About me

Ursula Oberst, Ph.D.

I was born in Germany, but for almost 30 years, I have made my home in Barcelona. I studied psychology at the University of Konstanz (Germany), completed training in Adlerian psychology at the Alfred-Adler-Institut in Zürich (Switzerland) and obtained a doctorate in Psychology at the Ramon Llull University in Barcelona.

My work moves along three interconnected axes: counseling and psychotherapy, teaching and training (for psychologists, psychotherapists and counselors), and dissemination (courses, conferences, webinars and, above all, books).

PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I understand psychotherapy not only as a way to treat psychological symptoms and disorders, but as a philosophy for life, as an instrument for improving people’s psychological well-being and the human experience.

That’s why I like Adlerian psychology, which emphasizes prevention and personal growth, especially through parenting and education. Adlerians around the world are concerned about social issues such as equality, social justice, human rights, and ecology.
