About me and my therapy practice

I am an integrative psychotherapist with over 18 years of diverse professional experience in psychotherapy, visual arts, ceramics, and social entrepreneurship. This multidisciplinary background enhances my appreciation for cultural identity, creativity, and the various ways we communicate and connect. It also enables me to work sensitively with both collectivist and individualist cultural frameworks.

My practice provides a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients from all backgrounds can explore a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, grief, sexuality, and relationship challenges. I am dedicated to offering trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and culturally competent care that respects each client’s unique lived experience.

As a Transcultural Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, drawing on modalities such as Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as insights from Freudian and Jungian psychology.

In addition to my clinical training, I hold a Master’s degree in Multimedia Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

Practice description

I offer a warm, empathetic, and collaborative space where you can feel genuinely heard and supported. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed and culturally sensitive practice, tailored to your unique needs, values, and pace.

I have extensive experience working with a broad range of issues, including trauma, grief, PTSD, sexuality, self-harm, relationship difficulties, and cross-cultural dynamics. I also specialise in supporting individuals affected by complex trauma, such as human trafficking, modern slavery, and domestic abuse.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, emotions, and identity with confidence and care.

My first session

Our first 50-minute session offers a welcoming, confidential space to discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and consider your goals. I’ll complete an initial assessment to understand your well-being and outline how my approach may support you. You’re welcome to ask questions and decide whether working together feels right for you.
