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.

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.
También ofrezco psicoterapia en linea por medio de Zoom o Skype.
