My Approach

Clients often tell me they want a therapist who will both listen and have something to say. I believe that a good connection and two-way communication is essential in order for therapy to be successful. My therapeutic approach is all about helping you do the work to overcome the obstacles that hinder you in your life. 

 

I help clients with challenges around relationships, sexuality, and problematic sexual behaviours including compulsive sexual behaviour (often referred to as sex or porn addiction).  I offer a supportive space to explore issues, such as betrayals, mismatched desire or enhancing erotic intimacy. I can help to find ways to listen, share and restore connection.

 

I also address specific concerns such as disappointing/unpredictable erections (commonly known as erectile dysfunction), low sexual desire, premature ejaculation, delayed or absent ejaculation (anorgasmia) and problematic porn use.

​

I am polyamory-informed and friendly.  I know this is something both individuals and intimate partners might be curious about and want to explore.  This may be part of a client's life, though it is often not the main reason they come to therapy, and sometimes it is.

 

I am moved by bell hooks’ reflection that being queer can mean the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live. To me, that captures something deeply human. Most of us, at some point, find ourselves living a life that doesn’t quite fit the expectations around us. In that sense, many of us might be a little bit queer, called to imagine new ways of loving, connecting, and belonging.

​

My approach offers a respectful and sex-positive environment to explore challenging issues and I work at your pace. I use a variety of approaches, depending on what works best for you.

About

About Me

I know that living out of alignment with your values can be difficult and painful.  I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore what is true for you.

 

I help clients find their voice: What do I want?  Am I able to let my partner know?  And how do I deal with my partner’s reactions?  

 

I am a sex and relationship therapist and have been awarded the Diploma in Clinical Sexology (psychosexual therapy) and the Diploma in Compulsive Sexual Behaviour, both from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology.

 

These Diploma courses are accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), meaning they meet the stringent requirements of the UK’s accrediting body for sexual and relationship therapists.

 

I am a registered member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists.​​
