Episode 2. Nasalifya Namwinga on creating safety

Nasalifya Namwinga (she/her) is a clinical psychologist and co-founder of Pola Practice in Ascot Vale in Naarm (Melbourne) in 2018, on the lands of the Wurundjeri people. Nasalifya is a Zambian woman who was raised in the UK and Aotorea/New Zealand before settling in Naarm. Pola Practice focused on culturally responsive and intersectional practice. Nasalifya provides consultation with a specialisation in culturally responsive mental health service delivery, executive coaching from an intersectional perspective and is pursuing a PhD professional burnout and the role of emerging technology. Anita was lucky enough to chat with Nasalifya about her experiences of studying and practicing psychology, what helps practitioners who are people of colour, and how our profession can better serve people who have experiences of marginalisation.
