You've landed here for a reason. Maybe something feels stuck: in your life, work, or yourself. Maybe you're carrying something that's hard to name. Maybe you've been looking for a therapist who understands not just what you're going through, but the world you're moving through. I'm a Consultant Psychotherapist, with a particular interest in working with people navigating multiple identities; race, heritage, cultural background, class, gender, sexual orientation, faith, neurodivergence, immigration status, and other intersecting identities, and the weight that carries in a world that hasn't always made space for the whole you.
My practice is rooted in a commitment to social and racial justice, and this is the lens I view the world through. However I welcome anyone, regardless of ethnicity, background or identity. I have over two decades of experience, and I work with children, young people, adults, and families, drawing on psychodynamic approaches, community psychology and EMDR.
If you've ever felt like you have to leave parts of yourself at the door, this is a space where you don't have to. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest and culturally sensitive. You're the expert of your own life, and my job is to help you understand yourself more deeply. I offer a free 20 minute initial consultation to see whether we're a good fit.

I appreciate discussing finances is sensitive. I offer a sliding scale because I believe what you can pay shouldn't determine whether you can access support. I also offer limited free therapy slots prioritised for young Black people. Fees vary for family work and EMDR, please get in touch to discuss

I specialise in working with people navigating multiple identities and the complexity of navigating systems that were never designed with them in mind. Therapy with me doesn't follow a fixed plan; we work collaboratively, at your pace, starting where you are. Having a space to think honestly and without judgement, can begin to shift something. The relationship between us is key to the work.

My approach is psychodynamic at its core; interested in what's underneath, the patterns, histories, and dynamics that shape how you move through the world. I draw on EMDR where trauma is present, and bring a community psychology and healing justice framework that understands people as being embedded in families, communities, and systems. Sessions are collaborative, relational, and honest.
