Sex and Relationship Therapy with
About me!
I am Latin-America, living in the UK for over 25 years, I speak Spanish, some Italian and Portuguese which helped me to enhance my understanding of diversity, cultures, religion, languages, sexuality and relationships from different perspectives.
Being active is a core value of mine, thus, I enjoy exploring and curious about new territories, for that reason I'd chosen a career that's taken me to the most interesting places in human behaviour 'Sexology' and 'Intimate Relationship' Therapy'. I work close to my LGTBQ+ community and empathise with everyone that feels special - I've been there and I assure you that feels good to be special !
My work !
I built my career as Clinical Sexologist and Relationship Therapist in the UK, working for the NHS and Privately in London. I studied Positive Psychology, Emotional Regulation and Mindfulness which I applied along with Existentialist theories, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy , Attachment styles among others, this means that I work with an integrative approach using modalities that suits you 'the Client'
I attune immediately with clients from different backgrounds, cultures, nationalities, with one common problem SEX and RELATIONSHIP concerns.
Honesty, respect and commitment to improve lives, are the structure of my therapeutic work; therefore building a collaborative and trusting therapeutic alliance with clients is the goal (COSRT ethics of practice 2019).
Sexual behaviour is a consequence of a multiple different forces acting upon a person, some of those forces are internal and specific to the individual, whereas other are broad, external factors that affect everyone in a given culture and society – some factors are under our complete conscious control, while we are victims of circumstance to others (Lehmiller J).
I work with a pluralistic approach therefore integrating valuable and practical theories, techniques and interventions, to benefit clients therapeutic process.
Principles:
Session are held in Bloomsbury, Central London and run for 50 minutes. They are weekly at the same time and same day of the week (if possible). Flexibility is considered without compromising therapy sessions.
A notice of 48 hours for cancellation is required for the session not to be charged. However, excessive cancellations will required a further discussion on the commitment of therapy work.
I provide long-term (open ended) and short-term (12 – 15 sessions), however a review would be planned with the client at session 8.

This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you, and whether I am the right therapist to help.
