About me

A driven and internationally experienced Lead Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of clinical practice spanning Argentina, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Currently registered with the HCPC and working within North London Foundation NHS Trust, delivering specialist psychological care to highly complex adult populations including individuals experiencing homelessness, severe mental illness, trauma, and comorbid presentations.

With a rich integrative clinical background encompassing CBT, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), DBT, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Trauma-Informed Care, I bring both depth and versatility to every clinical role. I have extensive experience - gained across both NHS and private practice - assessing and treating neurodivergent individuals, including ASD and ADHD across the lifespan, from children and adolescents to adults, delivering tailored psychological interventions that address the unique needs of this population. I am currently completing ADOS-2 & ADI-R accredited training to further strengthen this specialist expertise. I am a confident supervisor, MDT collaborator, and service developer with demonstrable expertise in audit, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice. My multilingual profile (Spanish, Italian, English) and lived experience of cultural adaptation uniquely position me to deliver culturally sensitive, high-quality psychological services across diverse, international contexts worldwide.

I am seeking a clinical psychology role internationally where my breadth of expertise, international perspective, and commitment to excellence can contribute meaningfully to the growth of mental health services
