NB. I no longer work in Spain. My website is being updated.

I have extensive experience in mental health, forensic psychiatry, family work, couple counselling as well as the dedicated areas of experience mentioned on my web site.

My approach is holistic and respectful of the individual needs of each client. I believe that all life events offer the opportunity for personal development.
