Growing up in a rural community where mental health services were scarce and often unaffordable, I developed a strong passion for psychology and supporting disadvantaged communities. Entering the field, I recognised the lack of representation for people of colour and queer identities. As a Black and queer counsellor, I bring both visibility and cultural sensitivity, creating inclusive spaces where clients can feel safe, understood, and empowered.
My counselling approach is collaborative, rooted in active listening, empathy, and respect for each client’s unique journey. I know from personal experience that seeking help can sometimes feel like weakness, especially for men and people of colour. This is why I strive to create a non-judgmental environment that encourages authenticity, vulnerability, and resilience.
