Candy Bokungu

Hi, I’m Candy. I’m an integrative therapist based in London, working with clients across the UK and internationally. I use a blend of person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, tailoring therapy to the uniqueness of each individual I work with. My life has shaped the therapist I am today. I know what it’s like to feel different, what it means to be an immigrant, to face discrimination, to navigate the world as a minority. These experiences, along with my background in fashion and the arts, have given me a deep appreciation for difference, identity, and the richness of human experience. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the fashion world, a vibrant, fast-paced environment filled with beauty and diversity. I met people across gender, sexual orientation, culture, and class, each profoundly different, yet deeply human. It was inspiring, but also challenging. I often felt pressured, anxious, and unsure of myself. That complexity stays with me. It helps me understand the pressure you might feel to hold it all together, to belong, or to prove yourself. I believe you already hold the answers you're looking for. My role is to walk alongside you, to help you listen to yourself more clearly, understand yourself more fully, and make empowered choices that feel right for you.
