Our team

Founder and Director of Soulwork & Co.

A neuro-spicy, mixed-race Northerner, world-renowned for unsolicited social justice analysis of any and every topic known to man.

My passion for liberatory concepts such as racial, healing and transformative justice is deep-rooted in my own lived/living experiences. This understanding of the power - and the pain - of working with this personal material is central to how I work with clients and communities.

Through personal activism and a long career in the charity sector, I’ve worked arm-in-arm with communities facing injustice to fight for change. I spent five years in the leadership team at a national youth charity, working with young people to co-produce policy and orgnanise collective action,

From here, I moved into the world of ‘Diversity and Inclusion’, where I witnessed how, so often, issues of inequality are removed from their historical and political roots in order to sanitise the work and fast-track the ticking of boxes. Meanwhile, the trauma of ancestral, present-day and pervasive oppression is ignored, and community-led movements for justice are written off as ‘too political’. 

Drawing from my political background, training in counselling skills - including decolonised approaches to therapeutic practice -and politicised somatics, I take an embodied approach to anti-oppression - recognising the role of the body, spirit, and political/social forces in how we imagine and build collective liberation.

I work with trusted partners and collaborators to bring each client the expertise needed.
