About me

Hello and welcome!

 

My name is Thea. I am a qualified integrative therapist and will be continuing my training as a couples & relationship psychotherapist. I currently live in London which has been home since 2020.

​​

I have been a foreigner most of my life having lived in multiple countries since childhood. I consider myself culturally ambiguous​ and embrace the different and oftentimes conflicting influences that have shaped who I am. My experiences have shown me that people, situations and events are wholly unique, full of nuances and never simplistic, and can be different things to different people, depending on the prism of their background and experiences. These experiences and my natural curiosity instinctively inform how I practice.

​

I offer short-term and open-ended sessions in person and online, in English or Spanish.

Treatment

Practice areas

I enjoy working with a diverse clientele and have supported clients within the private and charity sectors through areas such as anxiety and depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, disordered eating and body dysmorphia, shame, bullying, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual health, lack of self-esteem and relationship dynamics. These are some representative cases and clients are welcome to present altogether other issues.

Specialist areas

I specialise in working with those who are globally mobile and immigrants, including expats and adult third culture kids (TCKs), as well as those who have forged their own way of living, deviating from normative expectations.
