I am a psychologist and therapist with a humanistic and integrative approach, committed to providing a safe, respectful, and affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals. My work is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental attitude, supporting clients in exploring their identities and relationships. 

I aim to support people facing challenges related to sexual orientation, gender identity, self-acceptance, minority stress, and social or family dynamics. My approach focuses on empowering clients, strengthening emotional well-being, and helping them develop healthy coping strategies.

Through an affirming and inclusive therapeutic relationship, I strive to help clients feel seen, understood, and supported while working toward greater self-understanding.

Sonia Perez Martinez

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals. My practice is grounded in an affirmative, inclusive, and non-judgmental approach, where clients are supported to explore their identities, relationships, and lived experiences in a safe and validating space.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Affirmative Psychosocial Interventions for LGBTQIA+ Individuals, which informs my work with issues such as identity exploration, coming out, minority stress, internalized stigma, and relationship concerns. Alongside my clinical work, my volunteer experience with LGBT Ireland has further strengthened my understanding of the diverse challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ communities across different stages of life.

Filipe Afonso

LGBTQ+ clients deserve more than a therapist who is simply “affirming.” I offer psychotherapy that understands the complexity of identity, relationships, intimacy, shame, family dynamics, attachment, and the lasting impact of growing up in environments where parts of you may have felt unsafe, unseen, or unacceptable. My approach is psychodynamic, attachment-focused, trauma-informed, and grounded in ISTDP. Therapy with me is direct, thoughtful, and depth-oriented—focused not only on feeling better, but on understanding the patterns that keep repeating and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Benedict Etienne Gauthier

Formado en terapia cognitivo-conductual y terapias de tercera generación (DBT y ACT), cuento además con un posgrado en diversidad afectivo-sexual, de género y acompañamiento a personas LGBT+, que complementa mi enfoque terapéutico desde una perspectiva inclusiva y afirmativa. Asimismo, tengo experiencia en voluntariado con personas en situación de vulnerabilidad. Complemento mi perfil con experiencia en recursos humanos, aplicando conocimientos en evaluación conductual, gestión emocional y bienestar en entornos organizacionales.

Julián Otero

LGBTQ+ affirmative clinical psychologist with a multidisciplinary background in mental health, social justice, and international projects. Experienced in trauma, identity, migration, and gender-based violence, I provide inclusive, evidence-based therapy tailored to diverse identities. Committed to creating safe, empowering spaces that foster resilience, self-understanding, and authentic expression across all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Proven expertise in designing psychoeducational programs, social intervention programs, and intervention plans. My prefered approaches are Acceptance and Commitment, Cognitive-Behavioral / Dialectical-Behavioral,  Humanistic, and Mindfullness. I also employ behavioural programs.

, gender identities, and expressions. I specialize in providing a therapeutic space where you can bring your whole, authentic self without fear of judgment or the need to explain or justify your identity.

My work is centered on the unique challenges and strengths within our community. I have specific expertise in navigating gender identity, including social and medical transition support, processing the impact of minority stress and discrimination, and fostering healthy relationships within an LGBT+ context. I also frequently help clients address issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma through a lens that understands how these are often intertwined with societal pressures and internalized messages.

However, therapy is not solely about addressing pain; it's also about cultivating joy, resilience, and empowerment. I am passionate about helping you connect with your inner strengths, build robust coping skills, and thrive in a world that isn't always designed for us. Whether you are exploring your identity, struggling with interpersonal relationships, or simply seeking a therapist who "gets it," I am here to walk alongside you with compassion and expert support. Your journey is unique, and your therapy should be, too.

Hola!
Si has llegado hasta mi página web es porque estás buscando ayuda psicológica para ti o para alguien importante en tu vida.
A veces cuando buscamos ayuda psicólogica es el último de los pasos a dar porque creemos fervientemente que estamos fracasando, que sómos débiles o que no estamos afrontando como nos dice la sociedad que debemos afrontar la salud mental nuestra o de las personas que nos rodean...
Y muchas veces no tenemos ni idea de lo que nos pasa por la cabeza y esa incertidumbre nos asusta y nos paraliza, tanto que nos lleva al borde del abismo en nuestra vida, creyéndonos que sólo nos pasa a nosotros/as y que somos una especie rara en este mundo, muchas veces en distintas etapas de mi vida me he sentido así y créeme que sé de lo que hablo, por eso mismo me he metido a esta bonita profesión que es la psicología.
Me llamo Lesly Pérez Cruz , nací allá por 1989 en América del Sur ( Bolivia) y soy psicóloga.
Los rollos acerca de las formaciones y especializaciones los tienes más abajo, pero la mayoría de la gente no quiere saber qué has estudiado sino CÓMO puedes ayudarles. Y yo, no sé si puedo ayudarte o ayudar a esa persona a la que quieres, pero sí sé que puedo intentarlo y que pondré toda mi alma en aliviar el sufrimiento que te ha llevado a entrar en esta página.
Iba a escribir que ojalá nos conociéramos de otra manera que no fuera esta, pero no es del todo cierto, ya que creo que el vínculo que se genera en mi consulta es algo que nos hace crecer de una manera auténtica, y siempre, mutua fomentando un espacio SEGURO.
Así, que si al final vienes a verme, espero que seamos parte de un proceso que puede que sea duro, pero también bonito y necesario, y espero que al salir por la puerta por última vez, seas mucho más LIBRE que cuando entraste.
Y con ello, yo también lo estaré siendo.( A veces es difícil enfrentarnos a nuestros monstruos y poder salir de los diferentes infiernos en los que estamos, pero una vez que lo haces es tan liberador…)
Es muy valiente por tu parte empezar este proceso de terapia, aceptar nuestras vulnerabilidades es el primer paso para SANAR.
Gracias por confiar en mi.

Lesly Katherine Pérez Cruz

Whether it’s the start of school or the challenges of self-discovery, I’m here to provide guidance and support during these crucial times.

With a background in social pedagogy and hands-on experience in kindergartens, schools, and institutions for adolescents, I understand the unique struggles LGBTQ+ youth face.

It's hard when the environment you live in does not understand who you are. And it's harder when it does not allow you to be who you are.

Whether you need help with figuring out your identity, facing challenging situations or to live happily with your significant other, there is room for you in this consult.
