I was born in small university town called Enugu, situated in the south eastern region of Nigeria, to a German mother and a Nigerian father. Following my childhood in Enugu, I spent my adolescent years in Berlin Germany and now live in London. My exposure to three different countries has enriched me as a person and allowed me to understand and embrace two divergent cultures that are my heritage.
My journey inspired me to work as a school counsellor in an inner city London Secondary school for the past eight years and train to qualify as a UKCP registered psychotherapist.
My interest in writing was ignited by a good friend, who introduced me to Helium. Needless to say, I am learning so much about myself through writing and sharing my thoughts and acquired knowledge through academic research and my personal work experience.
My passion is ...
Writing, reading, painting and understanding the human condition.
My childhood ambition ...
To become a psychotherapist like Milton Ericksson!
My favorite memory ...
Jumping off sand hills overlooking the Ekulu river in Enugu (Nigeria)
Why I write ...
To share my thoughts and improve my writing skills.
My inspiration ...
My mother and the wealth of knowledge she continuously passes on to me through her passion for philosophy, psychology, the arts etc.
