At heart, I think therapy is about discovering what it means to be human. The human condition is profound, as are the ways we search for a more peaceful and connected life, rich with meaning.

Therapy with me is centred on an understanding that people are more than their problems, with an inherent capacity to create space for possibility and change. I work from this belief to foster excitement, creativity and compassion in our lives and in our relationships with others.

My first life studying English literature led me to a passion for stories of all kinds – especially how people come together with stories to create meaning. Let’s explore the stories you tell about yourself, the ones you hold dear and the ones that shape your identity. 

Informed by my own experiences, including my understanding of the Black and Afro-Caribbean communities, I am able to honour different traditions and ways of knowing. I am passionate about culture, identity and the multi-faceted nature of experience.

I love animals, Lord of the Rings and books- ALL THE BOOKS. A thing I love about connecting with clients is showing that I’m a real person too. I show up as my authentic self in each session.
