About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood or self esteem?

Our work together can help you make sense and gain more control of your difficult thoughts & feelings, gain confidence and make changes in your life.

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'd like 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 could work for you, do reach out or book an intro call. Our work together will combine psychoanalytic and integrative transactional analysis theories. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

Experience and approach:

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, bereavement, imposter syndrome, stress and burnout, relationships, sexual and identity issues.
In our time together, we’ll draw on two core foundations of my work: a four-year postgraduate course in Integrative Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, and training in Relational Psychoanalysis with the International Association of Relational Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
I am an LGBTQ+ and GRSD (gender, relationship and sexual diversity) affirmative therapist.
Our work together will be grounded in cultural awareness and sensitivity, accounting for how our cultural background shapes us.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I work with adults (18+ only).
