About me

I am a Registered and Accredited Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience across various mental health services. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a Clinical Supervisor and Counselling Lecturer, committed to advancing mental health care and supporting the development of professionals in the field.

A significant part of my work has involved assessing individuals for their suitability for psychological interventions, providing me with in-depth experience across a broad spectrum of mental health conditions—from stress and anxiety to complex and enduring psychiatric illnesses. Through this, I have developed a strong understanding of the challenges involved in navigating healthcare systems, including the NHS, particularly for individuals with complex needs.

My approach to therapy is highly personalised, acknowledging that mental health is shaped by multiple factors, including relationships, social environments, and cultural influences. I work with clients to explore these interconnected aspects, ensuring that therapy is both comprehensive and meaningful to their lived experiences.

 Statement of Inclusion and the Global Majority 

 I recognise that navigating predominantly white eurocentric spaces whether in professional, educational, or social settings, can bring a unique set of challenges for those who are part of the global majority. The significance of being the 'different,' the implications of code-switching, and the impact of systemic bias are not just individual struggles; they are collective realities rooted in larger histories of exclusion and inequity.

While I acknowledge that I, too, exist within these structures, my commitment is to address these dynamics with honesty, care, and an awareness ( and to learn) of the broader systemic forces at play. My approach is not about forcing assimilation or minimising experiences but about creating a space where your reality is validated, your resilience is respected, and your treatment is centred on your terms. Therapy should not be another space where you feel the need to filter yourself—it should be a place where you feel seen, understood, and empowered.

 What to expect when you contact me.

 I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation for those considering therapy. This is an opportunity to ask any initial questions, get a sense of how I work, and determine whether we’re a good fit. There’s no obligation to move forward, and I encourage everyone to explore different therapists when possible research shows that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is a key factor in successful outcomes. At a minimum, you should feel respected, heard, and safe enough to engage openly.

If you decide to book a session, we’ll confirm a date and time, and I’ll send a detailed email with everything you need, including session logistics, fees, and transportation or parking details.
