About Me

Originally from South America, I come from a Sociology and Political Science background.

After my own journey in therapy where I experienced healing through the therapeutic relationship, I decided to train as a therapist myself. I now have the skills to accompany others in this process.

I am committed to learning and developing an anti-oppressive approach in my practice.

Work and Experience

I hold an MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute in London.

In addition, I have trained as a Sophrology and Relaxation Practitioner which gives me the knowledge and experience to work with the embodied experience to help regulate ourselves. Integrating thoughts, emotions and the body can facilitate well-being and healing.

I am a practitioner with lived experience of mental health issues and distress. I am happy to now offer a space like the one that helped me heal in the past. I remain committed to working collaboratively with my clients and to accompanying them, offering my knowledge, skills and experience appropriately to support them.

I am a member of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and I am bound by its Ethical Framework for good practice. You can read more about the UKCP Code of Ethics here.

I have experience working as a therapist in different agencies, in the third sector and the NHS, with a diverse client population. I have worked with a range of issues such as:

  • Relationship issues
  • Low self-esteem
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Abuse
  • Trauma
  • Anger issues
  • Cultural issues
  • Loss
  • Discrimination
  • Identity issues
  • Migration
  • Mixed heritage
  • High Sensitivity
  • Exploration of non-normative lifestyles (polyamory & ENM)
