About:

Abril specialises in supporting high-performing professionals navigating stress, burnout, and the internal pressures that often accompany success. Before training as a counsellor, she worked as a corporate lawyer both in private practice and in the tech sector, giving her first-hand insight into the pace, expectations, and emotional demands of high-pressure environments.

Her work is informed by a deep understanding of the challenges faced by driven individuals, such as chronic stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, and the tension between professional achievement and personal wellbeing. Abril helps clients develop clarity, resilience, and psychological flexibility so they can perform sustainably while staying connected to their values and sense of self.

Having lived, studied, and worked across multiple countries, Abril also brings a culturally sensitive lens to her practice, supporting clients navigating cross-cultural transitions, identity questions, and complex global work contexts.
