My Approach

My approach integrates a large variety of models and schools of thought from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy and philosophy. My sessions are very interactive. I work flexibly with regards to frequency, times and days.

About Me

I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, accredited psychosexual and relationship therapist with the College Of Sexual and Relationship Therapists - COSRT (www.cosrt.org.uk) and a cognitive behavioural therapist with membership of the British Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy BABCP (www.BABCP.com) and the Association for Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-AREBT (www.REBT.net). I work closely with a consultant psychiatrist for any referral for psychiatric assessment and for prescription of psychiatric and sexual dysfunction medication, only if needed.
I have worked as a psychotherapist in NGOs, the NHS and in private practice for over 20 years. I also have over 10 years experience working in sexual health and HIV medicine for the NHS.

I was born in Venezuela from French parents and have been in the UK for more than 30 years. I can therefore offer therapy in English, French and Spanish.

I now only practice via videocalls and can offer day time and evening appointments Monday to Friday.
