One-to-One Therapy in Spain: Private Rehab Support for Addiction, Eating Disorders & Mental Health
At Oasis Premium Recovery we deliver fully private one-to-one therapy in Spain, blending evidence-informed talking therapies with gentle, body-based methods. This expanded guide explains which therapies we use, why they work, what they look like in practice, and the conditions we treat. For a feel of the setting, see The One-to-One Residence, Accommodations, and Life at Oasis.
How we choose your mix
We start with quiet, honest mapping of pressures, history, strengths, and limits. Then we select a small set of methods that address your goals from both directions:
- Top down: clear understanding and steady skills (for example CBT, DBT, ACT, MET, Gestalt).
- Bottom up: body-based regulation that makes change easier to apply (for example TRE, Yoga Therapy, Sound Therapy, Reiki, Hypnotherapy, Art Therapy, Functional Breathing, Mindfulness and Meditation).
Everything is paced and consent-based. We focus on two or three outcomes that will make your next three months meaningfully better.
Therapies we offer (overview)
- CBT — practical thought and behaviour change; exposure where helpful.
- DBT — emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundaries, communication.
- ACT — values-led action, cognitive defusion, acceptance skills.
- MET — motivation, ambivalence resolution, planning follow-through.
- Gestalt — present-moment awareness, clear boundaries, safe experiments.
- Hypnotherapy — calm rehearsal of new responses and scripts.
- Yoga Therapy — breath, gentle movement, interoception.
- Sound Therapy — soothing tones for downshifting arousal.
- TRE — gentle release of tension through natural tremors.
- Art Therapy — non-verbal processing and insight.
- Reiki and Energy Healing — quiet restoration and regulation.
- Mindfulness and Meditation — steadier attention and less reactivity.
- Functional Breathing — low, slow nasal breathing and CO₂ tolerance work.
Why these therapies work (the mechanisms we target)
- Arousal down, choice up: when the body settles, you can think and choose. Bottom-up methods lower baseline stress so skills “stick.”
- Repetition over intensity: small practices, done often, change habits faster than occasional big efforts.
- Values-led action: ACT and MET align behaviour with what actually matters to you, not just what feels urgent.
- Skills under pressure: DBT and CBT give compact steps to use in real moments, not just in the room.
- Safe exposure: gradual, consent-based exposure (CBT, DBT, cold training when appropriate) teaches the system you can feel intensity and still choose.
Therapy-by-therapy details
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Why it works: it links situations, thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests new responses in small steps. Over time, learned patterns shift.
What it looks like: brief thought records, behavioural experiments, activity scheduling. For OCD, exposure with response prevention may be used when safe.
Best for: anxiety, low mood, OCD, insomnia, relapse prevention with alcohol or substances.
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
Why it works: it teaches you to survive high emotion without harmful actions, and to ask for what you need while holding self-respect.
What it looks like: STOP, TIPP, opposite action, self-soothe, and DEAR MAN lines rehearsed for real situations.
Best for: emotion dysregulation, urges, eating concerns, conflict and boundary issues.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
Why it works: it frees you from struggle with thoughts and feelings so you can act on values now, not later.
What it looks like: defusion practices, values mapping, tiny committed actions.
Best for: low mood, anxiety, burnout, meaning and motivation.
MET (Motivational Enhancement Therapy)
Why it works: it resolves ambivalence and builds commitment without pressure, then plans the first realistic steps.
What it looks like: values reflection, readiness scaling, “if-then” plans for high-risk moments.
Best for: alcohol, drugs, food addiction, habit change.
Gestalt
Why it works: awareness in the moment reveals patterns you can change now, especially in relationships and boundaries.
What it looks like: safe, small experiments in-session; noticing mixed signals; clearer boundary lines.
Best for: attachment wounds, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance.
Hypnotherapy
Why it works: calm, focused attention makes rehearsal of new responses more memorable under stress.
What it looks like: brief induction, values-led suggestions, and vivid practice of the action you’ll take outside.
Best for: urges, sleep onset, performance stress, habit loops.
Yoga Therapy
Why it works: breath and gentle movement reduce arousal and rebuild trust in the body.
What it looks like: low, slow breathing; small-range movement; 5–10 minute home sequences.
Best for: anxiety, trauma-linked patterns, eating concerns, sleep.
Sound Therapy
Why it works: predictable tones help lengthen the exhale and soften holding patterns so sleep and focus improve.
What it looks like: low volume, consent-based sound field, followed by quiet integration.
Best for: sleep disruption, agitation, burnout.
TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises)
Why it works: gentle tremors discharge stored tension; the body learns to return to calm more readily.
What it looks like: consent-based positions, brief tremor windows, frequent rests.
Best for: stress accumulation, muscle tension, trauma-linked patterns when paced.
Art Therapy
Why it works: images hold complexity words can miss; expression lowers intensity and reveals options.
What it looks like: simple prompts, short making time, title and one action.
Best for: grief, low mood, anxiety, perfectionism.
Reiki and Energy Healing
Why it works: deep relaxation reduces arousal so skills are easier to use afterwards.
What it looks like: hands-on or hands-off work by consent, predictable pacing, quiet close.
Best for: agitation, sleep, gentle reconnection.
Mindfulness and Functional Breathing
Why they work: attention training plus breath mechanics produce steadier physiology and clearer choices.
What they look like: micro-practices of 2–5 minutes, repeated daily; low, slow nasal breathing with a slightly longer exhale.
Best for: anxiety, urges, rumination, sleep onset.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I stay for private one-to-one therapy?
Many guests choose two to six weeks depending on aims and responsibilities. We design a plan that fits your calendar and continue with online aftercare once you return home.
Will I be asked to join groups?
No. Your programme is fully one-to-one. Optional restorative or skills sessions can be added, but there is no group requirement.
Can my partner or family be involved?
Yes, if you wish. We can schedule private family sessions online or on-site to support communication and boundaries.
Do you allow phones and laptops?
Yes, within simple boundaries that protect progress and privacy. See our technology policy for how we keep time focused and calm.
What if I need detox or medical input?
Where needed we coordinate safe detoxification and outline roles and limits on our medical page. Plans remain consent-based and paced.
Can I bring my dog?
Sometimes. Availability is limited and assessed case by case. Read more on our pet-friendly page.
What happens if a method does not suit me?
We adapt quickly. If something is not useful or feels unsafe, we change it. Your plan stays flexible and centred on what works for you.
What if I struggle with home practice?
We keep actions very small and realistic. If tasks do not happen, we simplify, change timing, or switch the tool until it fits your day.
