Many people hesitate before reaching out for therapy because they’re unsure whether they’ll be understood — or worse, whether their experiences will be judged, minimised, or treated as something “wrong” with them. This is especially true for people who’ve lived with structural discrimination, marginalisation, or social exclusion. If that’s part of your story, I want you to know that you’re welcome here.

My work is shaped by an understanding that none of us exist in a vacuum. Our struggles don’t come from nowhere — they’re influenced by family history, culture, class, race, sexuality, gender, health, ability, and the wider social world we’ve grown up in. I’m not interested in pathologising people for adapting to difficult environments, nor in reducing complex lives to labels or diagnoses.

Some topics can feel “too much”, “too strange”, or “too complicated” to bring into therapy. My approach is simple: if it matters to you, it belongs in the room. You don’t need to edit yourself, explain yourself, or fit into a particular way of being. If you’re unsure whether something is okay to talk about, you’re always welcome to ask — openness and curiosity are part of the work.

Therapy with me is about making space for the whole of you, not just the parts that feel acceptable.
