My journey in Psychology began in Spain, where I completed my Psychology degree at the University of Oviedo. I have always been passionate about travelling, discovering new cultures and learning languages, which led me to spend a year abroad through the Erasmus programme in Cagliari, Italy. After graduating, I was awarded an internship at the University of Cagliari, within the Faculty of Neurosciences.

​

In 2014, I moved to Scotland to pursue an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Psychological Practice at the University of Edinburgh. After completing my Master’s degree, I began working in the educational field as an early years educator, before moving into mental health and working as a psychologist within a non-profit organisation. In this role, I supported children, young people and their families with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, grief, autism, ADHD, low self-esteem, emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships.

 

In 2021, I started my own private practice, offering therapy to adults, couples and parents through online sessions and therapeutic walks. This allowed me to develop my work with adults and explore different ways of providing psychological support that can fit into people’s everyday lives.

 

In 2022, I obtained my certification as a Mindfulness Instructor and have since been leading mindfulness courses and meditation groups. I am currently continuing my professional development by undertaking further training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

How I can help

 

In my work with adults, I support people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, low self-confidence, body image concerns, eating difficulties, neurodivergence and challenges in interpersonal relationships. I also work with people who are navigating the experience of being an immigrant or living away from their home country. Having lived abroad myself for many years, I understand some of the emotional challenges that can come with adapting to a different culture, building a new life and finding a sense of belonging away from home.

 

I also work with couples who would like to improve their communication, understand each other better, establish healthy boundaries and find more constructive ways of managing and resolving conflict. My aim is to help couples develop a stronger understanding of each other and create healthier patterns within their relationship.

 

Alongside individual and couples therapy, I offer parenting support. Parenting can be rewarding but also challenging, and sometimes it can be difficult to know how best to respond to your child while also looking after yourself. I help parents better understand their children’s emotional needs, develop strategies to support them and find ways to manage their own emotions and wellbeing throughout the process.

 

My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, attachment-informed approaches and, increasingly, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe therapy should be tailored to each person, taking into account their individual experiences, relationships, circumstances and what matters most to them.
