Dance Movement Psychotherapist, MSc, BSc (Hons), BA (Hons), Lecturer, AFHEA, Certificate of Modern Group Leadership

Embrace the change

After completing a BA in Labour Relations & Human Resources Management, I worked as an Implementation Project Manager for 10 years in international business. However, dance and music led me to change the course of my life, and I began my training for a second career. Biodanza took me to a MSc. in Dance Movement Therapy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Getting to know myself in movement was the beginning of a new transformative experience. My fascination for the body-mind connection encouraged me to complete a BSc. in Psychology with specialisation in Health Psychology. In my practice I saw an increasing demand for working with groups, something I have always enjoyed doing. So, I looked into how to improve my groupwork skills. After five years of training in psychodynamic group psychotherapy, I obtained a Professional Certificate in Modern Group Leadership at the Center for Group Studies, New York.

I currently work as a registered Psychotherapist in Private Practice in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My passion for teaching has led me to work in various roles with trainees in Counselling and Psychotherapy degrees, in both Spain and the UK. I have also facilitated professional training for mental health practitioners. 

I have worked as part of multidisciplinary teams in a variety of settings, from acute wards and primary care in national healthcare systems in Spain and Switzerland, to community projects and private practice in Spain and the UK. My clinical experience includes individual and groupwork in Child and Youth psychiatry as well as with older people (geriatric psychiatry). I have particular experience with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), eating disorders, dementia, depression, and the so-called central sensitization syndromes (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, etc.).  

I also have experience working with people without “a pathology”, who come to see me to improve their general well-being and interpersonal relationships.
