About Me

Hi, I’m Bongi.

I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist, and Registered Mental Health Nurse, with over 15 years’ experience supporting people across NHS and private settings.
 
I began as a mental health nurse working with children and adults, and qualified as a CBT psychotherapist in 2017. I later trained in EMDR. That background helps me stay calm, grounded, and practical — especially when people feel overwhelmed or stuck.
 
Therapy works best when we take time to understand you as a person: your experiences, your strengths, and what you want to change. My role is to offer a steady, non-judgemental space and evidence-based tools so you can reduce distress and move forward in a way that feels manageable.
 
What helps therapy work well?
A strong therapeutic relationship matters. I work collaboratively with you, at a pace that feels right, with guidance and support as you practise new ways of coping.
