About me

Originally from Spain, I have been living in Sussex, UK for the last twenty years. Before training as a therapist, I worked in corporate communications for different organisations across Europe where I learned a thing or two about stress and burnout. A former NHS counsellor, I am passionate about mental health and work with humans from all walks of life.

I speak:

EnglishSpanish

Location:

Carlton Hill 72, BN2 0GW Brighton, United Kingdom

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

My approach is tailored to your needs. We can work long term or short term. We can explore whatever troubles you at that moment or work on a specific issue that's been bugging you. I believe in therapy as a process (not a linear journey) with ups and downs like life itself.

As a Humanistic therapist, my role is not to analyse you, diagnose you or give you advice. But to provide you with a safe, confidential space where together, we can find ways to self-heal and feel better.
