Therapeutic Experience

My professional experience includes working with clients in areas such as

• Grief and loss

• Family and relationship issues

• Anxiety and depression

• Work-related stress

• Domestic and sexual abuse

• Addiction and eating disorders

• Low self-esteem and confidence

• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts

• Trauma

My personal passions lie in advocating for the mixed-race perspective of mental health. My MSc research explored themes of loneliness, disconnection and lack of belonging, which can be felt by individuals as they are often forced to negotiate aspects of their identity. This research continues to inform my practice as I ensure to work-within-diversity, providing clients with the opportunity to feel seen for all aspects of their identity, offering a reparative sense of belonging in my Counsouling Corner.

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally exhausted. In time, life will feel a little easier to face, and you’ll start to recognise yourself again. For some, it's about breaking unhelpful patterns. For others, it might look like exploring the root of things. Either way, there is no rush and no dismissal.
