ABOUT
Evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults on the Costa del Sol.
At The Laliberte Center, we are interested in the psychological well-being of men, women and children.
Our fully qualified professional psychologists offer evidence-based cognitive behavioural treatments and support to nurture a person's innate ability to achieve a better and healthier life.
The tailored programmes we provide at The Laliberte Center draw from the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, meditation and hypnosis available today.
We believe that all individuals have enormous potential for growth and a strong ability to overcome difficulties with the right kind of support and assistance.
Our treatments offer clients the opportunity to learn skills that will enable them to 'pace' or 'tune' their lives in healthier ways, towards new, more desirable directions and life paths.
Many of our bespoke training sessions and workshops utilise the peaceful countryside of the southern tip of Spain where our center is located as an important point of departure.
We believe that nature plays a vital role in the psychological health and well-being of an individual and encourage treatments that incorporate the outdoor environment and physical activity wherever possible, if desired.
We offer treatments in English, Spanish and Norwegian/Swedish.

With the right training and support, people can develop the tools to better navigate life's challenges.
