Hello, I'm Carmen
I am a licensed psychologist and certified Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner passionate about helping people take a powerful turn in their lives and become the best versions of themselves.
Having lived, studied and worked in the UK, Australia, Spain, France and the Netherlands, and thanks to my online therapy service, I have extensive experience in providing psychological counselling services, therapy, coaching, consulting and training for adults, teenagers and children around the world.
My experience and professional development has grown after more than a decade of work in medical centres, non-profit organizations, national associations, local councils, multinational companies and private practice.
My focus is to free my clients from emotional, psychological and physical pain, through a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rapid Transformation Therapy (RTT), Energetic Breathwork Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (TCAP), Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
My mission is to achieve deep, effective and permanent transformations. Above all, the style of my therapy and coaching is characterized by being simple, integrative, tailor-made and with a deep commitment to achieving the well-being of my clients based on the connection and attention to individual needs.
Throughout my career, I have had the honour of being trained by exceptional mentors and I am a personal and professional development enthusiast. I am in a constant process of growth and learning to stay up to date with the lasted developments in research. My children also teach me daily to improve myself and always connect with the best version of me.
This is my story
We have all been there. When we are children, our feelings and the way we see ourselves depend completely on the adults around us. And our experiences can change the concept we have of ourselves.
During our childhood limiting and harmful beliefs about ourselves and about the world were imposed on us. These beliefts influenced and conditioned us and to a lessor or greater extent harmed us. Sometimes in such a subtle way that we are not even aware of it until one day everything explodes...
In my case, one day, everything that had accumulated over many years in a completely unconscious way popped like a bottle of champagne.
Overnight, severe pain took over the right side of my body. I felt constant tension and pain in my jaw, neck, shoulder and back that radiated to my fingers, leaving them numb, a sensation that no health professional was able to explain or solve.
My heart was always racing, the cortisol and adrenaline levels in my body were through the roof, my natural state was hypervigilant, feeling relaxed was something I didn't even know how to do and I had a constant lump in my throat.
Then all the other physical symptoms kicked in and just kept increasing and getting worse over time, as if they were somehow screaming at me to finally give myself the attention I needed and deserved.
I was on autopilot, loaded with obligations and duties that I had imposed on myself. I had normalized the feeling of stress and anxiety in such a way that I was not even aware of it until that moment, when the levels were unbearable, causing seizures and burnout that left me exhausted.
After hitting rock bottom, I realized I felt responsible for the needs and expectations of others, even at the cost of my own needs and well-being, resulting in an enormous abandonment of myself and in the non-existent awareness of my own feelings, in my mind "I was always fine".
The large doses of guilt, my inability to say no and the need to prove my worth, together with the unconscious belief that I was not enough, led me to perfectionism and then to procrastination, which caused a greater disconnection and abandonment of myself. It was a complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
Fortunately, at that time I already had a lot of knowledge, experience, techniques and resources to help me heal, but I knew that I could go deeper. I could leverage lessons from my past to further enhance my health, personal and professional growth, and connection to myself. Despite my expertise and understanding, I knew there were additional layers to uncover for my true healing.
It wasn't until I came across Rapid Transformation Therapy and Energetic Breathwork Therapy that I achieved the deep and permanent liberation from physical, psychological and emotional pain.
The therapies relieved me from all the limiting beliefs that didn't let me be myself and enjoy life in perfect balance and with that feeling of peace, power, satisfaction, delight and happiness that I so longed for and wanted so much for my clients.
Today, I feel fortunate to have discovered a formula that allows me to feel and experience life in ways I never thought possible. It's enabled me to cultivate a life of quality, achieve my goals, and, through my profession, empower others to attain that same sense of fulfillment, freedom and purpose.
Together, we can start your journey of profound discovery.
