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. I also work with trauma, ADHD and neurodivergence, OCD, bereavement, imposter syndrome, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, and questions around sexuality or identity.
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.
Alongside my clinical work, I am completing a Master's degree in Psychoanalysis in Buenos Aires with the AEAPG & Universidad Nacional de La Matanza. Chosen for their strong psychoanalytic focus, these institutions form part of a city renowned for its psychoanalytic tradition. This shapes our work together, particularly if you are seeking not only relief from symptoms, but also a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and recurring patterns in your life.
I am an LGBTQ+ and GRSD (gender, relationship and sexual diversity) affirmative therapist, and our work together will be grounded in cultural awareness and sensitivity.
I work with adults (18+ only).
