Our approach to talking therapies gives significant consideration to your ancestral origins as well as cultural and spiritual influences, no matter where in the world you are born and/or raised. The belief that these aspects influence your mental health experiences has inspired the
Four Pillars of M.I.T (Culture, Ethnicity, Identity and Spirituality).
Our approach enables holistic therapy that truly holds the
‘person’ at the ‘centre’ of their therapy.
The therapeutic journey is a collaborative process, 'you get out what you put in'. We work with you to identify aspects of your life that might be holding you back from your dreams and goals, and establish a set of tools for your 'tool bag' to support your healing journey during and after therapy.
We accept self referrals and third party referrals including GP referrals.
We have provided services for various organizations such as BLAM Charity, Womens Trust, Victim Support, Headstrong counselling, The Deborah Ubee Trust and more.

African-Centred Intercultural Therapy (ACIT)
An eclectic approach integrating African-centred thought and Intercultural psychotherapy, which addresses
culture, ethnicity, identity and spirituality (CEIS),
when working therapeutically to support individual

The psychological impact of issues that affect racialised and minoritized groups are also observed through a
trauma informed lens.
These elements are integral to working with persons from minority ethnic groups.
