Retreats and immersive programs such as the Inner Waves Retreat are also offered to support deeper emotional exploration and relational healing.

Therapy is offered within professional and ethical practice frameworks that prioritise confidentiality, emotional safety and informed consent, with structured preparatory and integrative support for clients engaging with intense emotional work or psychedelic integration.

Care pathway

Prospective clients begin by contacting Yaëlle Halberstam to discuss their concerns, goals and which services might be most suitable. After an initial conversation, individual or couple therapy sessions are scheduled at agreed intervals, either online or in person in Barcelona. For psychedelic preparation and integration, preparatory sessions explore intentions and readiness, and follow‑up integration sessions help clients reflect on, make meaning of and translate experiences into everyday life. Group therapy and retreat participation involve additional steps such as scheduled dates and preparatory communication.
