THERAPY AVAILABILITY

Tuesday 

Qualified Integrative Arts Psychotherapist

I have experience  working with complex grief and trauma, childhood trauma, domestic abuse/violence, stress, major depression and addiction.

My practise is underpinned by Psychodynamic and Humanistic (Gestalt and TA) approaches which are integrated with the use of the arts including, amongst others, mark making and sand tray. I am able to adapt my delivery to maximize client engagement, even when it is not possible to use the arts. 

I am passionate about providing therapeutic support for Black and Indigenous People of Colour (BIPOC), to enable them to engage in their own healing and self-exploration. I have an authentic interest in people and an ability to build safe and containing therapeutic relationships as well as forming favourable interactions with colleagues. I have a grounding and calm presence and can hold myself professionally and be aware of my own process and intuitions. My approach is characterised by a deep desire to help others feel connected and worthy of love and belonging through the gift of art psychotherapy.

I am an integrative therapist with experience working with ethnically diverse client groups. I have specialised in working with those impacted by domestic abuse, trauma, family dynamics, racial identity and life transitions for many years. I work with a holistic intercultural approach, and am skilled in supporting individuals with racial identity issues, particularly those who identify as mixed or dual heritage. I have proven intercultural therapy abilities and am also an accredited parenting facilitator.

Tuesday, Thursday  (Evening)

In person / face-to-face & online 

I integrate Western modalities with  African-centred and holistic systems to health. I work with a holistic system which views the whole person as a being made up of parts that ultimately requires unification in order for one to experience health well-being and success.  I also integrate Taoism (transpersonal ideas) and a more African centred holistic psychology that includes the cultivation of spirt. 

I am passionate about helping people overcome their stress reactions and enhance cognitive, brain and hormone health in adults and teenagers.  I have a special interest in the psychobiology of trauma and healing systems that engages levels that talk therapy alone cannot reach and engage a deeper understanding of what is “self” consciousness and will.
