Biography
I am an accredited consultant psychotherapist in private practice, an author, independent researcher, and an editorial adviser for The British Association for Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP) publication Therapy Today. I specialise in transgenerational trauma and my professional background extends into project management and developing innovative teenage parenting and family development psychosocial educational projects in the voluntary and public sectors.
In 1998 I was awarded a Fellowship to research preventive and supportive models for teenage parents in Europe and the USA.
My psychosocial performative research and writing is centred on the embodied experience of Black women of African ancestry, informed by autoethnographic practice, intersectionality and womanism. Through my research, I examine the interwoven strands of racialised embodiment and the tension of otherness in order to reveal other ways of knowing and knowledge production that challenges normative discourse.
