Olga Martin Rodriguez

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist (MSc), registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotheray (MBACP), with a First-Class Honours degree in Psychological Counselling.Therapy available in English or Spanish. My clinical experience includes: Providing psychodynamic therapy to clients from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, many of whom have experienced racism, cultural stigma, or marginalisation. Sessions are occasionally in Spanish to accommodate clients who speak English as a second language. Supporting clients facing a wide range of psychological and emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, suicidal ideation, borderline personality disorders, or the emotional effects of domestic and sexual abuse. I have significant experience in delivering therapeutic support to adolescents and young adults, with particular attention to identity development, family systems, academic stress, and the impact of social media and peer pressure. This work has fostered a deeper understanding of the unique pressures young people face and the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their experiences and build resilience. I am committed to providing inclusive, affirming support for LGBT+ clients, with sensitivity to the specific challenges they may face. I have experience in conducting initial assessments and developing psychodynamic formulations to inform therapeutic focus and support clinical decision-making. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a reflective and in-depth approach to help you explore the unconscious patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This form of therapy can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, personality difficulties, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, or phobias. Together, we work to understand the emotional roots of your distress, including past experiences that may still be shaping your present. Psychodynamic therapy encourages self-awareness and insight, helping you uncover desires, fears and internal conflicts, even when they are not fully conscious. Through this process, you will find yourself better able to make empowered decisions, reduce self-sabotaging patterns, and manage both positive and painful emotions in a more balanced way. The goal is not just symptom relief but lasting emotional growth and improved well-being. Therapy is available in English or Spanish, and sessions can be offered in person, online, or by phone, depending on what feels most accessible and comfortable for you.
