I am Teodoro, a London-trained Integrative Counsellor with extensive experience in the NHS, the charity sector, and private practice.<\/p>

While I have a special interest in working with Expats and LGBTQ+ individuals, my practice is inclusive and open to anyone seeking support. Whether you are navigating major life transitions, coping with emotional challenges, or striving for personal growth, I am here to help. My integrative approach combines techniques such as talk therapy and mindfulness, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.<\/p>

In our sessions, I offer a secure and nurturing environment where you can delve into your challenges, gain deeper insight, and cultivate resilience. Together, we will examine how past experiences inform your present, enabling you to achieve greater balance, a sense of purpose, and lasting fulfilment. My approach is grounded in empathy, adaptability, and a steadfast commitment to empowering you throughout your journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In our sessions, I often use metaphors and analogies to make complex concepts feel relatable, and one that deeply resonates with me is Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold. Just as Kintsugi transforms each crack into a beautiful part of the whole, I believe healing is about embracing every part of your journey rather than erasing the past. Together, we\u2019ll work to bring each part of your story into focus, creating a renewed, resilient sense of self that honors where you\u2019ve been and where you\u2019re headed.<\/p>

I am committed to helping you find value in every part of your journey, guiding you to a place of growth, strength, and clarity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

My understanding about how therapy works focuses on three stages -Understand, Accept, and Change- standing you at the centre of the counselling process, turning challenges into strengths. It is all about supporting you to honour who you are.<\/p>

I am here to guide you through each of them, helping you find healing, resilience, and purpose on your path forward.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Stage 1: Understand \u2013 Identifying Patterns <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur work starts with understanding. We\u2019ll examine your experiences, behaviours, and emotions to uncover the roots of your challenges. Together, we\u2019ll pinpoint patterns and highlight areas in your life shaped by past experiences. This step provides clarity, allowing you to better understand yourself and build self-awareness.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Stage 2: Accept \u2013 Embracing Yourself Fully <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAcceptance is about acknowledging and respecting all parts of who you are, including past experiences and vulnerabilities. Rather than viewing these as flaws, you\u2019ll begin to see them as essential to your identity and resilience. This step creates a foundation for moving forward with self-compassion and strength.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the final stage, you\u2019ll focus on making lasting changes. We\u2019ll work together to establish practical coping skills, set boundaries, and build a renewed sense of purpose. This step empowers you to approach future challenges with confidence, integrating your experiences into a stronger, more resilient self.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
