About Me
As a Black mixed-race Woman who spent her formative years growing up in the United Arab Emirates I identify as a third-culture kid (TCK).
My lived experience contributes greatly to my deep interest in Identity and the impact this has on our perception of the world and our relationships within it.
My commitment to CPD (continuing professional development) allows me to deepen my knowledge and expand my world view.
Background
A significant portion of my career was spent in the corporate world, specifically within the Advertising industry.
I have supported women in similar industries who hold professional ambition whilst enduring a range of workplace psychological issues such as:
- stress & burn out
- "high-functioning" anxiety
- harassment & bullying
- racism (overt & covert)
In addition to this I have supported clients through a diverse and extensive range of presenting problems such as:
- anxiety
- depression
- relationship dynamics
- divorce & separation
- abuse
- CSA
- body image
- self worth/esteem
- ADHD
- intrusive thoughts
- identity
