I am a compassionate Social Worker and Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who has been practicing since 2016. Over the years, I have recognized the stigma and systemic barriers that members of the Black community face when opening up about their mental health. Many encounter challenges in speaking with vulnerability due to generational patterns of silence, survival, and resilience. While these patterns have been protective, they can also make it harder to seek support and share openly—reinforcing stigma and leaving important needs unmet.
In response, I launched Ignite Counselling Services to provide dedicated, culturally responsive, and non-judgmental support.
