My approach

Psychotherapy and coaching can offer a supportive space to explore, heal and cultivate joy. While I don’t believe it’s possible to fully understand another’s experience, together, we’ll work to uncover the habits holding you back, make courageous changes, process trauma and oppression, and embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

My approach is:

• attachment-informed
• embodied
• relational

This means I believe we can gain as much insight from how we interact as from the content of what we say. My practice draws on childhood, inter-generational and wider cultural experiences to make sense of thoughts, feelings and sensations in the present.

I believe that working with our physicality and paying attention to our bodily sensations can enhance our understanding of ourselves.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and I also have specific expertise working with practitioners in the health, mental health, social care and other caring and wellness professions.

If now isn’t the right time for ongoing therapy, you might be interested in the Wellbeing Reset: a transformative and structured 1:1 coaching package, designed to bring balance and joy into different aspects of your life. After our time together, you will leave with a fresh perspective, a personalised resource pack and some tangible next steps!

You can find out more about my offerings on my website.

Training, qualifications and experience

I am an integrated psychotherapist (UKCP, MBACP and BAATN) and I completed my MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Minster Centre.

To complement the benefits of individual psychotherapy and coaching, I also work in community-based settings and collaborate with organisations who share a motivation for collective wellbeing and social justice. This exciting and sometimes painful work involves critiquing and resisting some conventional models of mental health.

Professional affiliations

You can find me on the:

• British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) directory
• UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) directory

I am a member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN), whose goal is to address the inequality of access to appropriate psychological services for Black, African, South Asian and Caribbean people. See my profile on the BAATN website.

Code of ethics

I follow the BACP ethical framework.
