About Me

As a Black woman with a rich, multicultural background and personal history of overcoming significant challenges, I
offer a unique and empathetic perspective to my clients in the realm of counselling. My journey through various
sectors of mental health issues, marked by experiences of discrimination, micro-aggressions, and racial attacks,
equips me with a deep understanding of the struggles many clients face. My own encounters with biased teachers,
lack of support, and a misdiagnosed learning disability have fostered a resilience and determination that I now
channel into helping others.
Growing up in a diverse household, I have embraced the cultural influences of my African, Caribbean, Red Indian,
and White European heritage. This multicultural perspective enriches my approach to counselling, allowing me to
connect with clients from various backgrounds and offer a truly inclusive and understanding environment. My

father's emphasis on discipline and perseverance, coupled with my mother's teachings of compassion, authenticity,
and equality, shape my values and drive my commitment to treat all clients with respect and empathy.
My background in sports has been instrumental in developing my communication skills, boosting my confidence, and
managing anxiety. The sense of empowerment and acceptance I found in sports now informs my counselling
practice, helping me to encourage clients to find their own sources of strength and resilience.
Through my own experiences with personal counselling and understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma, I
have gained invaluable insights into the importance of self-care, emotional awareness, and the healing process. This
journey has not only resolved my own emotional barriers but also solidified my belief in the transformative power of
counselling.
In essence, my lived experiences of discrimination, grief, anxiety, and loss of self, combined with my multicultural
heritage and values, allow me to offer a compassionate, empathetic, and empowering counselling experience. I
strive to help my clients feel understood, valued, and supported as they navigate their own challenges and work
towards a place of healing and self-empowerment.

WHAT WE DO

Our mission to enhance self-awareness, acceptance, and confidence, increase the client's self-worth, and improve the overall health of those who are considered a minority for example those of an ethnic background, LGBQ communities, people who have disabilities, or is parents of individuals with disabilities. We would also like to support children who are or have been in a residential home or a behavioral school. We as an organisation understand how individuals considered different can be labeled and treated differently and how this can affect your mental and physical health. 

As a company we deliver a confidential, safe, and secure space for each client to develop and reach a point of independence personally, good overall health (mentally and physically), and feeling empowered and at peace. Our mission is to provide a loyal, diverse, committed overall wellness service that will include: 

  • Person-centered Counselling – Person-centred counseling is a non-directive service, meaning you as the client are in full control of the pace of your development and the issues or distresses you would like to explore. We understand that mental health is important and we aim to resolve any key issues you are facing, this may include; anxiety, depression, abuse (sexual, physical, or mental), loss (loss of self or grief), behavioral issues, past traumas, day-to-day problems or help discover and identity any patterns or triggers.
  •  Structural Support- organisational or structural planning, support, and guidance for you to be able to provide yourself with self-care. This can range from trying to find a work-life balance or you are a single parent who is struggling to juggle everything. 

 Physical and Nutritional Guidance – we offer personalised nutritional sheets to fit your work schedule or health requirements. I understand that eating is a priority, however, it is also encouraged for you to have physical health, therefore we provide fitness advice and support.

Our vision is to promote and improve the mental health and well-being of our clients whilst also maintaining and developing a professional practice. We aim to improve lives by supporting our clients and empowering them to continue through daily life. We will do this with integrity, respect, empathy, and compassion. Our goal is to deliver services online and by phone which will later enable us to include face-to-face services. 

We believe that everyone can grow, however, change does not happen overnight. Therefore, our overall goal is to go through the client's journey with them throughout the process until they reach a point of fulfillment/empowerment/self-actualization.

As the business develops, we will be including several campaigns with information about key areas within mental health, nutrition, and fitness through our blogs and website. The purpose of this is to promote knowledge, insight, and recognition to society. There are also certain areas that we would like to cover that have not been promoted such as intergenerational trauma and other areas with a lack of research. 

We are aware other companies offer many different counseling services which I admire, however, I feel that combining all areas of health and well-being is more efficient for the clients. Therefore in the future, we aim to also offer fitness classes and creativity workshops to acknowledge mindfulness productively.
