I moved to Seville seventeen years ago and, like many people who build a life abroad, found myself navigating both the richness and the emotional challenges of living in a culture that was not my own. Living outside the environment I had grown up in brought an unexpected awareness of how deeply culture, family, and early emotional conditions shape who we become. I began noticing how behaviours that once made sense in one context could feel limiting or dislocating in another — and how feeling “different” can quietly influence identity, confidence, and belonging.

This experience led me to reflect more deeply on how my own early environment had shaped not only how I related to others, but how I experienced myself and the world around me. That exploration gradually widened into a deeper interest in the emotional patterns we all carry, particularly those formed in childhood that continue to shape our adult lives, often outside of awareness.

This journey led me to train as a psychotherapist. I am now a BACP-registered practitioner, working with adults who feel caught in longstanding patterns that no longer serve them. These patterns are often rooted in early experiences of needing to be the strong one, the good one, or the easy one, long before there was language to recognise this as adaptation. My own process of growing beyond the limitations placed on me in childhood has been central in developing the capacity and sensitivity to support others in questioning long-held perceptions and opening up new ways of relating to themselves and their lives.

I work online with clients across the UK and EU, supporting those who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and move beyond ways of being that were once necessary, but are now constraining.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtfully challenging. I hold the view that difficult inner experiences, such as anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, or resentment, are not problems to be eliminated, but meaningful signals that something within us is asking for attention and understanding. Therapy offers a calm, non-judgemental space to explore these experiences with curiosity and care, allowing old patterns to soften over time.

Through my own personal work, I have learned that growth is not about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with parts of ourselves that were never fully met or supported. I bring this understanding into each session, supporting clients to slow down, recognise their patterns, recover their voice, and begin relating to themselves, and their lives, with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
