About me

I’m a licensed General Health Psychologist and Work & Organisational Psychologist registered in Spain (COP Registration No. P-03377). I offer online psychotherapy in English and Spanish.

I grew up in the Canary Islands and have lived in several countries across Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Living between cultures has shaped how I understand identity, belonging, and adaptation to new environments.

I bring a dual background in clinical & health, and work & organisational psychology. Whether you're struggling with burnout, work-related stress, or broader mental health challenges, I understand both the personal and professional dimensions. I am qualified to carry out clinical assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based therapy within Spain's private healthcare system.

In my practice, I work with adults who want to reconnect with themselves and feel more grounded. My focus is on building self-awareness, strengthening inner resources, and developing practical tools tailored to you.

I commonly work with: • Anxiety and panic attacks • Depression and low mood • Burnout and chronic stress • Grief and loss • ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) • Relationship difficulties and couples therapy • Addiction and compulsive behaviors • Personal growth and self-development • Identity exploration, life transitions and direction

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.

If you're feeling like you're just getting through the day rather than actually living it, I'm here to help.

I am an integrative psychologist who combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness and coaching to support your growth and resilience. My approach is tailored to you, as I believe therapy should adapt to the person rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our sessions are a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours openly, but also an active one. We won't just talk about the past. We'll explore current challenges with curiosity and build practical, experiential tools for the present and future.

Together, we focus on understanding the patterns and experiences that keep you stuck, building insight, deepening self-awareness, and learning to regulate your nervous system, manage emotions, and change habits in real life.

My mission is to empower you to become your own therapist. You'll leave sessions with deeper insight and practical strategies you can use outside of therapy, so growth doesn't stop when the session ends.

If this resonates, reach out to schedule an initial session or ask any questions about how I work.
