Your Trusted Therapist in Cambridge
With over two decades of dedicated experience in mental health and education, I have cultivated a practice rooted in empathy, professional integrity, and therapeutic excellence. My journey began in Spain, where I co-founded a youth support centre and gained foundational expertise in special educational needs. After relocating to the UK, I expanded my qualifications with a Psychology degree and advanced therapeutic training, integrating psychodynamic, systemic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches. As a BACP-registered member and ICO-registered practitioner, I adhere to rigorous ethical standards while offering supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors.My work extends beyond individual therapy to include relationship therapy, online sessions, and teaching counselling courses, ensuring accessibility and professional development within the field. This extensive background enables me to tailor therapeutic strategies to each client's unique circumstances, fostering self-awareness and meaningful change.
