INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Approach and background

I am an integrative psychotherapist drawing on a variety of modalities to best suit your needs. I have worked with a wide range of clients, seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief, burn out, self-confidence, questions of identity and belonging, complex family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, as well as inter-racial and inter-faith relationship issues.  

Identity and belonging are fundamental to our sense of safety and feeling understood. Being of multi-racial heritage, I have a particular interest in this area. This is the fastest growing demographic in the UK but remains largely underrepresented in all fields.  

I have lived experience of living and working in other countries. Learning and adjusting to other social, linguistic, and cultural references is immensely beneficial, allowing us to adapt quickly in new environments, but it can also leave us feeling alienated and disconnected, wondering where home really is – belonging everywhere and nowhere.  

Prior to this, I spent over a decade working in law enforcement in the UK and Europe, and this has given me an insight into high stress environments and burn out and the impact this can have on mental health and wellbeing.

I work at a mental health charity within an NHS Talking Therapies setting and a low-cost counselling service .
