I am an accredited therapist dedicated to healing both mind and body.
Since 2020, I have immersed myself in the mental‑health sector, starting as a web-chat volunteer with Samaritans, where I learned the art of deep, non‑judgemental presence. Today, I practice as a high‑intensity psychotherapeutic counsellor in the NHS. Alongside this, I bring several years of experience as an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist, treating everything from everyday musculoskeletal pain to chronic, complex issues. This dual expertise means I understand how emotional distress can manifest physically and how physical pain can affect mental wellbeing.

Thank you for stopping by. Reaching out takes courage, especially when what brings us in may only hint at deeper patterns or emotions beneath the surface. Often, we carry unspoken feelings or past experiences that quietly shape how we relate to ourselves and others. In therapy, there’s space to explore these layers with curiosity and care. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand yourself more fully, this could be the start of meaningful change—and you don’t have to do it alone. I invite you to take your time, and when you're ready, we can begin to explore what has bought you to therapy together.

My work is direct, compassionate,and unapologetically real. I combine therapeutic depth with a coaching approach that moves you forward, not just talking about problems but creating real change.This is about clearing the noise, facing the truths you’ve avoided, and building the confidence to live in a way that actually feels like you.

Black British Counsellors
As a Black British, why might I wish to see a therapist who is Black British?
Black British clients may seek out Black British therapists for several reasons, foremost being a sense of cultural understanding and the possibility of shared experiences. Cultural sensitivity and context on the part of the therapist may make it easier to form a therapeutic alliance and to focus on the work of therapy without the need to explain or educate a therapist on cultural matters. It may also be empowering to work with a therapist who shares one’s racial or ethnic background. It is important to note that a therapist who demonstrates cultural sensitivity can be highly effective even if they do not share a client’s background or race.
Can clients benefit from working with a therapist who shares their race or ethnicity?
Yes, having a therapist who shares a client’s race or ethnicity is often valuable, especially if it fosters a strong therapeutic alliance between the two. While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who has an understanding of a client’s background and perhaps also shared life experiences. It should be noted that many clients form a strong bond with their therapist regardless of their race or ethnicity. This is a personal decision, and it depends on the therapist, the client, and the connection between the two.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black British clients?
Clients can ask therapists directly about their experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds, including with Black British individuals. You may wish to inquire whether a therapist has undertaken training in cultural competence broadly, and how specifically they would ensure that their approach is sensitive to the needs of Black British clients. Therapy involves honesty and trust, so it’s best for clients to share concerns about their therapist’s cultural competence at the outset. And a good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals based on the concerns you articulate.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
It’s important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive because everyone comes to therapy with a unique background and set of experiences. Being aware of culture and cultural differences between people is important for understanding clients, as is coming to therapy with an open mind, recognising that the therapist doesn’t necessarily understand everything and that the client can help guide the way.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
