Psychotherapy and Psychologist Leiden

My name is Paola Bobadilla, Psychologist and Licensed in Psychology, provider of psychotherapy for Expats in Leiden and its surroundings. Born in Chili and working International I’m now settled in The Netherlands. Here I continue my work as a psychologist and therapist, focusing on helping English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Expats, so they can express themselves in their native language about sensitive, personal, and sometimes complicated feelings and thoughts.

Sometimes in life we are confronted with the fact that we can no longer manage stressful situations alone. When fears, insecurities, sadness, depressed feelings, or unexplained physical burdens take over life, it makes sense to seek professional support to discover new perspectives and possibilities to increase life energy again.

Transpersonal psychotherapy Leiden

As a provider of psychotherapy and psychologist in Leiden I’m offering transpersonal psychotherapy. Transpersonal psychotherapy is an effective method of accompanying mental processes. It has developed based on transpersonal psychology and thus integrates psychological and spiritual aspects.



One can say that through training in transpersonal process work, we promote the development of the whole person. Shadows are integrated and we get an insight into our timeless transpersonal potential. Over time, a fundamental change occurs in our mind: we embody more and more the central transpersonal attitudes, such as presence, openness, and acceptance, in all aspects of our being and acting. Little by little, this will be reflected in all our lives and relationships.
