About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood or self esteem? Let's map out together the change you'd like for yourself in 2025.
Our work together can help you get more control of difficult thoughts & feelings, gain confidence and make changes.
Together, we'll work on the thoughts and feelings that are impacting your ability to live life to the full. We'll work psychodynamically - this means we'll make sense of your unconscious processes and past experiences - empowering to you to become the version of yourself you want to be.
In your free intro call, we'll form an initial understanding of what you'd like to work on, and our approach for getting you where you want to be. This will give you a good idea of what it would be like to work together. If this sounds like it might work for you, do reach out or book an intro call
Our work will combine psychoanalytic and integrative transactional analysis theories. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish
Training, qualifications & experience
- My specialist areas are anxiety, self-esteem and low mood/ depression.
- Some areas I often work with include low mood/ depression, trauma (processing past trauma/ difficult events, repressed memories & feelings), ADHD & neurodivergence, OCD, addiction, bereavement, imposter syndrome, stress and burnout, relationships, sexual and identity issues.
- I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and completed a 4 year postgraduate course in Integrative Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.
- I am an LGBTQ+, GRSD (gender, relationship and sexual diversity) affirmative therapist.
- My practice is grounded in cultural awareness and sensitivity. I have a particular interest in how our cultural background shapes us.
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.
