PARTNERSHIP COLLABORATIONS PORTFOLIO
I have had the privilege of working with many organisational giants and pioneers in the maternal and perinatal mental health space. This has given me a breadth of experience that transcends the therapy room , spans community psychology and works towards facilitataing social justice and change.
FiveXMore
In 2020 I first collaborated with 5xmore by sharing valuable information of maternal mental health via their instagram channel. In 2024 I also contributed to maternal education on postpartum depressions and bipolar in pregnancy on Fivexmore’s youtube channel. In January 2025 I spoke at the soft lauch event for FivexMore digital resource appabout perinatal mental health and how to look after your mental health both as a mum and health care professionals working with mums. Most recently I attended their APPG in March 2026 as a trauma informed wellbeing consultant on hand to debrief with the experts by experience who bravely shared their maternity experiences as part of the Baroness Amos review.
Over the course of 2021 to 2022 I also supported the work of Prosperty’s CIC previously run by FivexMore co-founder, to offer free individualised therapy, group emotional wellness sessions, and birth preparation and postnatal wellness planning support for black mums navigating giving birth and the transition into motherhood during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Motherhood Group
I have also participated in a number of the events for black maternal mental health week in 2023 and 2024 which is pioneered and coordinated by The Motherhood Group speaking on topics such as mental health stigma amongst black mothers, the need break cultural barriers in maternal health care, and my top 10 mental health tips for black mothers and HCPs supporting black mothers etc.

Maternal Mental Health Alliance
In 2026 I joined the MMHA’s list of perinatal psychological experts within The Parent Gap, their corporate offerings pathway to design a series of webinars including using a compassion focused therapy approach to support new parents, considering the psychological needs to ethnic minority mums returning to work, and cultivating a trauma informed workplace culture for employees that are parents. I have also recently joined their roster of carefully selected professional advocates to offer frontline perinatal mental health team expertise through my experience of working on the ground in the NHS and private practice.
Black Minds Matter
I have worked as therapist for Black Minds Matter since its inception in 2020. I have worked with clients experiencing a range of mood and perinatal mental health difficulties. On their 5 year celebration last year I had the privilege of speaking at a panel discussion of the impact of the work we make as black therapists for black clients highlighting the incredibly unique and important work that the organisation do to support the mental health of the black community.

I have also had the pleasure of supporting the work of The Motivational Mums Club. I have offered training to the therapists that work within the organisation. I also attended their pioneering peer support conference in November 2024 celebrating their work with black mums in particular. I attended as a panelist to discuss the existing service provision of perinatal mental health care for black and ethnic minority mums and what is needed to close the gaps and disparities in care to better serve this community of mothers.
