Somatic Therapist · Trauma Counsellor · Nervous System Educator

She will not hold back the truth to keep you comfortable.

Somatic therapy, nervous system repair, and couples support — in Marbella and online. Real work, for what's actually there.

Approach

I work with the body because the body doesn’t lie. Trauma, panic, the couple that’s stopped talking, the teenager who’s stopped sleeping — none of it gets solved from the neck up. We start where it actually lives.

Ground first. Everything else follows.

Somatic & Nervous System Regulation

Getting the body out of fight, flight, or freeze — not just talking about it.

Therapist seated, present and attentive

EMDR (Somatically Focused)

Processing what’s stored in the nervous system, not just the memory.

Brainspotting

Finding exactly where it lives in the body, and releasing it there.

IFS — Inner Parts Work

Meeting the part of you still carrying it, instead of fighting it.

Hand resting on the chest, self-connection

MBCT — Mindfulness-Based

Training attention itself, so the pattern actually changes.

Couples & Relational Work

The five dimensions I work across.

The modalities are the tools. These are the areas where they’re applied — because what shows up in the body rarely stays in just one lane.

I decided to finally seek support from Lydia when I had a psychotic breakdown and knew I needed serious help. Making the choice to work with Lydia was definitely a life changing decision and I feel truly lucky to have found her support in time. Lydia’s ability to hold a space with totally no judgement was the most healing thing for me and the first time I had ever felt that from someone, and at the same time she will not hold back the truth to keep you comfortable! It was also my first introduction to EMDR, which I highly recommend doing in the safe company and aftercare of Lydia. Not only was she fully present in my sessions, she never failed to respond in her own time if I needed her. A human who truly cares. I turned up to my first session a very broken person about to give up and after nearly a year of working together I can say my life is how I always dreamed for it to be. I finally found my peace and addiction free! Winning! If you’re really ready to change your life, Lydia is the most incredible person full of lived knowledge and a true inspiration.

I would recommend Lydia to everyone, and in fact have done. I went to her with suicidal thoughts when the fluctuations of depression had become too intense. Whilst I wanted to get better I also did not want to communicate initially and I recall her being so patient with me, she truly has a very comforting energy. Lydia doesn’t attempt to ‘fix’ you but rather provides you with the tools to heal yourself, knowledge that I can now carry with me for the rest of my life. I am eternally grateful for Lydia’s work because she helped me master my own emotions; providing me with a gateway, and the inspiration for even deeper healing and appreciation for life. Our sessions motivated me to forever continue growing and expanding.

Hello I’m Jose, I decided to seek help because I had a lot of behaviours that I didn’t like and couldn’t really control, I also have a brain that just likes to go everywhere so it was nice to have someone to bounce ideas off and help me guide my focus. On top of this I had a pretty bad sweating problem that couldn’t be explained medically or resolved without having to use a pill everyday which I’m not really in favor of. However, with Lydia I’ve found the root cause of this sweating, solved it and I’m living much more relaxed life, not having to worry every time I go to shake a hand or checking my sweat stains every 20 min. I’ve gone through a lot of psicologist, coaches, psychiatrist you name it. They tried to teach me methods that didn’t really help, but I find Lydia used the perfect tools with me and I can now use them whenever I need, it’s very liberating.

Some of you need the weekly work. Some of you just need a place to start. Either way, there’s a door here for you.

About Me

I was born into a doomsday cult — not a phase I chose, a belief system I was handed before I could question it. I know what it costs to be told what’s true and not allowed to ask. When I turned 17 I chose my own path. Tax law came next, then years in trading, reading people and risk for a living, long before I ever read a nervous system. Somewhere in there, the work found me instead. Everything I do now still carries that same instinct: look at what’s actually there, not what you’re told to believe.
