Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello,
Welcome to my profile!
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom.
I am credentialed in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I am also an experienced Life Coach for Personal Transformation and Clinical Hypnotherapist with ten years of experience in the field of mental health.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and a full member of the British Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy (BSCH).
I specialise in working with people who experience problems like the ones below:
Relationship problems
Difficulty in creating or maintaining romantic relationships
Difficulties with partners
Problems of communication in the relationship
Recovering from painful break-ups
Unhealthy patterns in romantic relationships
Anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder)
Social Anxiety

Low mood
Mild and moderate depression
Low self-esteem
Problems with boundaries and people pleasing behaviours
Problems at work
Difficult work relationships
Bullying at work
Work-related stress and anxiety
Feeling stuck in your career
Career Change
Life changes
Not coping well with life changes
About Me:
My approach combines principles from Person-centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. When appropriate, I use guided meditations, visualisations and psycho-imaginative techniques to help my clients explore what concerns them and to find creative solutions.
How I Can Help You:
My personal approach to psychological help is underpinned by the Integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy.
I believe it is important to understand your goals and needs before coming up with a plan to work on the problem that caused to look for help in the first place.
In our first session we will discuss how we can work together to help you. Each client is different and what works for one may not work for another.
Clients come to therapy when they are suffering and have not been able to overcome their challenges by themselves. Therefore, my aim is to help you to identify what is causing you pain, to name the challenge and to work with it in a compassionate, life-enhancing way. I strongly believe that to make real and sustainable changes, it is important to become aware of what drives and motivates us to behave in ways that are not beneficial to our mental health and wellbeing.
As your therapist, my aim is to give you the support and encouragement you need to face your challenges and to overcome them.
I am bilingual (English-Spanish).
(For Spanish, see my profile in Spanish).
I am looking forward to hearing from you! Please do get in touch!
