About Me.

Growing up, I don’t remember ever really fitting the mould. That feeling, at least in part, has guided me towards my career as a therapist. I am passionate about creating a society where we can be our authentic selves, first and foremost.

Today, I am proudly a Black, sex-positive, compassion-based, relational therapist. This isn’t just a collection of buzzwords - it’s a genuine reflection of the many sides that make me who I am. And honestly, that’s just the shortlist.

For me, therapy isn’t about trying to “fix” you. That would imply you’re broken. The very fact that you’re here shows that you have survived life’s challenges. The difficulty is that the survival strategies we developed to keep us safe in childhood can sometimes get in the way of forming healthy relationships with ourselves and others - whether in friendships, romantic relationships, work, or play.

Maybe you find yourself stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or other unhelpful behaviours. Or perhaps you feel immobilised by grief, depression, or shame. Whatever it is, you’re here because something needs to change.

This belief underpins my work: so much of our growth comes from learning to let go. And we both know that’s easier said than done. So, I’ll ask you this…

Does your life reflect who you truly are - or who you’ve had to be?

This question goes beyond individual change; it’s about understanding the complex reality of your life, including your experience of power, community, belonging, and inclusion. We may live side by side, but our worlds can feel very different.

As a therapist, I want to understand not only how you relate to society - but also how society relates to you. And then, how might that shape your experience?

I chose therapy because I don’t believe there is one single template for how to live our lives. I’m not here just to support you through difficult times - I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore what living authentically means for you.

The path hasn’t always been clear, and like many, I’ve faced doubts along the way - but that’s all part of the journey.

Together, we’ll explore a path that feels true to you and supports the life you want to create.
