Hey. I’m Dezrika Ramsey, founder, therapist and community facilitator. Figuring Forward Therapy and Support brings together both sides of being and healing as an individual and in community, offering one to one individual therapy as well as creating shared spaces for healing, figuring out and accountability.

Life can be really really hard sometimes. My interest in psychology started through my own need for support and to make sense of what I of all that I was feeling and experiencing.  Therapy felt unique in actually being safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I’m a integrative trained psychotherapist. which means I pull from various therapeutic approaches,  combining psychodynamic, person-centred, and CBT techniques. I offer general psychotherapy though specialise in helping individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps in life. Someone on your team, helping to understand more about what is going on for you and encourage you in making meaningful change. 

I have experience within the NHS, student and accessible community counselling services and almost a decade worth of experience working in community building, pastoral care, and mental wellbeing support. I have supported a diverse group of individuals in different sectors, such as education, loss, social mobility, and student wellbeing, where I developed and led programmes, facilitated workshops, and provided advocacy services. Recognising the links between mental wellbeing and wider social and societal context.
