About me and my therapy practice
I’m an accredited integrative therapist specialising in sex and relationship therapy, supporting individuals, couples and people in multi-partner relationships.
I offer an affirming, inclusive approach to gender diversity, diverse sexualities and relationship styles, and am kink-aware. With cultural humility, I recognise how identity, background and life experiences can shape our wellbeing, relationships and personal growth.
I’m currently training as a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology and undertaking a placement at 56 Dean Street.
I offer short- and longer-term therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan and French, with varying levels of proficiency across these languages.
Practice description
I take an integrative and pluralistic approach to individual therapy, psychosexual therapy, and relationship therapy, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioural (CBT), and psychodynamic therapies. I believe that every person is unique, and I tailor our work to your individual needs, experiences, and goals.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe that feeling comfortable, understood, and able to trust both your therapist and the therapeutic process is essential. My aim is to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can feel free to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and concerns openly, at your own pace.
My therapeutic style is warm, conversational, and direct. I aim to meet you with empathy, curiosity, and honesty, helping you make sense of your experiences, deepen your self-understanding, and explore new perspectives and possibilities for meaningful change.
Below are some of the areas I work with, but you are welcome to bring whatever feels important to you.
