I wonder if you have been feeling sad, stressed or anxious? Have these feelings been with you for a long time? Are you wondering when they will reappear? It’s like dreading what is around the corner and finding it hard to enjoy or feel good in the present. Other people look like they’re having fun but your world is a shade of grey. Things that you loved doing no longer give you happiness and it's hard to concentrate. At times it takes lots of energy to go out or spend time with people who care about you. Your confidence and ability to cope disappear as you become stuck and the people around you become as worn down as you feel.

Hi, I'm Ashanty, a BACP Registered Psychotherapist and UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist offering online therapy.
Do you find yourself caught in the same patterns in your relationships, in how you feel, in how you respond to the world, and wonder why they're so hard to change? Perhaps you're looking for a space to finally understand yourself more deeply.

My research areas of neurodiversity and racial identity are supported by my psychotherapy training at the highly regarded Minster Centre, alongside my African Psychology studies.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt or low self-esteem? Do you find it hard to express your true thoughts and feelings? Are you facing challenges in building and maintaining healthy relationships? If you often feel disconnected from others and struggle to form meaningful connections, you're not alone. These struggles may stem from past experiences, emotional patterns, or interpersonal skills. However, therapy is very much an individual process and working towards empowering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence is key.

My primary clients are at-risk teenage boys and men navigating identity, belonging, and disconnection. My experience is vast: systemic family therapy in private law, leading a Place2Be family therapy project, emotional literacy programmes and 1:1 support across SEND schools, alternative provision, state schools, youth correctional facilities, prisons, Premier League football clubs, and corporations internationally. Whatever environment a young person or family has moved through, I have likely worked within it, and that breadth is what helps clients move forward with someone who genuinely understands their world.

My ideal client is someone who feels that something in their life no longer fits, even if they can’t quite explain why. Often, life looks fine on the outside, yet internally they may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. This can show up in relationships, intimacy or desire, a sense of emotional flatness, or difficulty feeling at home in themselves.
They are often thoughtful and reflective, but feel caught in familiar patterns or disconnected from their body or emotions. They want space to understand themselves more fully. Their goal is to live in a way that feels more authentic, meaningful, and alive.

I work with people who feel stuck, lost, or weighed down by a low mood they can’t quite explain. Many of my clients describe waking up with a heaviness that makes even getting out of bed feel like a challenge, yet they hold a quiet hope that things can change. That hope is where our work begins.
People come to my practice looking for someone who will truly listen, without judgment, without trying to fix or reshape their lives, but instead someone who will walk alongside them as they make sense of the parts that feel cloudy or missing. I offer a space built on patience, trust, and genuine presence.

FAQ - Black Counselling
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.
