Hi, I am Valentina :) my therapeutic style is creative, evolving from my psychoanalytic, training while also considering the importance of finding balance in the emotional, spiritual, and physical realms. I focus on your uniqueness, promoting a sense of safety, connection, hope, and a gentle reminder of your intrinsic power to heal. Freud said that 'psychoanalysis is a cure by love'. I believe that humans can be helped by fostering heart-to-heart connections by tuning into one's emotional needs. Your psychological state holds the key to what is preventing you from being free and connected, and how to get it.

I am an experienced relationship/ life coach, and counsellor (4th yr trainee DCPsych) A combination of therapy and coaching complement each other in psychological intervention. Psychological freeze can stagnate life and progress but with therapy and coaching, one is able to transcend and find meaning for a purposeful life. I will support and challenge you through your journey in a non-judgemental, open, and confidential alliance. I will provide a safe space where you can externalize your internal dialogues and struggles to make sense of your past, relate with your present, and plan for your future. The first call is very crucial.

Psychotherapy can help you to gently gain a new perspective on your relationships, without judgement, in a confidential space. Although relational patterns may have served you well in the past, perhaps you feel they are not helpful to you any longer. You may feel that things are just not working out, without ever really understanding why. Perhaps you keep choosing particular people as friends or partners that you know are not healthy but can't resist anyway. Perhaps this makes you feel anxious, depressed or you can't sleep at night and well meaning advice from friends of family doesn't seem to help.

The bulk of my approach focuses on the here and now. Also recognising the impact of our lived experience. As a result, I tailor my approach to fit your specific needs and goals. In doing so I draw upon mindfulness-based approaches as well as providing means of exploring past experiences. This is done within a safe and person-centred environment.

You might be struggling with difficult feelings like anxiety or depression, a painful loss, relationship issues or unhelpful behaviour patterns and need some support understanding what is going on for you. Clients who have difficulty navigating the world typically have not had sufficient recognition from important relationships which is the first step towards experiencing change & feeling better. Underlying my training and work is a commitment to diversity and inclusion and I encourage an environment where my clients can be themselves without feeling shame or embarrassment.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

Exploring your thoughts and feelings with a counsellor can help you to live a freer, happier life. It can open up new ways of looking at and dealing with crises, challenges or problems you may be facing. I have experience of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and I believe identity is fundamental to how we see – and are seen by – the world. I am queer-positive, and affirming of all gender identities and sexual preferences. I am a bilingual English/French speaker and also offer sessions in Portuguese.

I know from personal experience that life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes the downs can feel permanent and inescapable. If you are feeling this way, talking therapy can help to give some perspective. I see my role as being a facilitator of change in your life, guiding you towards insights and changes in your life which ultimately come from you. This may involve looking to the past to understand the present, but will also include more present consdertations about day to day life.

Whatever is worrying you, therapy can be a space like no other, where you will be genuinely listened to without judgement. It can lead to a lighter feeling, as that heaviness and tension on your shoulders recede. I will work with you at a comfortable pace, in a way that honours your uniqueness and worth. Together we can find the answers that are meaningful to you. I have found that these answers are often right in front of us, in the present moment. I can help you see yourself more clearly and value yourself more fully.
