Cristina Galán López

About Cristina

I am Cristina Galán, a clinical psychologist and graduate of the University of Málaga, with more than 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families in clinical, educational and community settings.

Since 2005 I have worked at the Municipal Psychopedagogical Service of the Estepona Town Council. Alongside this, I see clients in private practice, both in person and online.

I specialise in emotional abuse, emotional dependency, relational trauma, victimology and controlling dynamics. My approach is based on functional behavioural analysis and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have specific training in psychological trauma, support after relationships with narcissistic or psychopathic partners, personality disorders, mediation with adolescents and psychoneuroimmunology.

I am currently carrying out doctoral research on abusive relationships in adolescence, looking at victimisation, attachment, emotional regulation, psychological distress and executive functions.

My aim is to offer you a safe, warm and rigorous space where you can understand what you are going through and regain a sense of control over your life.
