Mission Statement
To provide the community with a culturally sensitive counselling psychotherapy service that holds a worldview and considers culture, ethnicity, race and spirituality as fundamental aspects for all users of the service.
(The Four Pillars of Mabadiliko Therapy)
Mabadiliko Therapy holds the belief that no matter where in the world you are born, raised or live, your ancestral origins and cultural influences play a significant role in the make-up of who you are, and influences mental health experiences. The Intercultural Counselling Psychotherapy approach enables holistic therapy that truly holds the ‘person’ at the ‘center’ of their therapy.
Traditional and widespread approaches to talking therapy are often delivered from a Euro-centric perspective. This approach can sometimes fail to meet the needs of people from Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups or People of Colour (PoC), as cultural sensitivity and true empathetic understanding is limited.

My Intercultural therapeutic approach involves focusing on the inner workings of the clients subjective experience that relates specifically to their racial, ethnic and spiritual background, beliefs and traditions.
Psychotherapy is tailored to each individual, which makes it a unique and subjective experience; this helps me to facilitate an authentic holistic healing process. Aspects of life coaching is also infused into the process, to enable confidence and practical tasking along the way.
The therapeutic process is a collaborative one, 'you get out what you put in'. I work with you to identify the elements that might be holding you back, and establish a set of tools for you 'tool bag' to support your journey during and post therapy.
