Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and reaching out for support is often the hardest step. I am here to provide a “safer”, caring and supportive space to you in your mental health journey. I step into the therapeutic space as a woman of colour and a psychotherapist. I recognize how the systems we exist in influence our lives and experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, intersectional, and anti-oppressive. In our sessions, I encourage exploration, offer support, and nurture fresh perspectives through gentle and creative methods.

I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health supporting people with depression and anxiety. I help individuals develop skills to become more assertive, build self-esteem and manage emotions such as anxiety, low mood, anger, and cope with the ups and downs of loss.

Does a lack of intimacy and communication leave you feeling discouraged about the future of your relationship? Do you feel distant and disconnected from your partner? Do you yearn to have your voice heard without judgment and your experiences met with empathy? We all dream of a fairytale romance but the realities of long-term partnership and parenthood can create challenges. The good news is that you're not alone and there are effective ways to reconnect and use these difficulties to strengthen your bond. It doesn't matter how long you've struggled. Together, we can revive love, passion, and intimacy in your relationship.

I believe that clients are the experts in their life and aim to act as a guide in helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients from a holistic perspective that focuses on the interconnectedness of the whole being – the mind, body and soul. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, healing, integrative counselling approach by combining traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments, such as Breathwork, EFT Tapping/Thought Field Therapy, Mindfulness and Reiki Energy Healing modalities when appropriate.
