About me
This might be a time when you’re going through life’s ups and downs, or personal challenges. You could be feeling that something is stuck or missing, or that things could be better. Or maybe you want to explore and reflect on experiences or aspects of your life. I understand those experiences deeply, and I can relate to the feelings of being stuck or in search of something more fulfilling. Therapy provides that unique space, focusing entirely on you, your growth, your well-being, and your journey.
I have experience working with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including overall mental health concerns, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, significant events, family or work conflicts, grief and loss, perinatal emotional challenges, parenting, self-esteem, confidence, and stressors related to neurodiversity.
The therapeutic approach I practice is rooted in Humanistic psychology, which in a nutshell means that I value and respect your unique circumstances and that I am ready to be real and connect with you, human to human. I offer a holistic approach that considers the connection between mind and body, and I will encourage you to learn about yourself and make your own decisions.
Si hablas español, podemos trabajar juntos en español si lo prefieres.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

I offer a free 15 minute online introductory call so I can hear about your reason for seeking therapy at this time. It is important for both of us to feel comfortable with each other. I will be open with you if I don’t think I am the right therapist for you, and will ask the same of you.

Further information
My cultural background is Spanish. I worked internationally as a software engineer for more than a decade before I found the courage to embark on my own self-development journey, becoming a coach and then a psychotherapist. I have studied, worked and lived in the Nordics before settling in the UK.
I understand the corporate world and the pressures that are part of it, I know how it is to move countries and adapt to different ways of working and cultures.
I welcome all cultural backgrounds into my therapeutic space. Acknowledging our differences and similarities, and those of the mainstream culture that we are part of, might prove helpful during our work together.
