Hi, I’m Geena.
I believe everyone’s story is unique, and I’m passionate about offering a safe, non-judgmental space where you can truly be heard.
Together, we'll work through your thoughts and emotions, fostering self-awareness and growth. My goal is to support you in feeling empowered, understanding your challenges, and building the resilience to overcome them.
I’m here to guide you on your journey toward positive change, helping you take charge of your emotional well-being, while making therapy as comfortable and supportive as possible.
Let's create the change you deserve!
I’m a clinical psychologist with over seven years of experience in the NHS. I’m a registered practitioner with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the Association of Clinical Psychologists in the UK. My work centres on helping individuals from diverse backgrounds, and I believe therapy should be an inclusive space that respects different cultural contexts.
I focus on supporting people from a range of minoritised communities and enjoy exploring how aspects of identity, i.e., race, gender, and sexuality, shape our experiences, especially when navigating hidden power structures.
About Me
I am an Associate Clinical Psychologist at Blue River Psychology.
Blue River Psychology offers therapy focused on women’s mental health, with an emphasis on cultural, racial, and maternal issues.
I am also an Associate Clinical Psychologist with Dr Reena Ali, she offers psychological services for all individuals dealing with challenges like abuse, anxiety, trauma, and more, alongside bespoke training for corporations and the NHS.
They provide therapeutic support through personalised assessments and therapy to address any emotional difficulties you may find yourself facing.
My Associate Work
My Approach
In my practice, I use different methods to help you make sense of difficult past experiences. Together, we’ll explore where your challenges may come from and find ways to help you build strength and cope with life's difficulties.
I use a range of evidence-based psychological approaches to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs. These include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Helping you identify and break free from unhelpful thought patterns.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – Building self-compassion to counter feelings of shame and guilt.
Narrative Therapy – Empowering you to reframe and rewrite the stories you tell about your life.
Systemic Therapy – Focusing on your relationships and interactions within families and groups.
Together, we'll work creatively to find what fits best for you and your journey.
