I take an eclectic approach to therapy because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all model when it comes to being an individual, a family, or a couple. Each person and relationship is unique, shaped by different experiences, identities, and cultural contexts.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a space that is truly yours, where you feel seen, heard, and safe to explore. Together, we will find the approach that best fits you, your story, and your goals. Whether working with individuals, families, or couples, I adapt my methods to support meaningful growth, understanding, and connection.
I bring over 25 years of experience working within NHS mental health services, supporting individuals, couples, families, and teams across a wide range of settings. I am a UKCP-registered Systemic and Family Psychotherapist and hold a Master’s degree in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy, which underpins my relational, holistic, and collaborative approach to therapeutic work.
I am also EMDR-trained, with extensive experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and PTSD. I integrate EMDR with systemic and relational approaches where appropriate, helping clients process difficult and distressing experiences, develop healthier ways of coping, and move towards greater emotional wellbeing.
I am passionate about family, relationships, and the ways in which our experiences shape who we are. As a Black African woman, my lived experience as a migrant and my journey of settling into a new culture have profoundly informed my therapeutic practice. Being in an interracial marriage has also given me insight into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the intersections of race, culture, and gender. These perspectives inform my understanding of how personal, relational, cultural, and societal narratives can influence how we see ourselves and relate to others.
I am particularly passionate about supporting parents in raising emotionally aware, open-minded, and inclusive children who are equipped to navigate an increasingly diverse world. I also work with couples of all gender identities and sexual orientations, supporting them to explore relationship dynamics, improve communication, strengthen their connection, and navigate challenges together.
My approach is warm, compassionate, reflective, and inclusive. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their histories, identities, relationships, and experiences with honesty and compassion. My aim is to work collaboratively with each person or family, drawing on their strengths and helping them develop greater understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
