Introducing Myself
I am a registered integrative psychotherapist with extensive experience in working for different mental health services.
I have trained and worked within the NHS Maudsley Hospital, the Institute of Psychiatry and their local IAPT services (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) in which I provided counselling to individuals experiencing depression, generalised anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, grief and stress.
During my training as a psychotherapist, I have also worked for LAPIS (London Accessible Psychotherapy Independent Service), a charity service that offers an accessible therapy service to individuals with chronic health conditions or disabilities as well as support for their carers and family members.
Since 2015 I have been working within the private mental health sector, providing support to inpatients experiencing acute mental distress.
About Therapy
I consider therapy as a journey that will help you to get to know yourself better to improve your quality of life. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery which can promote positive transformation by adopting new attitudes of looking at life, your relationship towards yourself and others.
I work on the premise that every individual can thrive and achieve self-actualisation.
With everything that is going on in the world today, a sense of uncertainty may arise which can put a strain in our mental health. It is important, particularly through this difficult time, that we bring more self-awareness to how we are feeling, our thoughts and how these can affect our behaviour and relationships. Therapy can offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these.
I aim to provide a confidential, warm, empathic and reflective space where you can safely explore your current difficulties and discover your inner strengths to help you achieve personal development and have a positive change in your life and current relationships.
I tailor my way of working according to the individual's needs as I believe that everyone is unique, using different therapeutic approaches and schools of thought to understand your concerns and therapeutic goals. I integrate humanistic (Person Centred) and Existential principles along with psychodynamic approaches, placing a strong focus on the importance of our therapeutic relationship.
I offer therapy for different types of personal difficulties such as low self esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, generalised anxiety, stress and worries, anger and grief.

Psicoterapia
Sobre mi y mi experiencia
Soy psicoterapeuta registrada en el Reino Unido bajo BACP basada en el centro de Londres. Llevo trabajando en servicios de salud mental hace más de ocho años.
Ofrezco apoyo a adultos con problemas de ansiedad, depresión, inquietudes sociales y emocionales, dificultades relacionadas con el apego, autoestima, duelo por pérdida de un ser querido o ruptura familiar.
Sobre la terapia
Comenzar la terapia es desalentador. Entiendo que puede ser difícil confiar tus pensamientos y sentimientos en un extraño. Por lo tanto, ofrezco una llamada gratis exploratoria para que puedas decidir mejor si te sientes cómodo hablando conmigo y si mi enfoque te conviene. No hay obligación de comenzar la terapia, esa decisión es completamente tuya.
Con la psicoterapia podrás ganar una nueva perspectiva sobre ti mismo y perspicacia en tu existencia. Eso te permitirá explorar nuevas opciones y hacer diferentes elecciones, y te ayudará a manejar mejor los desafíos de la vida, tanto hoy como en el futuro.
En mi trabajo uso una amplia combinación de perspectivas que incluye teorías de psicodinámica, humanista y existencial así como técnicas y conocimientos de varias otras escuelas psicológicas y de pensamiento.
En cada sesión encontrarás un ambiente confidencial, calmo, seguro donde ser escuchado y donde tu puedas desarrollar nuevas formas de relacionarse con la vida y con las personas. Cada sesión dura 50 minutos y por lo menos nos reunimos una vez por semana.
Ubicación
Mi consultorio queda cerca a la estación de tren de London Bridge y a unos minutos de la estación de Borough. Hay varias rutas de buses disponibles como 343, 45, 133, 333.
