Clinical psychology beyond the therapy room
Clinical work happens one session at a time, in one room. But mental health, distress, and recovery are shaped by much wider contexts: community, culture, identity, and the conversations people are or are not able to have.
Some of the most important work I do happens outside the therapy room, through workshops, panels, broadcasts, consultation, and conversations with people shaping culture and community.
This page brings together some of that wider work: previous projects, upcoming conversations, and opportunities for future collaboration.
Creative Consultancy
Provided consultancy for film and theatre projects exploring Black British experiences of mental health and distress.
This work brought a clinical psychology perspective to how recovery, systems, and lived experience are represented on screen and stage.
Unity FM (Upcoming)
Joining a Unity FM panel discussion exploring how NHS talking therapies can become more accessible and usable for Black men.
The conversation focuses on the practical, structural, and cultural shifts needed for services to genuinely reach the communities they are intended to support.
Step Now: The Barbershop Experience
Delivered interactive CBT and ACT workshops for secondary school pupils across South London as part of Step Now's Barbershop Experience.
The sessions focused on practical mental health tools tailored to the lived experiences of young Black boys, combining evidence-based approaches with conversations grounded in the realities young people were navigating day to day.
Beyond Academia Stakeholder Event
Through the Lens of Ladi’s Story’: Presented findings from my doctoral research exploring how Black British communities make sense of and respond to mental distress.
Beyond Academia brings academic research into conversation with the communities it most affects, creating space for research to move beyond publication and into practical, community-facing dialogue.
What we’re open to next
If you're putting together an event, programme, broadcast, or project that touches mental health and would benefit from a clinical psychology perspective, we welcome conversations around future collaborations.
I'm currently open to invitations for:
Particular interest in work focused on improving access to psychological care for communities historically underserved by mainstream services.
Reliable routes rarely run in a straight line
Therapy isn't always a tidy path — it winds, doubles back, and finds its shape as you go. The free, no-obligation 20-minute call is a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how we work, and decide together whether we're a good fit.
