about

Honouring liminal spaces, holding creative rituals to weave containers for new narratives, identities and imaginings to dwell. Mending soul skins, torn, thinned, fraying.

Celebrating This Life and all the ways we long to be to ourselves and each other beyond the edges and shadows of words and worldly actions; courageous and mysterious.

Holding a deep tentativeness in being, a sense of erasure and subtraction from Ghanian, Jamaican and English narratives, particularly living in rural Lincolnshire and being raised in an all white step- family, early on, I found grounding, solace and communion in the natural world of non binary landscapes, waters, animals and art which inform my writing, creative and therapeutic offering.

I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches gathered over the past 20 years from different trainings and lived experiences, to offer a carefully blended approach for your needs. Developing a therapeutic alliance with you based on mutual trust, curiosity and willingness is essential for successful therapy. Always I have in mind, co-weaving with you a container for gestating joy, truth telling and healing that is nourished and supported by a healthy community. We are meant to matter to each other, our communities and environments.
