About me

Hi, I am Teodoro, and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor.

Working from the Integrative approach allows me to offer holistic support by using different techniques depending on each client's needs in a confidential and non-judgmental space.

I have specific training and proven expertise in working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and self-acceptance, focusing difficulties (including ADHD), trauma and sexuality issues. Furthermore, I am a Cancer survivor myself, and I could offer you empathetic mental health support on this matter.

As a therapist, I aim to help you better understand who you are through collaborative thinking, identifying the root of your struggles, which has prompted you to seek help and eventually find an alternative path to deal with them.

I am available for face-to-face sessions at London Bridge and Brighton & Hove. Also, I work online via Zoom within the UK and overseas in the EU and every Spanish-speaking country. 

How will I work with you?

Sharing your thoughts and feelings with another person can be very challenging. I offer a safe, reflective and confidential space with this in mind, with respect for all of your experiences.

I will focus our work on building awareness to understand who you are. You are all the result of your life experiences; identifying the connections between the past and the present will help you find new ways of looking at things and promote change through acceptance.

I firmly believe in mind and body connection and how trauma can affect our self-esteem and the ability to manage relationships and intimacy.  

I invite you to contact me if you have any questions. We can arrange a brief, informal discussion about your situation and explore the possibility of starting therapeutic work.

What to expect in your first session

The first session will focus on whether we can connect. It will also be an opportunity for me to ask you questions about the reasons that have prompted you to start therapy, learn more about your life history, and look at what you expect from sessions.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).
