About me
Counselling with Me
Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, perhaps shaped by generational influences, and unsure how to break free?
I provide a compassionate and supportive space where we can explore these patterns together. Through deeper self-awareness, you can create healthier, more fulfilling ways of being. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to help you unpack your story, identify meaningful changes, and begin the journey toward healing.
How I Support Clients:
- Share at your own pace: Feel heard and understood as we explore your experiences, emotions, and root challenges.
- Explore past and present impact: Understand how past experiences influence your current life and relationships.
- Create lasting change: Discover what needs to shift for meaningful and sustainable growth.
I offer a unique, blended approach combining counselling and therapeutic coaching for individuals ready to deepen their self-awareness and move toward a more grounded, confident, and aligned version of themselves.
Special Interests:
I have a special interest in trauma and intercultural therapy. This means helping clients explore how life’s challenges and generational patterns shape their worldviews, while considering cultural context and personal history.
My Therapeutic Style:
I take a relaxed and relational approach, showing up authentically as a human first. Transparency, honesty, and genuine connection are at the heart of my practice. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful work, so creating a comfortable, trusting environment is my top priority.
Finding the right therapist can be challenging, so I offer a free telephone consultation to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.
Send me a message or email to arrange the best time for me to contact you. I look forward to connecting!

Therapeutic Background
I have worked with individuals and families over the past 10 years in social care settings and then therapeutically when I set up my private practice in 2018.
I have experience working one-to-one and in groups with clients in counselling settings in London and Kent. I have extensive experience supporting Black and mixed-race clients who want to understand the impact of their lived experiences and deepen their self-awareness.
I prioritise creating space for clients to explore generational patterns and childhood experiences in the context of culture, helping them understand the long-term impact of life events and how to overcome them.
I am a registered counsellor specialising in Integrative Therapy. I use person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to support clients.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and hold a degree in Psychology.
Cultural Competence
As a mixed Black woman, my personal and professional experiences have deepened my understanding of differences in gender, race, age, culture, economic background, religion, and sexuality. I have extensive experience supporting clients who are Black and mixed-race.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
