I specialise in working with trauma, addiction, grief and loss, body image, confidence, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationships. I also offer adult counselling, child counselling, and couples counselling, tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs.

With 18 years in the health and care sector, I have supported individuals with physical and mental health disabilities, including dementia, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, end-of-life care, higher dependency care, neurodiversity (dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and severe mental health conditions. My experience spans from hospitals, residential care, supported living, private and community settings, where I have worked with people from all walks of life.

Beyond healthcare, my career has been diverse—I have worked in customer service, retail, hospitality, event and hostess roles, security services, PA roles, supervisory positions, and nursery care. I've also had experience in modelling and working abroad in the Caribbean, which has enriched my cultural awareness and adaptability.

Beyond counselling, I teach counselling courses in adult education, equipping future counsellors with essential tools to support others. I also design and facilitate well-being programs that promote mental health awareness in schools, community settings, and professional organisations. I also do cultural awareness workshops focus on Black identities while embracing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Through workshops, training sessions, and public speaking, I strive to create lasting change in mental health support and education.

My purpose is to empower others to heal, grow, and thrive. Becoming the best version of themselves for themselves. Your mind is your most valuable thing you own it is the command centre of your life, the engine that drives every decision you make we have to protect it. I believe in the power of self-discovery and resilience, and I am committed to guiding people towards a more fulfilled and authentic life. Even in the most adverse circumstances and heartbreaking moments, we can still strive to live our most fulfilled life. As long as we have life, we have hope

My own journey of overcoming challenges, multiple traumas , some of the most heart breaking events and health struggles both physically and mentally inspired me to help others. My counselling jounery not only healed me but saved and changed my life. I know firsthand the impact of feeling unheard, and I wanted to create a space where people feel truly seen, understood, and supported.

I advocate for the power of talking and expressing—life is too heavy to carry everything alone. To talk is to release, to share is to lighten the load, and through connection, we find healing
