ABOUT ME
My Psychology Journey:
I am a Black British Nigerian woman with lived experience of multiple traumatic events, including childhood abuse, neglect, and homelessness. These personal experiences have deeply shaped my perspective and commitment to supporting others.
Since 2014, I have worked in mental health services across inpatient, specialist, and community settings, including older adult, forensic, acute, and rehabilitation care. I have supported people with complex mental health needs using a range of psychological approaches. I later completed doctoral training and qualified as an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist. This training equipped me to provide comprehensive mental and behavioural health care to individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as to offer consultation, training, supervision, and research-informed practice.
Since qualifying, I have worked in a specialist service with individuals experiencing complex emotional and relational difficulties. I have a particular interest in trauma and in supporting people to heal from the lasting impact of adverse experiences, helping them to move towards recovery and fulfil their potential. I am also passionate about improving access to services for marginalised populations.
As a Black British woman, I have experienced racism and developed both a personal and professional understanding of the harm that discrimination causes at individual and systemic levels. These experiences have informed my interest in working with people to explore the intersections of identity, power, and privilege, and to create space for healing from the pain of marginalisation.
Over time, my professional and personal journey has shaped how I view emotional distress. Rather than asking “what is wrong with you?”, I ask “what has happened to you?”. This shift allows me to see beyond presenting problems to the person behind the distress. It enables me to bring kindness and compassion into my work, with the aim of helping people heal from the difficulties rooted in their past.
My doctoral training in clinical psychology did not include education or qualifications in spirituality or spiritual practices. The spiritual gifts and abilities I hold are innate—they have been present within me since birth. My journey with spirituality began long before me, carried through the generations of women in my family. Many of them also possessed unique spiritual gifts, and each related to those gifts in different ways. Some were embraced and celebrated, while others were met with fear, resistance, or even shame.
Much like my own experiences with emotional distress, my spiritual path has been one of discovery, learning, and acceptance. Along this journey, I have come to see the boundless possibilities that open through true surrender—when we are able to face ourselves fully and meet every part of who we are with love, kindness, compassion, and acceptance. This includes not only the qualities that society celebrates but also the aspects of ourselves that are often overlooked, rejected, or silenced.
I believe that in a world capable of offering both profound beauty and deep suffering, my spiritual gifts and the lessons I have learned place me in a unique position to support others. As a guide and coach, I help people connect with their spiritual selves, embrace their wholeness, and move towards their fullest potential. My aim is to create the conditions that allow harmony between the physical and spiritual self, so people can live in alignment and balance.
