About me

Fixing things has always been my calling. There's an exhilaration in taking something broken, analysing its components, and skilfully putting it back together. This love for fixing extends beyond objects—it drives me to seek solutions for any problem that comes my way. Guided by this passion, I am committed to helping you find the answers you're searching for, no matter how complex or daunting they may seem. With roots in vibrant Barcelona, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. In 2014, I embarked on a new chapter of my professional journey, moving to the bustling city of London. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of witnessing remarkable recoveries in individuals facing various challenges, from anxiety- in all its forms, and depression to eating disorders and psychosis. Strategic Brief Therapy is my primary approach, encompassing a solution-focused and goal-oriented mindset. Together, we'll identify the underlying factors contributing to your challenges and develop practical strategies for change. This approach is designed to create swift and lasting improvements, empowering you to overcome obstacles and achieve your desired outcomes. As a highly qualified Clinical Psychologist and Strategic Brief Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I offer online therapy in English, Spanish, and Catalan. My areas of specialization encompass anxiety disorders (including panic attacks, OCD, health anxiety, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and social anxiety), depression, PTSD, complex trauma, and grief. I also have expertise in addressing binge-eating, emotional dysregulation, and various other conditions. Additionally, I bring valuable experience in working with complex mental health issues, such as psychosis, and have extensive knowledge in neuropsychology and dementia care.
