About Me

I am a dedicated Psychotherapist, Mindfulness Teacher, and Yoga Teacher with an extensive background in treating complex trauma, emotional disorders, and identity-related injury. My work is defined by a deep-seated passion for social equity and compassion, particularly in supporting those from marginalised communities, including Global Majority (BAME) and LGBTQ+ populations.

Clinical Expertise and Mindfulness Integration

With a Master’s degree in Mindfulness from the University of Oxford, I am qualified to teach both Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). My experience spans the NHS and the private sector, where I have delivered the gold-standard 8-week MBCT programme for chronic depression, as well as adapted wellness courses for community groups.

In my clinical practice, I integrate mindfulness as a transformative tool for healing. I specialise in helping individuals navigate low self-esteem and complex trauma through:

• Attentional Training: Developing the capacity to stabilise the mind.

• Emotional Distancing & Regulation: Learning to observe thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed.

• Distress Tolerance: Building the resilience to stay present with difficult experiences.

• Self-Compassion: Cultivating a kind, supportive inner voice to counter shame and identity injury.

Commitment to Inclusion and Social Justice

I am deeply committed to "levelling up" access to mindfulness, ensuring it is a resource for all, regardless of socio-economic status or background. My work actively addresses poverty-related stressors and intergenerational racial trauma, utilising a trauma-informed approach that prioritises psychological safety and cultural sensitivity.

Professional Foundations

My teaching is grounded in lifelong learning and a robust connection to meditative traditions. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga and have recently completed the Community Dharma Leader (CDL) training at Gaia House. To further deepen the theoretical and ethical foundations of my work, I am currently enrolled in the Committed Practitioner Programme (CPP) at Bodhi College.

By weaving together clinical evidence, ancient wisdom, and a modern commitment to diversity, I aim to foster a space where individuals can move toward liberation, healing, and a profound sense of self-worth.
