Specialisations
I specialise in providing psychotherapy in English and Spanish for a range of mental health concerns, tailoring my approach to address the unique needs and challenges of each individual or couple. Some of the key areas I specialise in include:
Anxiety and Stress Management
I offer support and guidance for individuals struggling with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other stress-related issues. Through evidence-based techniques and compassionate understanding, I help clients develop coping strategies and regain a sense of control over their lives.
Depression and Mood Disorders
I work collaboratively with clients experiencing depression, mood swings, and other mood disorders to explore underlying causes, develop effective coping skills, and cultivate a greater sense of resilience and well-being. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions and find hope for the future.
Trauma and PTSD
Drawing on extensive experience in trauma therapy, I specialise in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma and PTSD symptoms. Through collaborative and evidence-based practices, I offer a safe space for clients to explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards healing and recovery.
Grief and Loss
Navigating the profound challenges of losing a loved one, whether through death, divorce, or separation, requires compassionate support. I offer a safe space for individuals to process their grief, find meaning in their loss, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. We explore emotions and honour memories while building your resilience skills.
Self-esteem and Personal Growth
I assist individuals in cultivating self-awareness, building self-esteem, and fostering personal growth. By exploring patterns of thinking and behavior, identifying strengths, and setting achievable goals, clients can develop greater confidence and a deeper understanding of themselves, leading to positive changes in their lives.
Workplace Stress and Burnout
Specialising in supporting individuals navigating workplace stress, burnout, and related challenges, I offer practical strategies tailored to manage workload, establish healthy boundaries, enhance work-life balance, and boost resilience in the face of professional pressures. We collaborate to alleviate stress, foster a healthier work environment, and promote well-being.
Relationships and Couples Therapy
I help couples build stronger relationships by improving communication and conflict resolution skills. In a safe, supportive environment, we address challenges, uncover underlying issues, and learn effective communication techniques. We cultivate mutual understanding, empathy, and intimacy to strengthen the foundation of your relationship.
Life Transitions and Adjustment
Supporting clients through significant life changes like career shifts, relocation, divorce, retirement, or parenthood. I offer personalised guidance and coping strategies, helping you navigate the challenges and uncertainties during these moments. Together, we identify strengths, explore opportunities, and adapt with resilience.
Violence Against Women
Providing compassionate support and empowerment for women who have experienced various forms of violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and gender-based violence. Offering a safe and non-judgmental space for survivors to process their experiences, explore coping strategies, and access resources for healing and recovery.
Identity Exploration and LGBTQ+ Issues
Specialising in affirming and inclusive therapy, I support individuals exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, and any other aspects of identity. With sensitivity and empathy, I provide a safe space to navigate LGBTQ+ challenges. My approach emphasizes validation, empowerment, and personalised support for each individual’s journey.
Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity
Specialising in culturally sensitive therapy, I respect diverse backgrounds and address topics like acculturation, identity exploration, discrimination, and intercultural communication. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where individuals feel valued, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences within the context of their cultural identity.
Body Image and Eating Disorders
Helping individuals cultivate a positive and healthy relationship with their bodies, addressing concerns related to body image and providing support for those grappling with eating disorders. I aim to empower clients to navigate their challenges, develop self-acceptance, and foster a balanced approach to food and body image.
