Bio
Claudia moved to Australia over 10 years ago and is a Registered Psychologist at Drop of Life. She originally graduated with a Bachelor's degree of Psychology in Spain and completed that with a Healthcare Master's Degree of Child and Youth Psychology in 2013. She has experience treating a wide range of presentations and working with people of all ages, from infants to adults. She also is a Infant Massage Therapist, and has been working with families and babies, supporting motherhood and fatherhood through the psychological processes involved during the perinatal period. She worked as a Perinatal Psychologist in Spain and has now completed her course in Perinatal Psychology and Infant Mental Health in Australia.
Claudia's experience and special interests are working holistically and therapeutically with the whole person, promoting their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. Claudia understands that all of these levels are interconnected, and that treating the mind requires treating the emotional body as well.
Claudia works with children, teenagers, and families, holding a family-orientated approach; and she also work with adults individually. In addition, Claudia loves working in a perinatal space, which includes supporting mothers, fathers, families, couples and baby, during planning (conception and preconception), pregnancy, birth, postpartum and early parenting.
She has experience working with mood disorders, anxiety, personal growth, PTSD, Adjustment Disorders, attachment disorders, stress, birth trauma, postpartum depressive symptoms, NDIS clients, among others. Claudia has a genuine interest in working with children (Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Learning/Education/Social/Developmental Difficulties, Behavioural Management – from ages 0 to 10), parenting and perinatal mental health (before and after birth).
In Claudia's opinion, illness and stress affects not only one’s physical, but also one’s mental, emotional, and general well-being. Through her own personal experience, she believes that psychotherapy encourages a person’s natural healing abilities to emerge and balance the entire body. With a genuine love for guiding and finding strategies and tools, Claudia utilises compassion, intuition and deep knowledge and experience to create the treatment that you deserve and desire.
Claudia is available for appointments on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Claudia is looking forward to meeting you at Drop of Life.
