Life is full of challenges. Everything from work, partners, relationships with family and friends or the lack of these things can bring anxiety, confusion, conflict and trigger feelings of fear, anger, jealousy, or low self-esteem. The sorts of feelings and emotions we often try to hide away and that end up affecting us and our relationships in unhealthy ways. I work as an integrative counsellor, which allows me to tailor my approach to each client focusing on the problem at hand and working with you to create a clear path towards your desired outcomes from therapy.

I do therapy in English and Spanish and work with different types of issues: relationships, self esteem, anxiety management or career development.
A therapeutic space can give us the understanding and confidence we need to make positive changes in our life. Expressing unspoken thoughts and feelings is an opportunity to heal, walk light and recover a feeling of direction. It gives us perspective and open our minds to explore healthier ways of relating to ourselves. My name is Alvaro, I'm a trauma informed Psychologist with more than 10 years of experience. I practice in Thanet (Margate and Ramsgate) and London.

Are you struggling to make sense of life at the moment, and who you are? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, or stuck. Maybe you're dealing with depression or anxiety, have low self-esteem, or problems in your relationships. Do you want to feel differently, to feel better, but aren’t sure how; or if that's even possible? I will listen to you to learn your story, and together we will unpick the things that are causing you difficulties, challenge any outdated and unhelpful thinking, and find ways to strengthen your sense of self and help you achieve your goals. I will listen with empathy, curiosity, compassion - and without judgement.

Anxiety and worry take joy from life, leaving you demotivated and depressed. Low self-esteem and confidence make you seem inadequate and insecure, feeling like you don't belong. The demands of a health condition have made life seem worthless and the idea of change impossible. Have you found yourself caught in these cycles of negative thinking? Do you wish you could feel more confident? As an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I’ve helped many people suffering with low confidence, self-esteem, social anxiety and difficulties with health conditions understand and overcome their problems, build strength and get life back on track.

Maybe a particular event, crisis, or relationship has brought you here. Maybe you don't have a clear reason but feel frustrated or despondent or simply sense that something is 'off'. Whether you feel your difficulties are specific or vague, together we can look at what brings you to therapy and what needs to change so that life is more manageable and enjoyable. My style is warm, engaging, and I practise in a sensitive and thoughtful way. I have completed a rigorous training and I am a fully qualified integrative therapist. Alongside general practice, I specialise in supporting clients who work in the creative industries.

Sometimes our coping strategies and the way we relate to others may become problematic. Relationships may have broken down, you may be suffering from anxiety, depression or low self esteem. You may feel stuck and can't find a way forward. You may have lost someone close to you or something that was really important to you. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can offer the opportunity to begin to make sense of what underlies your difficulties, come to terms with your losses and discover new perspectives. I help you make links between what you are doing in the here and now and the way you experience your life and the people within it.

Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly. You may find yourself stuck, or returning to lacklustre, even toxic relationships. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social.

I often work with low self esteem, people pleasing, attachment, parenting, anger, repressed emotions, depression, anxiety, shame, ADHD and more.
Do you struggle with the voice inside your head that tells you you're stupid, ugly, pretending to be someone you're not? Do you want to change this voice?. Through person-centred therapy, working with the issues my children were mirroring for me and offering myself compassion, working with my neurodivergence instead of rejecting it and shaming myself I managed to heal this and recover from narcissistic relationships. This is your time, I truly believe you can reach your full potential like I did with the conditions my own therapist provided, just like a flower I bloomed, you can too!

Therapy can be a daunting process, not knowing where to start, not knowing what therapist is right for you, and not knowing exactly what you need. A non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic space, to talk about the things that are currently challenging you at present, might be a good place to start. Therapy is about guiding you through life's most difficult moments, past and present in a safe and conducive space. If you are struggling as an individual or as a couple, I can provide appropriate support. You're not alone and well done for taking such a courageous step.
