A central driver in my life is a desire to help people live in more harmony with ourselves, others, and the world. I believe we can create a more just and caring society where people feel more unconditionally taken care of. I am passionate about supporting people in their journeys towards greater awareness, vitality, and alignment with their values.

In my work as a therapist and coach, I integrate a range of therapeutic models I have studied, primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
My practice is also informed by my experience in:
I believe the power of talking therapies is supported by more embodied experiences — for example, meditation and dance — which can also be important tools in my work.
I have benefited, and continue to benefit, from working with some wonderful therapists myself—both individually and as part of a couple.
I believe it is important for therapists to work actively on ourselves, and to keep a close connection with what it is like to be a client in therapy.
I enjoy the challenge of working compassionately with every part of every person I work with. This includes maintaining boundaries and an awareness of privileges and oppressions, so that therapy can remain a safe and respectful space for everyone.
Fight against the strong when we are weak and against ourselves when we are strong.Lluís Maria Xirinacs
