About me

I am a very experienced, accredited psychotherapist, couples counsellor and sex therapist working online with clients from all across the UK and further afield. General issues I work with include anxiety, panic, depression, anger, grief, family issues, low self-esteem and many more.

However, in addition, I have a high level of special training and expertise in Relationship and Psychosexual Therapy.  Gender and sexual diversity clients are very welcome, as are those in open or polyamorous relationships.

In relationship therapy I regularly work with communication problems, arguments / conflict, affairs, sexual compulsivity, and sexual difficulties of all kinds. I also work with couples who are considering separation or divorce, and want help to work things out as amicably as possible for themselves / their children.

Most people refer themselves to me through Counselling Directory.  In addition I am often recommended by former clients and I also receive referrals from GP's and other health professionals.

Training, qualifications & experience

2001: Advanced Diploma in Humanistic-Integrative Counselling

2003: Post-graduate Diploma in the Theory and Practice of Psychotherapy for Sexual Dysfunction

I was a Principal Tutor on the Diploma in Humanistic-Integrative Counselling at CPPD Counselling School in North London for over 10 years, and still Guest Tutor there.

In addition to more than 25 years in private practice, I have also worked as a therapist at an inner city young people's agency, an NHS Sex Therapy Clinic and at a maximum-security prison.

I work online, so your location doesn't matter. Online therapy works really well! It saves you travelling time, and reduces accessibility issues. You just need a safe, private space and access to an online platform via phone/PC, with video & microphone.
