About

A practice built on listening

I'm Ana. MSc in Health Psychology and Jungian psychotherapist, with an undergraduate degree in psychology from the United States and a certification in mindfulness. I work with adults moving through change, difficulty, or a search for meaning.

I accompany individuals in psychotherapy and organisations in the wellbeing of their teams.

My way of working brings these lenses together without forcing them: it starts by listening to where each person is and what they need, and from there we find the way forward. We are so alike and so different at the same time; that is why listening is the most valuable work. I believe in processes that respect each person's own timing.

I spent more than ten years in behavioural research in England, and have since worked in mental health and wellbeing at workplace wellbeing companies in the United States and Ireland, in schools, and in independent practice in Uruguay. I lived in the United States, England, and Portugal before returning to Montevideo. I work in person and online, in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

What a session is like

A session is a calm, confidential space. There's nothing to prepare and no need to arrive with things in order: we begin wherever each person is. The first conversation is mostly about getting to know each other and seeing whether it's a good fit.
