We explore what has been difficult, how it affects your day-to-day life and what you hope to change. We discuss relevant history, your support needs and how we might work together.
You can ask questions and take your time. An initial appointment also helps us assess whether this service is appropriate for you.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Explore the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions, and practise changes that fit your everyday life.
A session may include looking at a recent situation, noticing patterns in your thoughts and behaviour, and planning a manageable exercise to try between sessions. CBT may be relevant to difficulties such as anxiety, low mood and avoidance.
There is no fixed duration for everyone. We agree on goals and review the process together.
Book your first sessionDBT-informed individual therapy
Build skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and navigating relationships. This is individual DBT-informed care, rather than a comprehensive DBT programme.
We may explore what happens before, during and after an intense emotional response, then practise a skill for distress tolerance, emotion regulation or communication. The focus is selected according to your needs.
There is no fixed duration for everyone. We agree on goals and review the process together.
Book your first sessionSchema Therapy
Understand persistent patterns and emotional needs that shape how you see yourself and connect with others.
We may examine a recurring relationship pattern, its emotional meaning and the needs underneath it, then work on responding differently. Schema Therapy may be useful when longstanding patterns continue despite efforts to change them.
There is no fixed duration for everyone. We agree on goals and review the process together.

Ask a booking question on WhatsAppQuestions before you begin?
Is online therapy right for me?
It depends on your circumstances, privacy and support needs. In our initial assessment, we consider whether online work is suitable for you and whether a different level of care would be more appropriate.
What happens in the first session?
We talk about what brings you to therapy, how it affects your life and what you would like to change. We also discuss relevant background and how we will work together. You do not need a perfect explanation or to share everything at once.
How long does therapy take?
There is no fixed number of sessions that suits everyone. We agree on priorities and review progress together. The length of therapy depends on your goals and circumstances.
Can I have my sessions in English?
Yes. Sessions are available in English or Spanish. Let me know your preference when booking or contacting me.

What should I do in an emergency?
This practice and WhatsApp do not provide emergency care. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. In Mexico, the emergency number is 911.
