... I'd love to accompany you in your process
My name is Carlos Garces
I watched others move forward in their lives… while everything felt harder for me. I tried everything, but I always found myself repeating the same patterns and mistakes. I was stuck.
It wasn’t a lack of discipline, being stupid, or broken. By growing up in a dysfunctional family I developed complex trauma (CPTSD).
At my lowest I could not do anything. Toxic relationships, burned out from work and my always-on-alert nervous system overwhelmed me.
Only trauma therapy helped. Then I was able to rebuild my life. I started a company. Won international awards. But especially, I started enjoying little things, I found love and I started sleeping well at night.
At times healing was not easy. That is why I want to support you in this journey. I completed an EMDR psychotrauma postgraduate. But it was IoPT that cleared blocks I was not aware of. Now I am an IoPT therapist.
My commitment is to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. And say: “I got through”.

This is what my clients say
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.

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.

Common Questions
How is the first session?
In the first session we’ll explore what are your needs and what is your main goal. Then we will start exploring and processing what lies behind your reactions or symptoms. Even when you do not know where those are coming from. Gradually, you’ll start living more fully.
How long is each session and how often should I have one?
Each session is 1h 30 minutes. It is design to process what shows up, without rushing, and closing each session feeling more grounded and whole. In the first session, we’ll explore what frequency works best for you (weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly…). People typically choose 2 sessions per month.
I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help. How is this different?
With IoPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy) method we don’t just talk. We find how trauma lives in your mind and body. Even when you are not sure where your symptoms are coming from. From this place of awareness and clarity you’ll be able to process what keeps activating you.
I used before EMDR and other somatic approaches. I found IoPT safer and more effective. You find what really is happening in you, where everything is coming from and process it. Without "blindly digging".
Do I need a trauma or CPTSD diagnosis to start trauma therapy?
No. Many people never get diagnosed, but still struggle with emotional overwhelm, shutdowns, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t shift. You don’t have to be sure it's trauma to reach out. Together will assess your situation and whether this approach is the right next step for your wellbeing.
Is online trauma therapy effective for CPTSD?
Yes. When it’s paced and oriented towards your personal autonomy, online trauma therapy can be highly effective. IoPT brings up what’s safe to process. No forced exposure or digging that can retraumatize you.
With CPTSD, progress comes from working step by step, and integrating each estep. Processing triggers that are small enough to stay regulated, but meaningful enough to create lasting shifts that build on each other.
How long will I need therapy?
That depends what’s there to process. It is a very personal journey that shouldn't be forced. Sometimes a few sessions are enough. Sometimes it requires a more prolonged support.
Clients often feel significant change within the first few sessions. This work is not meant to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you heal and grow, so you can fly free by yourself.
My commitment is that if your process is not moving forward as expected, I’ll offer you alternatives or with whom to continue. Your wellbeing is my priority.
