Why Personal Therapy Matters for Professionals :
As mental health professionals, we spend much of our time holding space for others: listening deeply, supporting resilience, and guiding clients through their struggles. Yet, even the most experienced practitioner needs a safe space of their own.
Personal therapy is not just about self-care.
It is also an essential part of professional development, helping professionals reflect on their own inner world and emotions, maintain ethical awareness and professional boundaries, and preventing emotional fatigues from your practice.
Many professional bodies (BACP, HCPC, UKCP, APA) recommend or require personal therapy during training. There is a growing recognition among practitioners of the value of continuing therapy throughout their careers to maintain both personal wellbeing and professional effectiveness.
All sessions are held online, offering flexibility across time zones and family locations.
How My Therapy for Professionals Works
I provide confidential, culturally responsive therapy designed specifically for those working in mental health and related professions.
A safe, reflective space
free from professional judgement, where you can bring your personal challenges as well as your professional stresses.
Flexible online delivery
sessions fit around your schedule, wherever you are based.
Depth and growth
therapy is not only about coping, but also about exploring identity, meaning, and long-term fulfilment.
Attuned to professional realities
I understand the ethical, organisational, and relational pressures that come with being “the professional” in the room.
Choose a Culturally Attuned Psychologist :
What makes my approach different?
I understand the unique challenges facing today's mental health professionals, from managing cultural expectations while training in expertise-led therapeutic models, to feeling like you're constantly code-switching between different versions of yourself. Having lived and practiced across cultures myself, I know what it's like to question where you fit and how your various identities show up in your professional work.
I offer more than traditional therapy.
As someone who has personally experienced therapy's transformative impact throughout my career, particularly in understanding my evolving identities and building emotional resilience. I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to our work together.
In our sessions, you'll find:
A safe space to explore all aspects of who you are: your ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, and values, and how these intersect to influence both your personal wellbeing and professional effectiveness. You won't need to explain cultural nuances or feel like you're educating your therapist.
