Embrace “emotional wellness” with Alma counselling

Hello, my name is Jimena and I was born in South America. I am a bilingual counsellor with Spanish as my native language.

With a masters degree in Counselling, I have accumulated extensive knowledge and practical skills to address a spectrum of mental health challenges.

I specialize in emotional intelligence, an area I believe is pivotal in navigating the complexities of stress, depression, anxiety, and isolation. I employ a holistic and culturally sensitive approach, incorporating evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the unique experiences of the Latin American population.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, I ensure effective communication and a safe space for clients to express themselves authentically. My expertise extends to fostering resilience, promoting self-compassion, and guiding individuals towards a path of emotional flourishing.

Commitment to Emotional Well-being

We are deeply committed to destigmatizing mental health within the Latin American community. Alma counselling believes in the power of open dialogue, education, and community engagement to break down barriers and create a supportive environment. Through workshops and community outreach programs, Alma counselling actively contributes to mental health awareness, empowering individuals to prioritize their emotional well-being.

In every counseling session, we strive to create a space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to embark on their journey towards emotional wellness.

Alma counselling is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and cultural pride while providing the tools necessary for clients to navigate the unique challenges they may face.

We envision a community where mental health is regarded with the same importance as physical health, and seeks to be a guiding light for those embarking on the transformative path of emotional healing within the Latin American

Our approach is to listen to you in a nonjudgemental and empathetic way, focusing and understanding the source of your triggers and the emotions that follow them. We will be with you to support you in accepting all your different parts as pieces of a puzzle that make you who you are. We use a holistic approach adapted to your unique needs and with the firm belief that your are capable of Self healing.

The more we embrace all of our parts, the more we will learn to accept ourselves as a whole. Embracing our parts connects us with our inner power, inner being or the Self.

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

~ Arnold Bennett

ALMA meaning ‘soul’ in Spanish, is our ‘essence’ where are ‘inner-wisdom’ stands and where Self healing can take place.

ALMA comes from the Latin word ‘almus’ which means ‘kind’, ‘fostering’ or ‘nourishing’. For this reason:

~ At ALMA , we provide a safe and warm space for you to reconnect with your true nature. An environment where we will listen to whatever difficulties or worries you share in a confidential and nonjudgemental environment.

~ At ALMA we believe all answers and solutions can be found inside yourself through reconnection with your essence.

The human ‘soul’ or ‘the Self ‘ has always drawn my attention and intrigued me. Recognizing something greater than myself, a greater whole of which we are part, a cosmic or divine nature which holds us through personal growth. As everyone else, I am still on a ‘quest’ to find my personal purpose through spirituality and facing the challenges that life brings us constantly.
