My Approach

I work relationally and collaboratively, supporting individuals to explore meaning, identity, freedom, and the lived realities of race, culture, and belonging. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I offer a space that honours your unique story and supports you in making sense of your experience on your own terms.

About Me

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with a Doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling. My practice is informed by European existential thought and African existential Psychotherapy, offering a culturally attuned, decolonial, and deeply reflective therapeutic space.

I work with

  • Companies
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups
  • Individuals

Special Interests

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.

I work with clients to explore the emotional, relational, and existential roots of addiction, creating space for recovery that honours personal meaning and context.
I support couples in navigating relationship challenges, improving communication, and reconnecting through a deeper understanding of each partner's lived experience and relational dynamics.
I am interested in how gender is experienced, expressed, and shaped across cultural and social contexts. I work affirmatively with clients exploring gender identity and roles.
I offer a reflective and non-pathologising approach to mental health, supporting clients in making sense of their distress within the broader context of their lives and identities.
I have a special interest in exploring the psychological impact of race, racism and cultural identity, with a particular focus on the lived experiences of Black individuals within a racialised society.
