I am an accredited counsellor of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and an accredited graduate psychologist of the BPS (British Psychological Society) and COP (Colegio Oficial de Psicologia) with over 8 years of qualification (BSc and 3 MSc) and over 4 years of experience working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I provide therapy in English and Spanish.
Due to my background, I can help people by providing Counselling, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, Emotion Management and Positive Psychology. Most of my experience is working with people with relationship problems, addiction problems, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, cancer, emotional dependence, communications problems, phobias and self-esteem problems.
I have studied a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Almeria and 3 Master's degrees (Clinical Psychology, Third Wave Psychological Therapies and Prevention of Addictions) at the International University of Valencia and at the International University of La Rioja. I am currently waiting to complete my master's dissertations for my fourth Master's degree (Bioethics).
I have more than 4 years of experience working as a psychologist/counsellor, beginning in early 2019. Since that moment I have been working in several different places as a psychotherapist with people with addiction problems, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, cancer, emotional dependence, communications problems, phobias and self-esteem problems.
Now I am working with BetterHelp and I am really looking forward to working with you. I generally check messages here a few times per day every day, including weekends, and I can open slots for live sessions in weekend if you need it too.
