Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent nearly a decade working in the humanitarian and charity sector. This has included working in areas of refugee support, child protection, gender based violence, criminal justice and education. My career within the humanitarian sector has provided me with in-depth experience working with different communities and cultures from around the world.

Alongside setting up my private practice, I have worked with both short term and long term clients at Hestia, MIND and Children and Adult Therapy Services. I also designed and set up a free mental health service in North London (Islington and surrounding boroughs) for young men from minoritised communities. This has included running peer support groups and individual therapy sessions.

I have more than a decade of combined experience supporting individuals and groups through youth work, mentoring, teaching and therapy. I am currently in my final year of completing a MSc In Integrative Psychotherapy and registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) as a trainee psychotherapist and an individual member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
