Wamkelekile- Welcome & thank you for being here. I am a Bantu woman who has spent the last 13 years walking alongside people from different walks of life and holding space for their healing journeys with compassion and curiosity. I believe in de-pathologizing and re-humanizing mental health, while seeing and valuing people in their authentic wholeness. Although my targeted people are: those who are racialized as Black, Indigenous peoples and all equity seeking humans who might be struggling with identity-based trauma, intergenerational trauma and/or racial trauma, I am open to working with all those who feel aligned with my values.

Even though I’ve successfully worked with children, youth, families & adult individuals with multifaceted mental health struggles, I am now focussed on collective liberation and radical healing, hence I welcome resilience informed workshop opportunities and I am also accepting social workers & psychotherapists for inclusive & equitable clinical supervision.

Being an inclusive and equitable workplace requires ongoing cultural humility that entails willingness to unlearn, relearn and continue healing. The private practice world can be so lonely, hence I am here to partner, bear witness & collaborate with you to offer employee wellness solutions and clinical supervision solutions. Let me be part of your village!
