Professional Profile

Diego Raya – MSc CBT, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Interpersonal (IPT) Psychotherapist

I am a Cognitive-behavioral and Interpersonal Psychotherapist (accredited by BABCP and IPTUK). I have further training as an IPT Supervisor at the Anna Freud Center and additional specialist qualifications in Mindfulness and Compassion-focussed Therapy. I have more than twelve years of experience in the field of mental health.

I am committed to working collaboratively in a safe space. My stance is supportive, empathic and non-judgmental. I feel comfortable discussing topics around racism, LGTBTQ+ phobia and any form of oppression/stigma towards minorities and people that do not conform with gender and sex norms.

I treat problems including depression, anxiety / stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma / post-traumatic stress, social phobia, generalised anxiety, phobias, grief and interpersonal difficulties (conflict with other person, difficulties in starting or keeping relationships going, lack of assertiveness.)

I have extensive experience working as a Psychotherapist in different hospitals and mental health institutions in London, such as the Homerton University NHS Trust and the North East London NHS Foundation Trust. Currently, I combine my private work with my part-time role as a Primary Care Psychotherapist in IAPT (NELFT). I offer Psychotherapy in both Spanish and English.
