ABOUT ME

I am a BACP Accredited Embodied-Relational Integrative Therapist, Facilitator, Space Holder and Founder of Our Naked Truths and the Black Women's Therapy Fund. My invitation is to create a space where you are liberated from trauma, shame and loneliness. Making more room for compassion, courage, communion and healing.

I offer space to hold your experiences related to early life, behaviours, feelings, and the emotions influencing your current actions with compassion and acceptance. This is a nonjudgmental space to explore, grow, and gain clarity as you connect with the world and the energy around you.

My work covers a wide range of experiences, including race, identity, trauma inc, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, isolation, and the difficult dynamics that can form within families and relationships. I have significant experience working with adults 1:1 and in groups who have suffered childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, intergenerational trauma, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, sex trafficking and exploitation, chronic health conditions, disabilities and complex trauma.

Drawing from my training and life experiences, I facilitate a co-created environment that honours all that you are, moving toward healing and peace. I aim to help you strengthen your sense of self and develop trust in your resilience and autonomy.

All that you are is welcome here.

testimonials

  • Yaa has been amazing at helping me see things from new perspectives. She creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel heard and understood. Her support has given me the confidence to tackle my challenges and she’s been great in helping me sort through my issues. I am really grateful for her guidance!

  • Yaa was amazing. As a facilitator myself I rarely get the chance to sit back and be guided through a creative process. I was able to creatively work through some blocks I had experienced for a while and get energised about new possibilities for my creative practice. I loved that we were able to tap into different senses, from visual arts to using smells and guided meditations. I was also able to take away grounding tools and ways to care for myself.

  • Yaa you have taught me that I don't have to be alone. It has been like sitting with a friend who helps me see my experiences differently. She understands me, she has helped me love and understand myself. Thank you Yaa. Thank you.
