About me
Are you a person of colour holding it together on the outside but feeling unsteady within?
The anxiety, stress, or disconnection you feel may not simply be a problem to fix, but a signal that something deeper may be asking for your attention.
If you’re ready to hold space for what this might be, I can help. I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor offering online and in-person therapy, working primarily with adults of colour across the UK and Europe. I offer a compassionate, gently challenging and reflective space for adults of colour to attend to their concerns with care and without judgement. Whether that is cultural expectations, black tax, imposter syndrome, trauma, burnout, stress, anxiety, depression or even the internalised pressure of ‘what-will-people-say’ – all of it is welcome.
My work is trauma-informed and culturally attuned, recognising how identity, relationships and wider systems shape your sense of self and your experiences. My integrative training means I can adapt my approach to suit what you bring. This looks like sometimes:
- focusing on how the past may be shaping your experience or
- how the meanings you make of your experience may be impacting you or
- how your expectations of relationship may be showing up in our relationship or
- what the emotions and sensations you feel in your body may be telling us about your experiences
Alongside all of this, I’ll be sharing tools and information which you can use to support you during therapy and once therapy is over.
Alongside ongoing therapy, I also offer Soundboard Sessions. These are one-off reflective sessions for when you want to think something through. This could be to process a decision or direction or simply ordering your thinking. This is suitable for those who don’t need ongoing support or accountability but do need a clarifying conversation to help them take their next steps with clarity.
If what I offer resonates with you, feel free to book a 15-minute introductory call to see whether we might be a good fit. To find out more, visit my website or book a call via my booking page.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
