Hi, my name is Esmeralda and I am a qualified integrative counsellor with experience in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addictions, loss and bereavement, abuse, trauma, low self-esteem and an understanding of autism and special needs.
I work with young people and adults, offering sessions in both English and Spanish and use a combined approach within counselling. This includes Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy (sometimes referred to as humanistic) and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Counselling is exploring thoughts and feelings about issues and concerns and having an opportunity to discover how to move forward in life. I can help you to explore your unconscious to discover how your past experience has informed your present and future. I want to help you to achieve your potential, which may require us to look to the past for patterns and also focus on helping you address present day behavioural patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy mostly focuses on changing your present day behaviour to improve your moods and ability to cope. It focuses on the connection between thought, emotions, actions but perhaps also your physical wellbeing, social skills, and your sense of spirituality. I can also combine free association and dream analysis into our sessions if needed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
