About me
Hi, I am Beatriz. I am a psychologist and have a Master's in Mindfulness based psychotherapy.
My work aims to build a safe and confidential space where you can bring all aspects of yourself without fear of criticism or judgment. I work with people who experience low mood and a lack of meaning in their lives; I also work with people experiencing fear and anxiety. I am experienced in working with people who have had adverse circumstances in their childhood.
My training in mindfulness offers you a way to connect with yourself more fully and to develop practical skills for self-listening. This can be helpful if you find yourself disconnected from your feelings or having difficulties in understanding, communicating and/or relating with others.
I am fluent in English and Spanish and I often work with members of the Spanish speaking community who prefer to be heard and supported in their native language.
I also work with people who feel that I can relate more easily to the challenges of adjusting to life in a different country and understand the subtleties of navigating cultural codes both at work and in cross-cultural relationships.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Psychologist (BSc) and I also hold a certificate in Counselling and a Masters in Mindfulness based Psychotherapy (PQMA). I trained as a Feeding your Demons Facilitator, an approach that supports spiritual practitioners with t psychological issues/obstacles in their spiritual path.
I am an experienced Psychology teacher and a certified Mindfulness teacher. I have worked full time as a Psychotherapist since 2017.
