About

Daya Pomphrey - who am I?

I’m a therapist, artist, and Women’s Circle host based in Watford, and a member of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network.

Sankofa Therapy was born from my personal journey of reclaiming my Chinese and Jamaican heritage and healing the shame that had silenced parts of my identity. It’s a space for those navigating self-esteem, identity, racism, and the lasting effects of trauma. I offer compassion, warmth, and a deep commitment to understanding who you are—without judgment.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and the impact of racism, with a particular focus on childhood trauma and cultural identity. I'm passionate about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, so you can live more fully and freely.

My approach to Therapy

Rumi,

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

MY MOOD

I take an intuitively creative and empathetic approach to therapy, creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. By listening with openness and compassion, I help you uncover what words alone may not reach, offering warmth and understanding to guide you through your healing journey. My goal is to help you feel truly heard, supported, and safe as you discover new ways to understand and express yourself.

CREATIVE TOOLS

As a creative therapist, I go beyond traditional talking therapy, using tools like visualisations, mythical stories, drawings, and movement to help you connect with your inner world. If words are hard to find, I’ll guide you through these methods to express what’s difficult to say. These experiences can offer deep insights, whether through a powerful visualisation, a resonant myth, or the emotions that arise from movement. It’s all about finding meaningful, soulful connections to support your healing journey.
