Sorkari

What Sorkari does

Sorkari S.L. is a private psychological counseling and personal development practice headquartered in Sopela, Basque Country, Spain, founded in 1998 by clinical psychologist Ana Belén Pardo Porto. The company delivers individual, couple, and family therapy alongside organizational training programs, using a multidisciplinary team approach that combines modalities such as humanistic therapy, systemic family therapy, Gestalt, Eneagrama, Sandplay therapy, family constellations, art therapy, music therapy, body awareness work, animal-assisted therapy, and radiesthesia. Processes for therapy clients typically run 2-10 sessions delivered weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

The business operates through three differentiated physical locations: a primary urban center in Sopela, a countryside farm in Laukiz with horses and farm animals used for animal-assisted therapy, and a seaside lighthouse ('El Faro') in Barrika used for personal development experiences combining live music, movement, and body awareness work. Beyond clinical therapy, Sorkari delivers formation (training) programs to healthcare, education, public administration, and private enterprise clients, including packaged offerings such as the saLUZ program developed for Osakidetza for 2024-2025.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services fees under quote-based, non-disclosed pricing. Distribution is relationship-led and primarily regional to the Basque Country and broader Spain, with go-to-market driven by direct in-person delivery, word-of-mouth referrals, and institutional partnerships. The company is founder-controlled, privately held with no external investment, and operates without a software product, app, or disclosed digital platform.

Emerging players

• Calm: Digital meditation, sleep, and mental wellness app with a B2B sales motion into employers and health systems. Overlaps with Sorkari's El Faro and saLUZ offerings in content (mindfulness, breathwork) but competes via a vastly more scalable, low-cost delivery model.
• Headspace: Digital mindfulness and mental wellness platform with a growing B2B channel serving employers and health plans. Comparable to Sorkari's mindfulness/stress-management training in product, but delivered digitally at scale rather than in-person.

Direct peers

• SHA Wellness Clinic: Spain-based wellness clinic combining integrative therapies, nutrition, and mind-body programs in a premium destination setting. Comparable to Sorkari's 'Espacios de Bienestar' (El Faro, Bienestar en el campo) experiential wellness offerings, though at a much larger and more international scale.
• ISEP (Instituto Superior de Estudios Psicológicos): Spanish institute offering clinical psychology training and direct psychological services to individuals and organizations. Most directly comparable to Sorkari in combining a clinical therapy practice with professional training programs and B2B contracts.
• Grupo 5 (Gestión Integral de Servicios Sociosanitarios): Spanish provider of psychosocial and socio-sanitary services to public administrations, including therapeutic accompaniment, family support, and training. Comparable as a Spain-based multidisciplinary team serving public-sector clients with social and psychological services.
• Six Senses (Spain): Operator of luxury wellness resorts including locations in Spain (Ibiza). Comparable in offering destination-based wellness experiences integrating body, mind, and movement work — though at a luxury hospitality scale rather than a psychotherapy practice.

Broad incumbents

• Cegos Spain: Global management consulting and corporate training group with a Spanish affiliate delivering soft-skills, leadership, and change-management programs. Comparable to Sorkari's Formación line (socio-emotional skills, conflict management) but serving a broader enterprise portfolio.
• DKV (Mundisalud and corporate wellness): Spanish health insurer with a dedicated psychology and corporate wellness arm serving SMEs and large accounts. Comparable to Sorkari's B2B training and individual therapy segments, though with a national distribution footprint and digital delivery.
• Sanitas (psychology and corporate wellness): Large Spanish health insurer and provider with psychology services and corporate wellness offerings. Comparable to Sorkari as a provider of psychological services to both individuals and organizations, though at vastly greater scale and with insurance-driven revenue.

Regional players

• Hospes Hotels: Spanish boutique hotel group with a dedicated wellness and experiential programming line across its properties. Comparable to Sorkari's destination-based wellness concept (El Faro, Bienestar en el campo) at a multi-property Spanish scale.
