Emotional and Relational Counseling

The first Spanish-American online support and assistance platform based in Spain

 

Did you know that it is possible -and doable!- to improve your life,

with its many relationships, and its emotional ups and downs?

Unfortunately, we have not been taught these key life skills, which involve becoming aware of what we experience inside,

how it affects both us and those around us, and how to manage and accept what we feel, no matter what it is.

 

Speak-Your-Mind

People who are intelectually driven are ‘dominated’ by their thinking and reasoning, and this greatly determines their experiences and decisions.

Open Heart

Emotional people are sometimes overwhelmed by their feelings and emotions, which determine how they live their lives.

Body Present

The instinctive center of the body can become detrimental if excessive activity becomes a way of avoiding getting in touch with needs and emotions.

Hi! I am Be Pryce

Gestalt-oriented Counselor for emotional and relational support

Be Pryce is a certified Gestalt Counselor -Gestalt is a humanistic therapeutical approach- and a very-soon-to-be psychologist as she is currently completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. She lives between Madrid and Galicia, Spain, and is a mother of two amazing young women. She is a learner and a finder, a serious meditator and yoga practitioner, and perseverent questioner of what is offered to our senses. She strongly believes that being a serious learner opens mind and spirit to healing and knowledge. This is why, besides pursuing her degree in Psychology, she is also a systemic and trauma-informed therapist, and has completed a good number of courses such as Integrative and Transpersonal Psychology (SAT Enneagram Program taught by Dr Claudio Naranjo), Voice Work as a Therapeutic Tool, and Music Therapy for Teachers. She had briefly studied music and singing, beats the piano and the guitar lovingly, and loves to enthusiastically discuss any deep or superficial topic with family and friends. She is an avid reader, a nature breather, a tech enthusiast and a movie and arts lover.

Transpersonal-Oriented Counseling

For those who want to go beyond the root of human suffering in order to understand it and leave it behind, HereandNow Institute offers transpersonal counseling and support.

Our vision encompasses the existential aspect that appears when basic human emotional and behavioural aspects are identified and dealt with.

Transpersonal counseling supports emotional counseling and its goal is to help us to get to know ourselves more deeply, to discover the meaning and purpose of our life, and to walk the path to conscious life and death.

The Three Pillars of HereandNowInstitute

HereandNow Institute was born as a global platform to support 3 aspects:

Online Support and Counseling

Online support and assistance service for people who experience emotional and relational difficulties, such as anxiety, stress, sadness, emptiness, fear, compulsive behaviour, painful relationships or isolation, and who want to receive this assistance from the comfort and privacy of their home.

Existential and Transpersonal Orientation

We offer existential and transpersonal orientation for people who feel compelled to explore the transpersonal aspects of their existence. Life and death looked upon as much more than what we merely experience with our senses.

A Space to Spread and Mainstream Ideas

We are enthusiastic about providing a space to disseminate ideas, help de-stigmatize emotional and relational counseling, popularize emotional support services in times of difficulty, and encourage transpersonal inquiry through evidence-based techniques and practice support.

Our Vision

We at HereandNow Institute realized years ago that swallowed, unspoken, shameful, angry, sad, disregarded emotions, were in the root of suffering, for we were trying to avoid them or deny them, which prevented us from simply living our lives as they are.

Culturally, we have been trained to conceal, disguise, deny, distort or manipulate our emotional states, and this greatly complicates our relationships with those around us and with ourselves.

At HereandNow Institute we offer you assistance and emotional support in the here and the now, so you can learn to LIVE life to its fullest meaning and potential.

Online or in-person?

Benefits of Online Counseling

Online counseling is an innovative, convenient and confidential way to undergo a counseling process, where all communication between client and counselor takes place via video-conference platforms which allow a safe and private interaction.

Although there is no in-person interaction, there are many advantages and benefits of online therapy. We outline some of them below:

Reduced cost

Online emotional support leads to a significant reduction in costs, not only travel costs, but also regarding time and effort.

From any location, anywhere in the world

Thanks to technology, online counseling is made possible for people who live in remote regions or with difficult access, such as rural populations and isolated areas. Online counseling can also benefit expats all over the world, who might find access to this type of service in their own language difficult.

Counseling Over A Screen Does Work!!

Perhaps you resonate with the  HereandNow Institute’s approach and services, and want to give it a chance, but you live in the other end of the world! No problem, we can still make it work, because creating a bond over a screen is a lot easier done than said! 

Better access to emotional or transpersonal counseling support

Online counseling favors accessibility for people with mobility difficulties or with conditions that can prevent leaving their homes and attending in-person consultation. In these cases, online emotional assistance not only can be very beneficial for the client, but can also benefit their relatives and caretakers.

Anonymity And Discretion

Online counseling creates a space where sensitive topics can be discussed safely. In online counseling sessions, people usually feel less intimidated than in in-person sessions, because they are in a familiar and safe context such as their home or office. 

 

 

Timetable Flexibility

Online counseling can have more flexible working hours. For those clients that work full-time and find it hard to make time for the face-to-face sessions, online therapy can prove very suitable.

"There are several things that makes Beatrice not only a great therapist but someone ideal to counsel a troubled soul. One is that she often speaks from her own experience; unlike many very formal counselors and psychologists, Beatrice has worked on herself and has overcome very similar issues to those that many of her clients seek to overcome. In that sense, she does not paint a rosy picture or gives out magical recipes. She knows that sometimes it is not easy to get out of a quagmire, which frees the patient from that certain feeling of guilt that always accompanies those who do not see how to overcome an imbalance...

E.G.

"...But Beatriz's life experiences are nonetheless circumstantial. It is not his merit. What is his merit is his tremendous intuition and his ability to get to the root of problems, without detours or subterfuges. Or his frankness, how he manages that inevitable tug-of-war between therapist and patient. When he knows that you can give more, he will ask you more. When it detects that you are at your limit, you will lift your foot off the accelerator. But it will not let the patient fall into accommodation or complacency. He prefers to lose a patient rather than accompany him in his self-deception. And this, honesty, is something that is reflected in everything he does and says."

E.G.

"Beatrice is a wonderful person. Not only has my life changed completely, she has helped me to find myself. The road is long and hard, but you will always have a shoulder to support you... My life would not be the same without Beatriz. I have been able to meet, love, and embrace my own fears. Not only has she taught and guided me, but she has given me the tools to continue alone on the path of life..."

G. M.

"They say that when the disciple is ready, the teacher appears and that is what HereandNow Institute and specifically Be Pryce did for me. Beatrice has taught me that in life, being able to be flexible, helps you to flow with it, to accept situations and to connect with your inner and true self, which has always been and will be there to listen to you and help you. I deeply appreciate everything that she has given me and helped with"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is online counseling about?

Online counseling makes talking therapy available and affordable for all. It’s not about trying to replace face-to-face counseling, as many people prefer that, which is fine. It’s about allowing more people to benefit from counseling and overcome their day-to-day challenges in a stigma-free environment.

What kind of issues can be addressed online?

Any issue! From anxiety, fears, family or couples difficulties, to compulsive behaviors, grief, separation, physical ailments, existential topics.

How often will we meet?

Initially I recommend to meet up once a week. Before starting we will discuss what frequency works best for your specific circumstances, however it is important to understand that meeting weekly during the first few weeks, is a vital part of successful results. The consistency of a weekly session contributes to the development of a relationship that is secure and helps foster the feeling of safety and trust that will allow us to work on a deeper, more effective level.

How do I protect my privacy?

From our company we have adopted all the necessary measures, both technical and procedural to ensure that we protect your privacy. Both videoconferences and digital communications are made using encrypted channels and we do not store any type of sensitive information from our customers.
