About Me
I’m Eliana, a UKCP-registered Existential Psychotherapist based in London, offering therapy in English and Spanish. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, divorce, infidelity and life transitions, as well as the emotional impact of serious or long-term illness, including cancer. My approach draws on existential and psychodynamic perspectives, exploring how past experiences and relationships shape the present. Together, we explore questions of identity, meaning and direction, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and find a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful.
My Approach
Therapy with me is a space to slow down and make sense of what you are experiencing, particularly when life feels uncertain, overwhelming or no longer quite fits. You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or what you want to change. We can begin wherever you are, taking time to understand what has brought you to therapy and what feels most important to you now.
We work together with curiosity and without judgement. I listen carefully to what you say, while also paying attention to the feelings, relationships and patterns that may be shaping your experience. Sometimes we may explore how earlier experiences and relationships have influenced the way you see yourself, relate to others or respond to difficulties today. At other times, we may focus on what is happening in your life now. We may also notice patterns emerging within our work together, using them gently to deepen our understanding rather than making assumptions about you.
For me, therapy is also about creating a sense of choice. Difficult experiences can sometimes leave us feeling that our options are limited or that we are simply reacting to what life brings. Together, we can explore where you may have more choice, agency or possibility than it currently feels like you have. This does not mean pretending that difficult circumstances can always be changed, but finding ways of relating to them that feel more conscious and more your own.
