I have a degree in Psychology and a postgraduate degree as a Counsellor in CCPE.
(Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling Education) in Little Venice, London. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and abide by their code of ethics.
I am also fully trained in EMDR ( eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) and a member of the U.K. and Ireland EMDR Association
I started life as a psychotherapist about 20 years ago , working both in a public hospital and in private practice. Certain events in my life took me away from psychotherapy and into the Human Resources field, where worked as an HR advisor in the corporate consultancy world. I worked both in London and Buenos Aires. However I always knew that HR was a temporary detour.
I continued my training as a Counsellor in London, where I have worked as a therapist for many years now.

My approach to therapy is integrative. People are diverse and ways of facing and resolving problems vary from individual to individual. I feel that sticking to just one approach would be simplistic and forced. I work with different theories- psychoanalysis, Humanistic, existential, transpersonal- drawing from each of them the elements that I believe will be of use to each particular patient.
I also work with EMDR, a powerful psychotherapy tool that helps access and work through traumatic memories or other negative experiences in life, helping to bring them to a good adaptive resolution, so they don't have that powerfully disruptive effect.

I work with individuals and with couples. I can offer either short term therapy - usually 14-20 sessions focused on a particular problem; as well as open ended psychotherapy where we can explore in depth the difficulties or patterns that are creating dissatisfaction in your life, or embark in a process of self knowledge that will allow you to manifest your potential in life.
