Email meAbout me
I offer counselling and sex therapy (psychosexual therapy) to couples and individuals. I am widely qualified so I can work in a way that suits you in my confidential counselling room separate from my house. I can help with issues such as:
- repetitive rows which seem to solve nothing
- inability to resolve issues
- feeling that as a couple you have drifted apart
- the discovery of an affair
- wanting to understand why a relationship went wrong for you
- anxiety and panic attacks
- depression
- bereavement
- loss of sexual desire or problems when having sex
- sexual addiction
- your partner is using pornography in a way that worries you
- the effects of sexual abuse
I also work with sex addicts and sex offenders.
I worked as a senior manager in three different organisations so I have extensive knowledge and understanding of work related issues.
I also offer supervision for individual and couple counselling, sex therapy and sex addiction. My approach is suited to a wide range of counselling styles including person-centred, psychodynamic and integrative.
