My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, and is also trauma-informed and CBT-informed, which enables me to respond thoughtfully to each person’s unique needs. I also offer a short-term, solution-focused approach where appropriate.
I have supported a wide range of clients on their personal journeys, including domestic abuse survivors, individuals experiencing anxiety, self-harm, relational challenges, gambling addiction, and those navigating psychosis, including hearing voices and hallucinations. I have also worked with cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones as they come to terms with and navigate the realities of a diagnosis.
My practice is grounded in the belief that every individual is unique, and that this uniqueness should be honoured and embraced in order for them to experience their highest potential or best self. I hold humanitarian values and believe every life matters, deserves dignity and that human suffering should be reduced wherever possible, regardless of age, gender, race, or religion. These values guide the way I work with clients. I am committed to creating a truly multicultural and inclusive space, and I work with individuals from diverse cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds. This makes cultural sensitivity, humility, and awareness central to my practice.
I am a practicing Christian and have experience providing counselling within a church setting, including working with young people through a church counselling service. I am also able to offer Christian counselling for those who would like to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process. Most of my work is however not faith-based and I welcome clients from all faiths and backgrounds.
Some of the organisations I have worked with include Macmillan Information and Support Service, Liverpool Domestic Abuse Service, The Elevation Church, and Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative.
Please note that this is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis immediately call your local emergency service such as NHS Mental Health Service on 111 or Nigeria's National Emergency Hotline on 112. Alternatively, visit the nearest Accident & Emergency department.
