About
Most people experience scalp issues. But it’s okay, we are here to help. Our community provides free counselling by giving awareness and management of wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle. We focus on:
-
Educating and enlightening cancer patients on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We encourage our patients to face their fears and recognise that recovery is an ongoing healing journey
-
Diagnosing our patients with scalp and hair conditions, making recommendations, and drawing up a plan they can follow
-
Creating an environment that builds a support system for cancer patients and provides advice about how others coped with changes in their hair appearances. We offer counselling and advice to help tackle hair loss problem
-
Providing coping strategies through teachings, coaching, mentoring classes, workshops to minimise the frustration and anxiety associated with hair loss
-
Ensuring counselling services are available and accessible to cancer patients suffering with hair loss, which will then reduce the demand that cannot be met by the NHS.
"If my hair looks good, I can do ANYTHING..."
Who We Are
Meet Founder & Trichologist Belinda Asafo-Agyei & NHS worker Lesley Ann Porteus. Belinda Qualified through TrichoCare Education, Member of the Association of Registered Trichologists & Qualified hair professional for 20+ years.
​
Cosmetic trauma to the hair, scalp conditions and hair loss have been my passion. It was always my goal to help as many people in my community with these on-going issues they face. I strongly believe that taking a holistic approach for both the diagnosis and treatments, will certainly lead you in the right direction.
Being a qualified hair professional for 20 year has taught me alot. I’ve been very lucky to meet some amazing people with great hair! I have a great understanding with the structure of peoples skin and hair, both from a Hair’s Practitioner’s angle and a Trichologist’s angle.
All my experiences throughout the years has enabled me to be able to examine and treat all hair types (straight, wavy, curly, afro). I can proudly say that my Hair Loss Clinic is right here in London and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Our Mission
We will host weekly virtual and in-person sessions. In these sessions we will provide information and opportunities for learning about how cancer patients can prevent and manage hair loss. We will provide natural hair growth solutions, well-being oriented services and activities to the Black, Mixed-heritage, Asian and European Communities. Lastly, we also provide counselling and advice regarding tackling hair loss.
Benefits to The Community
The community will benefit by the activities we set out to do to support our aims. We are always looking to collaborate with other professionals where appropriate which will:
-
Enable cancer patients who suffer from hair loss to develop meaningful and satisfying lives, with increased opportunities for participation in the community
-
Promote joined-up progressive care pathways, providing recovery learning courses that reduce experience of stigma and discrimination. Signposting to professionals who can help specific issues will include:
-
Valuing personal stories and recovery strategies, the views and stories of black people with experience of hair loss
-
Support development of self-help skills that support natural hair growth
-
Creating a welcoming, friendly and respectful atmosphere
-
Massage and pampering therapies: During the program, patients will be taught how to do some therapeutic activities that will take their mind off their diagnosis. We will teach behavioural health strategies such such relaxation techniques, deep breathing & meditation.
