About Ricardo

​

With over 20 years of experience as a Gestalt Psychotherapist and BACP-accredited Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I am dedicated to helping you explore and embrace the full spectrum of your human experience. My journey into psychotherapy began after a career shift from law to a deep and passionate exploration of what it means to be truly human. This journey took me to work with indigenous communities whose wisdom and perspectives profoundly shaped my approach to therapy and life.

 

My unique therapeutic style is enriched by specializations in Humanistic Music Therapy and Bioenergetic Therapy, approaches that emphasize the powerful connection between emotions and the body. By integrating these modalities, I guide my clients toward a deeper understanding of their emotional and physical selves, helping them to heal, grow, and thrive.

 

As a Mexican living in the UK, I have personally navigated the challenges of cultural adaptation and understand the complexities of feeling like an outsider. This experience fuels my commitment to providing a safe and welcoming space for individuals from diverse cultural, sexual, and neurodivergent backgrounds—those who may feel different from the mainstream but are seeking a place where they can be seen, heard, and valued.

 

I am proud to be a professional member of respected organizations such as the Mexican Association of Gestalt Psychotherapy, the International Association for Counselling, and the UK Association for Gestalt Practitioners. These affiliations reflect my dedication to maintaining the highest standards of practice and my ongoing commitment to professional growth.

 

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the unique challenges you face and who will walk with you on your journey toward self-discovery and healing, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we can explore the richness of your inner world and help you create the fulfilling life you deserve.

This is what my clients are saying about our sessions

I find myself quoting you a lot! and that means I am finding value and connecting with the sentiments. I feel that we have delved into anything I have wanted to explore and I always gain insights from the sessions. So overall the feedback is great :)    Q.A.

Ricardo has allowed me to explore a number of issues - some of which I wasn’t even aware of coming into therapy - in a very safe, compassionate and personable manner. I have got a lot out of our sessions and can definitely notice improvements in my life as a result. Whilst it has also thrown up a lot of other emotions which I’m trying to build awareness of and methods of dealing with, with Ricardo’s guidance I feel I am in the right track
