Sometimes life presents challenges that look like mountains, hard to climb. However, I believe that with a positive state of mind and some support it might become less daunting.
My personal and professional interest for human behaviour and emotions originated in my early teens. Although I spent half of my life working in financial settings, I always felt drawn towards the humanistic and psychological aspects of life.
In 2006 I decided to divert my attention to the study, training and practice of counselling psychology, following a complete studying journey including, Bachelor in Psychology, Master’s in Health Psychology and Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
During these years I also trained and practiced in different settings from Charities to the NHS’s primary and secondary care in mental health services, using various theoretical frameworks and techniques including relational psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT.
Additionally I have an interest for multicultural aspects in therapeutic relationships and interactions, which I have explored in a qualitative research for my doctoral thesis.
