Mixed-race identity therapy
(London + online)
A trauma-aware space to explore belonging, identity, and the parts of you that learned to adapt.
Being mixed / multi-heritage can be rich and expansive — and it can also be tiring. You may feel “in-between”, misread, or expected to translate yourself in rooms that don’t quite know where to place you.
Therapy can be a place where your identity isn’t simplified. We can make space for the complexity: family, culture, race, community, loss, pride, anger, love — and the quieter grief of not being fully seen.
You might be here if…
You feel split between cultures, families, or versions of yourself
You’re exhausted from code-switching or being “the bridge”
Race or culture was silenced, minimised, or weaponised in your family
You feel hyper-visible in some spaces and invisible in others
You struggle with belonging, self-trust, or “where do I fit?”
You carry shame, impostor feelings, or a sense of not being “enough” of anything
What we might explore
Identity fragmentation and “parts” that perform, protect, or disappear
The impact of being misread (and the cost of being palatable)
Internalised messages about race, culture, class, gender, or worth
Family dynamics, loyalty binds, and intergenerational stories
Nervous system responses shaped by chronic vigilance and adaptation
Reconnecting to self-definition — what you know to be true
How I work
I’m an integrative, transcultural, transpersonal psychotherapist.
That’s a lot of words, and I use them intentionally. They speak to the training I’ve received, the way I work, and the kind of complexity I can hold: the psychological, relational, cultural and spiritual dimensions of being human.
Our work is grounded, relational, and trauma-aware, with attention to mind, body, emotions, and relationship patterns. In mixed-race therapy, I’m especially attentive to how belonging, family narratives, culture, and race can shape the inner world — including the less visible dynamics many people carry: chronic self-monitoring, code-switching fatigue, shame, loyalty binds, the fear of being misread, and the pressure to be “palatable” or to translate yourself.
I also pay close attention to unconscious dynamics. The protective strategies you learned early on, the parts of you that manage, appease, disappear, or fight for legitimacy, and the ways old messages can get carried into present-day relationships. Where it supports your process, we may use imagery, symbolism, dream material, and gentle parts-work to help what has been unspeakable find language, meaning, and movement.
We go at a pace your nervous system can trust. Nothing is forced. The work unfolds with care.
