About me
Integrative Counsellor offering sessions in English & Spanish.
I have expertise and specific training in working with Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem, Sex & Intimacy. Furthermore, I am a Prostate Cancer Survivor myself, and I could offer you empathetic mental health support on this matter.
Working from an Integrative approach allows me to offer holistic support, using different techniques depending on each client's needs in a confidential and nonjudgmental space.
As a therapist, I aim to help you better understand yourself through collaborative thinking. I identify the root of your struggles, prompt you to seek help, and eventually find an alternative path to dealing with them.
I am available for online sessions and currently work with clients in the UK and overseas, as well as in the EU, America, and Australia.
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 the 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 allow me to ask you why you started therapy, learn more about your life history, and assess what you expect from sessions.

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.
