My Approach: what is
Brief Strategic Therapy?

When it comes to psychotherapy, there are various theoretical models that explain how individuals interact with themselves, others, and the world.

One widely recognized approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but there is another valuable approach called Brief Strategic Therapy (BST), developed by Giorgio Nardone and his collaborators at the Strategic Therapy Centre in Arezzo, Italy, founded by Nardone and Paul Watzlawick.

About me

Fixing things has always been my calling. There's an exhilaration in taking something broken, analysing its components, and skilfully putting it back together. This love for fixing extends beyond objects—it drives me to seek solutions for any problem that comes my way. Guided by this passion, I am committed to helping you find the answers you're searching for, no matter how complex or daunting they may seem.

With roots in vibrant Barcelona, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. In 2014, I embarked on a new chapter of my professional journey, moving to the bustling city of London. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of witnessing remarkable recoveries in individuals facing various challenges, from anxiety- in all its forms, and depression to eating disorders and psychosis.

Let's explore how my background and expertise can support you on your path to well-being.

"Although I wasn't sure what I wanted or how anyone could possibly help me out of my rut, I can now see that it was incredibly necessary.

Having someone straightforward, supportive and there to both hold you accountable and hold space for your emotions, was so helpful in all the unfurling and learning that took place in the six months I work with Susana.

I'm really grateful to her and to myself for making this a priority and I now have a lot of tools which I will use in the future to check in on myself and allow myself to feel all the things"
