About me
At stages of our lives, most of us, if not all, experience personal losses and difficulties. It is quite normal to struggle with such issues and to need some help with these.
I help individuals help themselves who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. Men who are addicted to porn and might be using it as a coping mechanism against negative emotions. The client issues I work with include porn addiction, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, grief and loss, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, and fear of rejection. Family fallouts, relationship issues, break-ups, betrayal, open relationships and loneliness.
I am a qualified, experienced Integrative Counsellor, Sex/Porn Addiction Therapist and Meditation Teacher using these modalities in a pluralistic way.
Some of the difficulties I work with include Avoidant attachment styles, borderline personality disorder, fear of conflict, fear of abandonment and fear of engulfment. ADHD, family scapegoating, abusive relationships and domestic violence.
Experienced working with sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, co-dependency, people pleasing, grief & loss, bereavement, relationship breakdowns, conflict, family systems, betrayal, anxiety, depression, rage, difficulties setting boundaries, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling, sex and porn addiction, compulsion. Low self-esteem, narcissism and co-dependency, domestic abuse and bullying.
I have successfully helped couples in the areas of betrayal, fear of conflict, lack of intimacy and trust issues like jealousy. Partners’ porn use, partner visiting sex workers. Swinging, revenge porn, webcams, open relationships, sugar babes and sugar daddies. Open relationships, poly relationships, Bi-sexual and gay relationships.
What makes me Different to other counsellors?
I have a high success rate with helping men overcome porn/sex addiction having lived experience in this field. I offer a deep, compassionate understanding of the presence of others’ feelings and emotions as I know what it’s like to struggle with addiction and mental health issues. My way of being is professional, ethical, non-judgemental, empathic, supportive. I hold space for clients to express themselves fully, to be seen and fully heard.
I am very passionate about this work and love what I do. I provide safety for clients, helping them understand compulsive behaviour, triggers, attachment, trauma, negative emotions, feelings, family systems, childhood abuse and neglect.
Help for individuals struggling with Sex Compulsion:
Maybe you are here because you have found the courage to seek help and are ready to make some changes.
Maybe you didn’t know you had a problem till you’ve been caught, or it’s no longer serving you.
Or maybe it is preventing you from getting into or maintaining a healthy relationship with others due to shame?
How can I support you?
I provide a compassionate space to start exploring how you got here and how you can change, how the brain craves dopamine and its function with addiction.
Helping you to understand what sex compulsion and porn addiction looks like and how sometimes we use it to avoid negative emotions and feelings. Sometimes, looking for a connection due to loneliness or isolation.
Helping to rebuild trust in your relationship and provide you with ways of communicating safely and honestly with boundaries.
I currently work with diverse clients from different age groups, backgrounds and cultures. I support couples dealing with betrayal, lack of intimacy, lack of sex and want to resolve their relationship/marriage issues.
I am a fully registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. COSRT and ATSAC.
