About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for looking at my profile.
Sessions are available face to face and online.
I work with adults, from 18 to senior from all walks of life, embracing diversity, relationship issues, past trauma, social anxiety as well as anxiety, depression, career changes, work issues, loss and bereavement, neurodivergence and any concern or problem you may need to talk about.
Please, contact me by email to arrange a phone call to discuss your needs.
Practice description
I work from an Integrative approach, taking elements from Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Existential modalities, which give us a wide view from which to understand your issues and needs in the present, as well as what happened to you in the past. I am also interested in how neuroscience helps us understand how your brain has adapted throughout your life, from your unique experiences, environment and inheritance to determine your choices, emotions and behaviour, and how to modify them to achieve a positive outcome.
In this light, we will talk about the ups and downs of your life; I provide a calm, confidential, safe, respectful environment, in which you bring your areas of concern, problems, needs, conflicts. Together, we will unravel at your own pace, any confusion, find understanding and unlock your wisdom to find the answers to improve your mental health, wellbeing and quality of life.
My first session
Congratulations on reaching out!
In our first session you will tell me what brings you to counselling, what your needs and issues are, what conflicts you may be facing, or you may be confused about; what you want to explore and work on.
I will try to find out what you understand about the counselling process, your expectations of it, and whether we would be a good fit to work together.
A day or two after the first meeting, we decide if we want to work with each other, set the parameters for our work and sign a mutual agreement .
