I am a fully accredited Body Psychotherapist and a Full Clinical Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), as well as a Full Member of the Association of Biodynamic Massage Therapists.
My training in psychotherapy began in 2006 with Instituto Expansion in Chile, where I obtained a Diploma as a Facilitator in Therapeutic Change. After relocating to the UK in 2011, I completed a six-year, Master’s-level qualification in Body Psychotherapy at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre (CBPC).
I adhere to a rigorous code of ethics in accordance with UKCP and CBPC standards, and I engage in regular professional supervision to support and maintain the quality of my practice.
My Approach
At the centre of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment, which helps improve a person’s life. I aim to be a mindful companion of each client’s self-discovery process, offering my psychotherapeutic skills to caringly develop an in-depth exploration of who they are and what they need to have a fuller enjoyment of life.
A therapeutic plan is tailored to your specific needs.
We will discuss the methods and agree the best way of working together.
My work is based on and informed by body psychotherapy, humanistics approach-es, attachment theory and neuroscience.
My psychotherapeutic practice is also enriched by drawing from my cultural heritage as a second generation mestizo descendant of the Nahua indigenous group of central Mexico. .
I welcome both spiritual and secular views in my practice, depending on the person’s beliefs and sense of self.
Background & Experience
I initially trained as a physical theatre actor in Mexico (1998-2003) and spent many years working on stage as a producer, director, actor and trainer in Latin America and Europe.
The Chilean government awarded me a grant to support both my artistic work and my social initiatives as an applied theatre practitioner. During this time, I worked in a men’s prison and with individuals at risk of social exclusion. In Mexico, I was recognised nationally with the Best Young Actress award. Today, I continue to collaborate with theatre companies and performing and conceptual artists, offering creative consultancy.
I have been working with the bodily expression of emotions for over 20 years, first as an art-form, and now as a way of supporting others to live a fuller life through psychotherapy. I am absolutely passionate about both.
