Audrey completed an MA in Cultural Memory in 2002. The course raised her awareness of trans-generational trauma in descendants of enslaved Africans who had suffered the onslaughts of the transatlantic chattel slave industry. This narrative remained largely silenced in the UK until the 2007 Commemoration of the ‘1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade.’ Consequently, Audrey addressed post-trauma in her psychotherapy practice. A Jamaican Londoner of ‘Windrush’ heritage, Audrey also confronts issues of racism and post-imperialism within the framework of Psychohistoriography, a method introduced by Jamaican Psychiatrist Professor Frederick Hickling. Audrey also embeds ‘Capacitar Healing and Transformation’ in her work - a therapeutic method that uses the body’s ability to self-heal through voice, movement, tapping and other visceral practices.

A member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Union (PCU), Audrey was an active committee member for three years up to 2022, where she addressed topics affecting therapists including ‘race and difference.’

After her first degree in Iberian and Latin American Studies, Audrey qualified as a PGCE modern languages teacher in 1981. She is a champion of the Jamaican language and a recognised visual artist and writer, you can view some of her work here. Audrey has broad experience as an agent for personal progress and community empowerment within the third sector, particularly regarding marginalised groups. She has negotiated as intermediary with government and other agencies since 1985. Audrey includes organisation development, training, consultancy, and life coaching in her portfolio. 

Audrey recently moved from London to North Wales, to deepen the application of creativity in her work, and offer a space for others to do so.

Audrey continues to see a range of clients in her private practice and organisational settings, enabling them to address their mental health and wellbeing needs. Individuals include adolescents and adults within diverse cultures.
