About me
I didn't come to this work through textbooks. I came to it through my own difficult years: depression, addiction, a long search for meaning, and a slow turning inward that therapy helped me make. That experience shapes how I sit with people. I know what it is to feel stuck, and I know that change rarely comes from being fixed.
I see the struggles that bring people to therapy not as failures but as something asking to be understood. Rather than only managing symptoms, we explore their roots: your story, your body, your relationships and what you long for.
My work rests on three kinds of listening:
Listening to the depths. Drawing on Jungian psychology, I pay attention to dreams, images and recurring themes. The unconscious holds our pain, but it can also offer guidance.
Listening to the body. As a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, currently training in NARM, I work gently with how early experiences live on in the nervous system, at a pace your system can manage.
Listening in relationship. What happens between us often mirrors patterns elsewhere in life. With present-moment awareness and parts work (IFS), we can meet those patterns, and the parts of you behind them, with more compassion.
Who I work with
I work with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only feel better for a while. People often come to me when they are: caught in the same relationship patterns, or feeling numb or cut off living with anxiety, depression or burnout grieving a loss, or going through a major life transition
carrying the effects of a difficult childhood (developmental trauma)
in recovery from addiction, or noticing patterns of compulsion or escape
questioning meaning, direction or vocation.
I grew up between Spain and the US and lived for twenty years in London, so belonging, identity and starting over are familiar to me. Many of the people I work with see themselves as outsiders or seekers.
Integration support
I also support people who have been through spiritual experiences or crises, or powerful experiences with psychedelics or plant medicines. We work to make sense of what came up and to bring it into everyday life, with care for anything that felt overwhelming or unfinished.
Beyond any method, what I offer is presence: steady, patient and curious. I listen to what you say, and to what is felt beneath it.
Training, qualifications & experience
I studied in Re-vision, achieving the Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
