About me

The majority of my clients are LGBTQ+ but I work with straight people too. I help clients who are interested in opening up their relationship, or who have experienced problems or want support with consensual non-monogamy. I see a lot of people who are questioning their sexuality or gender and have worked with many trans clients at all stages of their journey. I also work with kinky people and those who are interested in learning more about their kinks. I have plenty of experience working with D/s relationships, Total Power Exchange (TPE), 24/7, BDSM, furries, breeding kinks, cross-dressing, pet play, age play, play parties, and all sorts of other kinks and fetishes.
As a qualified Clinical Sexologist I see clients with issues around sex, including erection problems, premature/early ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, low desire, mismatched sexual desire, pain and penetration problems, compulsive sexual behaviour (sometimes called "sex addiction" or "porn addiction"), and orgasm problems. I also deal with regular everyday issues that most therapists work with, such as depression, anxiety, and bereavement, and am trauma-informed, with EMDR as my preferred treatment approach.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
COSRT is the UK’s leading membership organisation for therapists specialising in sexual and relationship issues.
All members must abide by their Code of Ethics and the performance of accredited members is regularly monitored.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
