About Me
Ximena Hernandez-Hudson:
​
My training and life experience has provided me with a solid foundation in science and research. I have experience counselling people who have had a wide variety of issues, challenges and/or problems.
​
My approach is specifically tailored to your individual needs, beliefs and dilemmas. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another because each person has a different set of requirements and frame of reference.
​
I propose a two-way process where the client and therapist collaborate openly and creatively. I have a special interest in diversity and do not judge on the basis of racial group, sexuality, mental health, religion, age, employment, status, gender, marital status, political opinion, ability or language. My life and experiences have helped me develop values that are meaningful to me which is one of the reasons I counsel.

Testimonials
"I would thoroughly recommend Ximena. In the past 6 months, she has been immensely supportive. Her approach is professional and yet very personable and relatable - she shows a genuine interest in me, my life and the issues being discussed. Our sessions are purposeful and built on core therapeutic themes from week to week but there was always an opportunity to go (off-script) depending on what I need. Ximena has guided me to a much-needed change of perspective and armed me with usable tools to focus on self-care in a mindful way".
Testimonials
"I was very lucky to find Ximena to be my therapist when I was in a very difficult period of my life. As I am Swedish I felt it to be a relief to be able to express my feelings in my own language, since Ximena is fluent ins Swedish. I was going through both the loss of my little brother and divorce with a 2-year-old child in a foreign country. I got the right sympathy from someone that could really understand how it was to be in my situation. She also helped me to understand myself better and most importantly how I could help myself in different ways".
Testimonials
"I really recommend joining Ximena therapeutic sessions with active listening, professionality which made me feel comfortable and confident with her from the first moment. The therapeutic accompaniment has helped me to face a stage of changes and uncertainties that I found difficult to overcome myself. She gave me to see the importance of being happy and taking care of my own well-being. Her guidelines and advice have been key to my personal growth and I am sure they will accompany me the rest of my life".
