Ru (Miss Understood)

Founder & Counsellor

With British-Zimbabwean roots, and as a fellow Melburnian, I’ve come to know and understand how complex so many of the experiences are for those in the diaspora — and how underrepresented we still are in receiving mental health care that truly understands us, addresses the full scope of our collective traumas and challenges, nurturing our baseline humanity.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist, counsellor and, most importantly, a fellow caring human being in this world.

My mission is to provide authentic, holistic, integrity-based counselling support to those navigating marginalised experiences — from someone who knows them very intimately, firsthand.

Whether you need somebody to talk to, or support navigating your past or present experiences, I’m here to meet you with compassion, sensitivity, where you are at and always aim to provide you with a safe space!

One that supports you in understanding yourself, your story, and how to draw nearer to your well-deserved peace and joy — so let us do this together! 😊
