Arick - MBACP
About the Therapist
I have worked with the ELOP charity in London and provided support within the LGBTQ+ service, and have lived experience of a cancer diagnosis and remission, attending boarding school, coming out and cultural conflict. You can trust that I will provide a safe and completely non-judgemental space for you.
Your first session is free of charge.
Our sessions will be guided by your thoughts, feelings, and experiences - at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re struggling with something specific or just feeling lost, you don’t have to face it alone.
What life has taught me
Through my own life experiences, I understand the ups and downs that come with life’s challenges, and I am here to navigate them with you.
Sometimes, simply talking to someone who truly listens and acknowledges what you’re going through can bring a sense of relief. Knowing that someone understands and empathises with your struggles can ease the weight you may be carrying. When life feels overwhelming, the world can seem isolating and daunting, but you do not have to face it alone. I am here to support you.
What to expect in our first sessions
Our initial sessions will be centred on you - where you are now, where you would like to be, and what may be standing in your way. My role is to support you in making sense of these challenges and, with patience and understanding, help you untangle them and find a way forward that feels more manageable and meaningful.
Your healing journey
You have the ability to find happiness and fulfilment, and this space is here for you to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. At times, you may find it helpful to see things from a different perspective, and I will support you in gently challenging your thoughts and feelings to help you gain clarity and understanding.
My experience and how I can help you
Growing up in a multicultural society and coming from a mixed heritage, I understand what it’s like to feel different or out of place.
That sense of being on the outside looking in can be challenging, and it can take time to make sense of those feelings.
I recognise how this can affect mental well-being, often leaving emotions unspoken and unresolved. It took me years to see that difference is not a weakness but a strength, and I want to offer you a space where we can explore that together.
Book a complimentary 15‑minute consultation via Zoom or phone to discuss how I can support you.

I offer our first session free of charge because I believe in 'try before you buy' and also it gives us a good opportunity to get to know each other and for you to ask me any questions you'd like about my practice, how I can help you and the issue(s) that you want to talk about with me.
