About me
Online appointments only
Intimate relationships can sometimes be difficult and even painful, whether we are currently in one, have recently left one, or are alone and longing to be part of a couple.
I specialise in helping people with sexual and relationship issues as they affect both individuals and couples. Having qualified in Couples and Individual Psychotherapy as well as Pscyhosexual therapy with the world renowned Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships in London, I have specialised skills in counselling couples in distress, who have reached a crisis point in their relationship, who feel stuck, who are considering separating or are going through a separation, or who just want to make things better!
In addition to my work with clients, I am also qualified to provide supervision to other therapists, and work as Head of the Psychosexual Certificate course at Tavistock Relationships.
Going to counselling can be a daunting prospect, and even more so if you are considering coming as a couple. You may worry that the counsellor will take sides, that you will not be understood, or that your partner will misrepresent you. As a specially trained and experienced couples counsellor, I understand your concerns. You can be assured that I will be able to provide a supportive, neutral environment in which it becomes possible to think and communicate in ways you may find it difficult to do on your own at the moment. When it comes to sexual issues, I will make you feel comfortable talking about them, and provide you with information, advice, and homework as needed to make things better.
Whatever your sexual or relationship difficulities, you will find me a warm, supportive and insightful therapist who will gently challenge you to reach a deeper understanding of yourself, and support you as you take more responsibility for your happiness.
To get started
Please feel free to contact me through the contact form (using the Email button) on this website. I will always reply to your enquiry, so if you have not received an email after a few days, please check your Spam folder. After this, we can agree a mutually convenient time for a phone call to briefly discuss your current issues, and the help I can offer. If this seems like the right kind of support for you, we will arrange to meet face-to-face on zoom for an initial consultation session, after which you can decide whether to continue with regular sessions. Sessions will take place once a week or once a fortnight, and can go on for as short or as long a time as you need.
