Welcome to Live Life Not Strife. My name is Adriana, I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and a EuroPysch Accredited Clinical and Health Psychologist, registered to provide clinical services with the UK Health Professions Council, with over thirty years of experience.
I started Live Life Not Strife in 1996, leaving the corporate world to build a more holistic practice that helps individuals, children (12 years and above), couples, families, and organisations.
I work with multiple health insurance companies, including AXA, BUPA and WPA. However, I also accept self-funding clients.
My goal is to assist those facing personal, relationship and work-related challenges.
I have a broad range of expertise gathered over my 30+years of practice. I work with those experiencing Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and trauma. As well as Eating Disorders, Chronic Health and Cancer. Marital Therapy and Divorce, Blended Family Issues. Work-related stresses. Bereavement. To name but a few...
I use evidence-based best practices to help my clients, using various techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but I recognise that one-size does NOT fit all; as such, any treatment is designed specifically around the client's individual needs.
Outside of work, my personal goal for this year is to walk the Santiago de Compostela route from the Pyrenees into Spain, approximately 700km! I also enjoy singing and have been a member of various singing groups. I enjoy travelling.
