About me

I am a psychotherapist based in Getxo, Spain offering sessions in person and online in both English and Spanish. My approach brings together several complementary perspectives. My original training is in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which provides a way of understanding the deeper patterns that can develop through our early relationships and continue to influence how we experience ourselves and others. I also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), which offers an accessible way of working with the different parts or aspects of ourselves that can become activated in different situations. My work is further informed by mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches. For couples, I incorporate Relational Life Therapy (RLT), with its emphasis on the patterns that develop between partners and on developing greater awareness and responsibility within relationships. I am particularly interested in the impact of relational trauma and shame on emotional wellbeing, including the ways these experiences can influence our relationships, our emotional lives and our relationship with ourselves.
