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.

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.

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
