Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in familiar patterns can be exhausting. You might notice past experiences still shaping how you see yourself, how you relate to others, or how safe you feel in the world. Perhaps you’re ready for something to shift, but you’re not sure where to start.
I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can gently explore what’s holding you back and support meaningful, lasting change. My aim is to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and trust in yourself, so you can move through life with more ease and clarity.

I am a dual qualified BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and registered Social Worker.

My methods are based on deep pool of scientific research into behavioural, cognitive, emotional, neurobiological, and evolutionary principles. I am also qualified as an EMDR Therapist.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve spent a long time holding everything together on your own. You’ve done your best to manage, but it’s becoming harder to keep going.
You’re here because you want things to feel different: calmer, clearer, and more in your control. You don’t need to have all the answers before you start; you just need a safe, structured space to make sense of what’s happening and take steady steps forward.

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.
I work with people who want to understand themselves properly, not just manage symptoms. Experiences such as religious trauma, diaspora identity, internalised racism, and racial trauma sit at the centre of my work.
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.
