About Me

Hi, my name is Bongi.

My work and experience has ranged from working with adults, children and adolescents with complex mental health difficulties in secondary and inpatient mental health services as part of a multidisciplinary team, and as an independent practitioner in primary care services and offering digital therapy.

My training and experience working with people has helped me to understand and work with people struggling with psychological difficulties in order to support them with their healing and recovery. I am passionate about working with young people because early intervention can greatly improve the chances of good mental health into their adulthood.

I am also passionate about working with adults because it is never too late for the mind to heal from past and current experiences affecting your mental wellbeing. My goal as a therapist is to work with people to reclaim control of their own perceptions and emotions in order to thrive and live a fulfilling life.

Alongside private practice, I am in partnership with other organisations where we facilitate and deliver emotional well-being workshops to help increase peoples understanding of mental health, recognise signs and symptoms, and build a toolbox to look after their own mental health.

I undertake continuing professional development regularly and receive regular supervision for each modality I currently use in my practice.

Interests and Activities
When I am not working, I am usually spending time with my family and friends. Watching reality TV curled up on the sofa is my guilty pleasure when I am at home, but I do like to visit new places whether it’s in the UK or abroad. I have recently set myself personal fitness goals which has been great for my own mental health and discovering my potential with things I previously thought were impossible for me to achieve.
