Purposeful, goal-oriented psychological support rooted in rigorous scientific practice. Together, we work within a validating environment to build effective strategies for long-term emotional regulation and personal growth.
I am a highly specialist Consultant Counselling Psychologist with a track record delivering psychological therapies in private healthcare as well as inpatient NHS settings supporting with therapy provision development, ensuring Evidence-based practice, Staff training and Consultancy.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology (University of the Balearic Islands - UIB) in 2005 and later on in 2015, after years of working with the Women’s Institute in Spain (Institut Balear de la Dona), I published my PhD dissertation at the same University researching on common clinical psychopathology among women victims of abuse and gender based violence. I then moved to the UK (London), where I continued developing my career specialising in Personality Disorders, Complex Trauma and Suicidality.
I worked for the Priory Hospital North London as a CBT Therapist in inpatient and outpatient care. Then I moved to the Priory in Roehampton where I worked as Therapy and Clinical Lead for the Adult Private Inpatient provision. In 2022, I accepted the role of Consultant Counselling Psychologist supporting NHS and Private Adult and CAMHS wards in the hospital. My work consisted in supporting therapy provision development, ensuring evidence based practice and staff training. Through my specialised training I developed my role as a DBT Lead, Supervisor and RO DBT Practitioner.

Working with Marta has been life changing in regards to how I can manage and articulate my emotions and experiences. Our work together really changed the way I view and react to things including myself. I feel like I’m now really living my life!"

I met Marta when I found myself at rock bottom. After years of darkness and despair. Marta became my 1-to-1 Dialectic Behavioural Therapist. We worked together for a year and, during that time, I regained my will to live - something I didn’t think would be possible. She taught me many skills that are now in my toolbox. Most importantly, she made me feel seen and valued. She validated my emotions in a way that I’d never experienced before, slowly teaching me how to do it for myself too. Her approach is warm, kind, and insightful. I cannot thank her enough for everything!"

Individual sessions last 50 minutes. Therapy is highly individual. Some people find relief in 8–12 sessions, while others prefer long-term support. We will check in on your progress regularly.
Get in touch and I'll explain what the therapy plan could look like based on your needs.
