Manilva — the municipality at the western tip of the Costa del Sol, encompassing the marina resort of Duquesa, the seafront of Sabinillas, and the hillside village of Manilva itself — marks the gateway to Andalucía's frontier with Gibraltar and the Strait. Its significant British and Irish community includes many who have settled here for the affordability, the quieter pace compared with the towns further east, and the extraordinary position between two seas. For its English-speaking residents experiencing anxiety, LAR Coaching provides specialist online recovery coaching in English — the expert support this community deserves.
Manilva's British community sits at the end of the Costa del Sol's expat trail — geographically removed enough from the major hubs that specialist English-language services are essentially absent locally. For residents with anxiety, this means that support has historically required a drive to Estepona, Marbella, or further.
LAR Coaching's online model removes that journey entirely. Sessions are available from your home via Zoom, phone, or FaceTime in English, at times that suit you.
Our coaches are trained in the Linden Method and have recovered from anxiety themselves. We support all anxiety conditions: generalised anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, PTSD, emetophobia, agoraphobia, postnatal anxiety, and anxiety-related eating disorders and derealisation.
Manilva's wine and Duquesa's marina are best enjoyed free from the shadow of anxiety. Your recovery is our purpose — contact us to begin.

Most anxiety treatments — including CBT, talking therapies, and medication — address anxiety symptoms rather than the underlying cause. The Linden Method works at the neurological root of anxiety by re-educating the amygdala, the brain's fear-response centre. This allows the brain's alarm system to return to a normal threshold, producing not better coping but complete, permanent recovery. It has been used by over 650,000 people in 190 countries since 1996 and has been reviewed by NHS professionals.
