About me

As a biracial therapist, I bring a unique way of working, shaped by personal and professional experience in identity, belonging, and cultural complexities. I understand the nuances of living between cultures, the weight of expectation, and the challenges of feeling caught between different worlds. My work is deeply informed by issues of diversity, inclusion, and cultural identity, particularly in supporting clients who face cultural clashes, discrimination, or the sense of being 'othered.' I have extensive experience with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, working with intersectionalities of culture, sexuality, and mental health.
Whether you are processing racial trauma, identity-related challenges, or navigating the expectations of family and society, therapy can be a place to reclaim your sense of self. While I may not have lived your exact experiences, struggle is a universal part of being human and I hold deep respect for the resilience it takes to seek support.
I view my role as a guide—helping you navigate your inner world with compassion, curiosity, and an openness to transformation. Therapy is not about erasing pain but about learning to sit with it, process it, and ultimately move forward in a way that feels authentic to you. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you.

Training, qualifications & experience

My professional spans over a decade and since my original post graduate training, I have dedicated myself to continuous professional development. I have expertise in areas such as trauma, ADHD, PTSD, depression, existential crisis, loneliness, loss, bereavement, stress/anxiety, self-esteem, abuse, relationships, and post traumatic growth. I have worked with a diverse range of clients from the LGBTQ+, POC and neurodivergent communities. Being of mixed heritage has provided me with a open minded scope of human experience and I strongly believe that therapy should be inclusive and intercultural. Therefore, my approach uses my personal qualities, my knowledge alongside your own experience to promote positive change. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

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).

Further information

I bring extensive experience in helping people navigate challenges through evidence-based practices such as The Person Centred Approach, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness. I am non-judgmental, ensuring that I honour your boundaries while gently challenging you to grow. I respect your cultural background and beliefs, making our sessions a space for open dialogue.

My hope is that you will feel validated and empowered to explore all facets of your identity. Together, we can address the difficult emotions that may be daunting to face alone. If you’re ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out.
