I am also a practitioner member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network, whose goal is to address the inequality of access to appropriate psychological services for Black, African, South Asian and Caribbean people.
I’m a psychotherapist interested in wellbeing, care and justice. I have over 15 years of experience of supporting the mental health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. My intention is to co-create therapeutic spaces where people can heal, (un)learn and imagine. As we experiment in the therapy room, new possibilities open up outside.
Alongside my clinical work in private and community settings, I conduct research and teach. I enjoy collaborating with organisations who share a motivation for disrupting normative narratives about mental health and nurture more expansive experiences of wellbeing.

Do you sometimes feel invisible or like an outsider, as if you don't belong? Does life feel like an uphill battle most of the time? Do you feel exhausted, desperate or overwhelmed?

Sometimes we can become overwhelmed by our own self limiting beliefs and destructive patterns. Counselling provides a safe space for you to be heard and be accepted. This is a therapeutic relationship where you are supported to understand yourself and empowers you to choose the path which will help you to flourish.

My specialisms include Adultification Bias, Racial Identity, Racial Trauma, and Workplace Trauma, and I also offer therapy to clients from racialised communities (including clients of Black African heritage, African Caribbean heritage and other People of the Global Majority).
After several years of working in the legal sector, I decided to retrain as a Psychotherapist out of my passion to amplify and provide a safe space for the voices of others. I have several years of clinical experience in various reputable institutions, alongside experience as a Clinical Manager in a counselling organisation. As I work integratively with an intersectional and intercultural lens, I have understanding and lived experience of how systems and interpersonal oppression can affect wellbeing in many ways. I also am a qualified Clinical Supervisor for individuals and groups, incorporating this same lens for supervisees.

As a French Black male, I can empathise with feelings of being othered, so I am passionate about supporting people to cultivate a sense belonging.
I also offer counselling for other issues. I am here to help you find your own answers to the day to day struggles you have. Life can be difficult and from time to time things can get in the way of us feeling fulfilled. Having access to a therapeutic space can be a really supportive way to make sense of these types of feelings with someone you do not know.

On the outside it looks like everything's fine. You appear confident in work, people seek your advice, you've been considered a high achiever for most of your life. But on the inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected. It's hard for you to switch off, you constantly feel guilty for resting, you hate asking for help. You're irritable, losing sleep and although you're functioning everyday, you're surviving more than you are thriving. It feels like no matter what you do, it's never good enough. Your inner critic says to just get on with it, other people have it worse. But, you're ready for change, you just don't know where to start.

My role, as a psychodynamic therapist, is to provide an environment that is confidential and safe. This is why I do what I do. I provide an outside perspective to help you understand how your past influences present behaviours; your use of defences to avoid reality and awareness of how unconscious reoccurrence operates in your life. With your assistance my aim is to develop different strategies in making better choices to existing problems and explore beliefs of past feelings, memories. This doesn’t mean all your life is broken, but certain grey areas compromising the relationships you’re having with self and others.

Is your mental health suffering? Does life often feel frustrating, confusing, or even unbearable at times? Through empathy, authenticity and the safety of a non-judgemental space, we can explore whatever is coming up for you. It is within this safe space that the self can be explored and self awareness can grow. I have experience working with many different themes, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss/bereavement, self-harm, suicidal ideation, domestic/sexual abuse, identity, gender/sexuality, and hopelessness. I believe it is an honour and a privilege to be able to hold space for you through your circumstances.

My ideal client is one that recognises that they do not have to deal with life alone. Understanding the strength in seeking guidance and support from therapy is where the work begins and it allows the creation of a safe space to think about you. One way I work is to help build an individual’s sense of self that allows them to acknowledge their own needs and helps them navigate life and its difficulties. I have experience working with diverse groups whether that be in age or culture and have worked with a variety of issues.

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.
