July 2024
Here is a little overview of all the things going on this month.
Private Practice
I have opened my private practice again and I will be offering Psychodynamic Counselling and EMDR Psychotherapy. I have 2 spots that are available at a lower cost for Queer Black people and I also am offering a discounted rate to Sex Workers.
My availability is quite open at the moment but I only have spots for 8 clients total so please feel free to get in touch with me and we can arrange a first meeting
Collaboration with Hydra eV
I am collaborating with Hydra eV an organization in Berlin that provides support to Sex Workers. This includes, Mental Health and sexual health Support but it is also a general community hub where people can connect, share knowledge, resources and advice and build community. I will be providing crisis counselling to those in need throughout the rest of the year. This support is short term up to 10 virtual sessions of counselling where we can explore what is happening, practice tools to stabilize and plan next steps together. This is not a replacement for longer term therapy, but it is a useful resource for those in immediate need. Hydra works with all Sex Workers, but this program is specifically for those who are Black and Queer. You can reach hydra directly and request to work with me at Akutetraumahilfe at hydra-berlin.de
There are also other Therapists working with the program so you have options to see who resonates most with you. Please share this offering with someone that you know who could benefit.
Collaboration with EOTO
Each One Teach One is an organisation based in Berlin that aims to build and support Black Community in a variety of ways. I have worked with them in the past and always enjoyed being able to come together with other Black people with the focus being building community and supporting our mental health and wellness.
This month I am working with them on two events.
One Is a relationship peer support group for Black and Queer people. This group is a safer and welcoming space for those who seek to discuss, share, and learn about the unique experiences of navigating relationships as Black and Queer people dating in Berlin. We will share, learn and explore not only relationships with others, but also our relationships with ourselves.

The other is A yoga series with a focus on Black Healing & Wellness. This is a beginner-friendly, three-part yoga series specifically designed to support Black mental health and well-being. This series aims to create a nurturing space where you can connect with your inner self, enhance your physical and mental health, and learn holistic practices for caring for both your individual and community well-being. In the first session we will focus on Grounding and self connection. We will start off with grounding techniques that connect you to your body and breath. And introduce foundational yoga poses and mindfulness practices to help you center yourself and build a solid base for mental and emotional stability. The first session is on July 25th and will be Thursday afternoons the following 2 weeks. I hope to see you there!

Social Media
I am doing my best to stay engaged with social media and use this as a space to share more about what I have learned about EMDR and working with trauma, mental health in general and also aspects of yoga. These things have all positively influence my life and I hope to share them with you so that you can experience those benefits as well. I am on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
Hope to connect with you somewhere soon!
