CBT Therapy for Perfectionism, Pressure, and High Self-Expectations. We commonly work with people who feel constantly switched “on”. People who appear to be coping well externally but feel internally driven, mentally overloaded, responsible, and holding themselves to high standards. They may be finding that the usual ways of coping are no longer working as well as they once did.
Alongside this specialist focus, we also support adults whose difficulties are beginning to affect daily functioning, work, or relationships. You can learn how to prioritise a lot of responsibility in a way that does not compromise success.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, identity struggles, or life transitions keep repeating in ways you can’t fully explain. You want more than symptom relief — you want understanding, clarity, and lasting change. You’re ready to explore the roots of your difficulties, build emotional resilience, and respond to life with confidence rather than reaction.

My ideal clients feel like something is “off” in their relationship with food, even without a formal diagnosis — stuck in cycles of bingeing, restricting, guilt and shame. Many have ADHD or grew up with inconsistent, unpredictable caregiving, and food became the one thing that felt controllable or comforting. They’re tired of being told to “just have more willpower” and want to understand the pattern underneath. If that sounds like you, please know you’re not broken, and you don’t have to keep figuring this out alone — I’d love to hear your story.

Many of the people I work with are struggling with questions of faith, identity, and culture, often alongside a loss of meaning or a fractured relationship with belief, responsibility, and self.

My role is not to offer quick fixes. It is to help you think clearly about your life, your history, and the patterns you find yourself repeating, especially the ones you already recognise but cannot shift.

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.
