Derek
I am an accredited psychotherapist, I hold the position of Clinical Manager for a London Local Authority. I have over 10 years’ experience working in youth work, children’s social care, adult mental health, child and adolescent mental health, schools and youth offending teams. I have a passion for social activism and increasing representation in literature and academic work from those in minorities and am currently in my final year of doctoral studies (PhD) looking at the co-construction of professional identity for therapists from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds. I also run a private practice working with a range of clients requiring therapeutic and coaching support.
Our approach:
We have found that because we are from ethnic minority backgrounds we have been able to connect, engage and work with different people from a variety of communities who might not otherwise access similar services. The services we provide are mental health support (therapy), life & professional coaching sessions; by creating a safe space to talk, which starts from where the person/organisation is at and builds from there.
Black Lives Matter:
We have been committed as individuals and as HDX Consultancy to stand up for social justice issues within our day to day work for many years. This has taken many different shapes and forms and are able to offer support for organisations based on their individual requirements. We are committed to anti-racist practice and are in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter in pushing for societal, structural and systemic change.
