust, and rebuilding a life that no longer revolves around survival.
We move at your pace.
And forward.
Why This Works
Most people don’t need more information about trauma.
What they need is the right environment and method to heal: safely, sustainably, and without re-traumatizing themselves.
That’s why I use IoPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Theory), a gentle, integration-focused approach to trauma therapy.
After working with other methods, I’ve found this approach to be gentler, more sustainable and effective for trauma and CPTSD.
Unlike methods that dig into traumatic memories (which can be intense and destabilizing), IoPT works with your nervous system to only surface what you’re ready to process, so sessions feel grounded and relieving as you recover yourself, rather than overwhelming.
The result?
Not just symptom relief, but integration.
You feel more like yourself. Less confusion, less survival-mode. More clarity, stability, and confidence to live life as you.
This is how trauma becomes something you’ve been through, not something that keeps running your choices or identity.
They Got Through
A deep sense of relief and clarity.
I can finally feel grounded in my feelings, trust myself, and be who I actually am.
— How Clients describe it.
Melissa Koay
Consultant
I got to a permanent embodied feeling shift in my safety and security in myself, and because of that I was able to attract the healthy relationship. Now it is easy to show up in the way that I want to, healthy and securely, while being myself.
Sarah Welch
Teacher and musician
I used to get so frustrated very easily. But now that is gone. Now I see things coming and my emotions remain more balanced. It has helped me improve the relationship with my partner and work colleagues. I feel more confident and I now enjoy the small things in live.
G. K.
Film Production & Marketing
I always had a chip on my shoulder. I thought I was very analytical and high performing. But now I have my thoughts more on my side. I can perform better, take better decisions and feel more at ease.
What I Help You Heal
Trauma doesn’t always show up as clear memories of the past.
Often, it’s felt in how you react, relate, and move through everyday life. Even when you’re doing your best.
You might notice emotional overwhelm or shutdown, persistent self-doubt, difficulty trusting yourself or others, high-functioning anxiety, or physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, or gut issues without a clear cause.
Sometimes the reason isn’t obvious, and it doesn’t need to be.
Wanting to feel lighter, more grounded, and more yourself again is enough.
This work supports healing when one or more of the following feels familiar:
Childhood Trauma
& CPTSD
Emotional Shutdown
& Overwhelm
Inner Critic &
Negative Self-Talk
Pre-natal, Preverbal
& Birth Trauma
Transgenerational Trauma
Grief & Loss
These experiences can overlap with different conditions. In our first conversation, we’ll make sure it’s safe to work together and explore what kind of support is appropriate for you.
What matters isn’t the label, it’s whether you’re ready to work with the patterns that keep pulling you back.
What Change Looks Like
Melissa came to therapy overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, disconnected from herself.
She had tried other approaches before. What changed wasn’t pushing or quick fixes, but working gently, at her pace, in a way that finally held.
In this short conversation, she shares what shifted for her, and how healing became something she could actually live with.
About me
Like many people with trauma, I functioned. But I felt disconnected, overwhelmed, and pulled back by reactions I didn't understand.
As I healed shame, guilt and other CPTD symptoms, something fundamental changed. I re-discovered trust in myself. Not by pushing harder, but by becoming more aligned with who I am.
Over time, I found love and built a shared life. I later became the CEO of a maritime company, a long-held dream rooted in my passion for sustainability. I could do that because my inner world became steadier.
That journey taught me something essential:
healing isn't just about feeling better. It's about being able to live, choose, and rebuild your life from yourself.
Wanting to support others in their healing, I completed a postgraduate degree in Psychotrauma and am currently registering as a trauma therapist in Norway, where I live.
I combine trauma-specific approaches with practical integration. To help rediscover yourself, rebuild your life, and move with more freedom toward what matters to you.
My name is Carlos Garcés, trauma therapist.
I'm here to support you through this journey.
1:1 Trauma Therapy
This work is designed to help you come back to yourself steadily and safely, and to see yourself and reality more clearly.
Not just insight, but integration.
We work with what’s underneath the patterns, and support you between sessions so change can hold.
Sessions available in English, Spanish and Catalan.
Integration Plan
This is trauma‑specific work for adults in survival mode who are ready for more than insight, want real, lived change.
It is the way most people choose to work with me. It includes each month:
2 private therapy sessions (90 minutes each)
Online, trauma-specific, gentle depth work (IoPT + somatic support), paced to your nervous system.
Focused resources after sessions
Short guidance to help you, reflect and integrate what showed up in a session.
Ongoing support via chat + email
So you’re not alone when things come up. For grounding, clarity, and next steps.
This work helps you recover your healthy identity after trauma; so you can see yourself and reality clearly, rebuild your life, and live with real autonomy and freedom.
€200/month
A fixed monthly plan, equivalent to €100 per session.
Most people choose 2 sessions per month, and we can adapt if you want more frequent sessions.
We start with a free clarity call, where we explore whether this approach is right for you.
Prefer a single session?
I also offer individual trauma therapy sessions at €125 per session.
Single sessions are 90 minutes of focused trauma work, ideal if you want to experience this approach, need support with something acute.
We’ll explore together in the clarity call what approach fits you best for your situation.
Common Questions
I’ve tried therapy before and didn’t get lasting results. How is this different?
What makes this different is that we don’t just talk, we work with how trauma lives in your body, nervous system, and identity.
I use IOPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy) and somatic tools to help you process what’s unresolved in a way that feels safe and grounded, without retraumatizing. There is no agenda, we focus on what you want to release.
Will sessions feel too intense or overwhelming?
No. We go at your pace. The method only brings up what’s safe to process, no retraumatizing or blind digging. Clients tend to leave each session relieved, more grounded, and with a real sense of clarity and progress.
Is online trauma therapy effective for CPTSD and other traumas?
Yes. When it’s paced and oriented towards integration and re-discovering your personal autonomy.
Online trauma therapy can be highly effective for CPTSD and other sensitive backgrounds such as sexual trauma. The aim is to feel safer in your body, less ruled by survival patterns, and more like yourself again. Even if you’ve lived with these symptoms for a long time.
With CPTSD and sensitive backgrounds, progress comes from working step by step. Processing triggers that are small enough to stay regulated, but meaningful enough to create lasting shifts that build on each other.
Do you use EMDR or other trauma techniques?
I’ve worked with EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches in the past. While EMDR is highly effective for certain cases, I now primarily use IOPT, because it is more gentle, allows us to go at your pace, without re-traumatizing, and leads to deeper integration. Clients often feel more stable, more clear, and more like themselves after each session.
Do I need a trauma or CPTSD diagnosis, and when is the right time to start therapy?
No, you don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin.
Many people never receive a label but still struggle with overwhelm, shutdown, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t shift. You don’t have to be sure it’s trauma to reach out.
There’s rarely a perfect time to start. But trauma patterns tend to settle in more deeply when they’re left unaddressed; often becoming louder, more rigid, or more limiting over time.
If you’re more aware than before, still stuck, and quietly wondering whether things could change, that’s often a meaningful sign.
Because these experiences can overlap with other conditions, we approach them carefully. In a free clarity call, we’ll explore what you’re experiencing and whether this support is a safe next step for you.
How long will I need therapy?
That depends on your goals and what’s there to process. Most clients begin to feel real shifts within the first sessions: more clarity, stability, or a sense of relief.
And by 90 days, many say things feel different in a lasting way: their reactions, relationships, and day-to-day choices start reflecting who they really are; not just what they’ve been through.
This work isn’t forever. It’s here to support you until the shift holds, and you can move forward with freedom and trust in yourself.
You’ve done the work to survive.
Now let’s focus on what comes next.
