About Me

I’m Lara, a licensed online therapist, and I’m here to overcome unconscious blocks holding you back and give you the tools you need to stay afloat – whatever life throws at you.

My approach to online therapy

I treat the person, not the label. Whatever you are currently struggling with, my method of therapy creates a tailored plan which takes into account you and your personal experience. I’m not here to “fix” you because I don’t believe that you’re broken – instead, I’m here to help you understand the unconscious roots of your issue and reconnect you with your own inner resources and strengths to overcome it. Let’s make lasting change together.

Who am I?

Born and raised in London, I made Valencia, Spain my home nearly a decade ago. Here’s a few things you might want to know about me:

 

Expat

Moving abroad came with a lot of emotional baggage. When you leave your family and friends behind to start from scratch, it can bring up a lot of stuff. From finding the confidence to put yourself out there in new social circles, to feeling totally lost and alone like you’ll never find your people – trust me. I’ve been there!

 

Fellow struggler 

I know what it’s like to feel stuck – from moving abroad and leaving everything I know behind to coping with big life shifts, managing stress and anxiety, and building resilience in the face of setbacks and rejection. I’m still learning and growing, applying my knowledge to help myself and help others do the same.

 

A millennial

In a world of meaningless online dating and unrealistic body standards to constant struggles with career and finances, this generation has been handed a pretty crappy set of cards. Whether you’re feeling totally lost not knowing what sector you want to work in or are overwhelmed by the prospect of finding love in a sea of dating profiles, I totally get it. Let’s work through it together.

 

Passionate about therapy

I’m passionate about therapy and my goal to help people with their struggles led me to set up my own online therapy clinic. When I’m not working, you’ll find me trying new restaurants, writing, on the pilates reformer machine or exploring new places.

How online therapy works with me

1. Book a call

Book a free introductory call to see if I’m the right fit for you. These calls are around 20 minutes long so you can ask me any questions about me or my style of therapy and see if I’m what you’re looking for. Calls are always totally free and there is no obligation to work with me after the call. Simply it’s a way to see if we’d be a good match for what you want to work on.

 

2. History take

If you decide to go ahead, our first session will be a “history take”.  This session is up to 90 minutes (at no additional cost). It allows us to dig deep into the issue that brought you to me so that I can understand what’s been causing you trouble.

 

3. Personalised sessions

Online therapy sessions with me are always 100% personalised to suit you. Based on what you tell me in our introduction and history take, I will plan sessions to work on certain areas or teach you tools to help you. I draw on a range of different therapeutic disciplines and use multiple techniques and ideologies to help you in the best way.

 

4. Hypnosis recording

Outside of sessions, I will send you a personalised hypnosis recording. This is to prime your brain for positive change and rewire your brain for long-lasting change. 

 

5. Frequency of sessions

The frequency of sessions is totally up to you. We can have as few or as many sessions as you need and either meet regularly or do check-ins when you feel you need them.
