Online psychotherapy

“I am human, and I think nothing human is alien to me.”

This quote by the Roman playwright Terence has long resonated with me. It reflects how I approach therapy: with curiosity rather than judgement.

I'm Ernesto, a BACP accredited psychotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. I work online with adults in the UK and internationally, in English and Spanish, offering a confidential and unhurried space where you can speak openly and feel properly listened to.

About me

15+ years working with adults from all walks of life.

Behind every emotional struggle or relational pattern, there is usually an understandable attempt to adapt. From an attachment perspective, even behaviours that feel confusing or self-defeating can make sense as strategies that once helped us feel safe, protect ourselves, or preserve important relationships.

Together, we can explore how these patterns came to be, whether they still serve you, and how new ways of relating to yourself and others might emerge. My approach is humanistic, integrative and attachment-informed, shaped by curiosity rather than judgement and supported by postgraduate training in Attachment Studies in London.

I am a UK-qualified, BACP accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist, and I work fully online with adults in the UK and internationally. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and have more than 15 years of clinical experience, including work with LGBTQI+ clients and people from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds.

Therapy can offer a private, consistent space to make sense of what is happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you.

How I work

Humanistic, integrative — and grounded in attachment.

In the first few sessions I'd like to get to know you and understand what has become unmanageable. I'm interested in your current and past experiences, the people who matter to you, and the patterns you find yourself caught in. My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel properly met — and to help you make sense of how you relate to yourself and to others.

Although my approach is humanistic and integrative, I have a particular interest in attachment studies. Understanding your own attachment style is often a turning point in how you experience yourself and your relationships.

I often work with

  • Anxiety and over-preoccupation
  • Depression and low mood
  • Childhood trauma
  • Difficulties relating to sexuality
  • Shame, guilt and punitive self-talk
  • Low self-esteem and lack of confidence
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Feelings of underachievement
  • Managing emotions in a healthier way
  • Making significant life changes
  • Work-related challenges
  • Sense of being stuck or burnt out

Online therapy

Consistent therapy, wherever life takes you.

For many clients, online therapy is the difference between getting consistent support and not getting support at all. Sessions happen securely over Zoom or Doxy and feel surprisingly close to working in person.

  • Convenient when face-to-face is difficult or impossible
  • Connect from a location of your choice — no commute
  • Flexibility for busy schedules and frequent travel

What you'll need

  • A private space and an internet connection
  • A computer, tablet, or smartphone
  • A headset is recommended for added quality and privacy
  • Sessions are conducted securely over fully encrypted Zoom or Doxy

Fees

Simple, transparent pricing.

Ongoing sessions & insurance

  • BUPA International
  • WPA
  • Aviva

After the initial consultation, ongoing sessions are £75 per 60 minutes. If you'd like to use your policy, your insurer will issue an authorisation code before sessions begin. I can help you understand what to ask for.

Concessions

A small number of lower-fee spaces are reserved each year for clients facing financial hardship — please ask.

All sessions are paid through the booking page. 48-hour cancellation policy.

Client voices

What clients say.

  • I'm so happy to have your support, Ernesto. It has been the best decision I've made — every Wednesday I feel stronger and encouraged.

    — Client from London

  • Further to my previous therapy with you, I felt your expertise helped enormously one year ago. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and care when I felt most vulnerable.

    — Client from Manchester

  • I can't thank you enough, Ernesto, for your help and support in what has been, as you know, a momentous two years for me.
