Therapeutic care

At Centro Sira we provide comprehensive psychological and psychiatric care to people affected by torture, institutional, migratory or structural violence.

Our model combines clinical intervention with psychosocial, gender, systemic and cross-cultural approaches, adapted to each life history.

To whom it is addressed

We accompany those who have experienced trauma, crisis, bereavement or any form of violence, regardless of their administrative situation, place of origin or economic capacity.

Therapeutic services
we offer

Our approach combines clinical, psychosocial, corporal and cultural tools, adapted to each person, group or professional reality.

1. Individual clinical care

Psychotherapy with professionals specialised in violence, complex trauma and mental health from a humanistic and integrative perspective.

2. Psychosocial accompaniment

Initial emotional support, active listening and crisis intervention for stabilisation and containment.

3. Somatic and body integration therapies

Mindfulness, therapeutic yoga, art therapy and “Bodies in movement” as a way of mind-body connection in trauma recovery.

4. Vicarious trauma support

Spaces for care and prevention of burnout for people working with victims: lawyers, aid workers, health and social workers.

5. Group and community therapy

Collective processes of accompaniment for groups affected by experiences of violence or exclusion.

6. Cross-cultural therapies and in co-ordination with traditional healers

Sensitive attention to symbolic, spiritual and cultural codes in migrant or intercultural contexts.
