About me
Breaking free from Compulsive Sexual Behaviours and reclaiming your life can be hard and feel overwhelming.
You may find yourself trapped in a cycle of shame, guilt, secrecy, broken promises and desperately wanting to stop but feeling unable to regain control. What may have started as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, boredom, or emotional pain can gradually become a pattern that impacts every area of your life your relationships, self-esteem, mental health, career and overall wellbeing.
You don't have to face this alone.
I provide a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to understand the underlying reasons behind compulsive sexual behaviours. Whether you are struggling with pornography use, problematic online sexual activity, infidelity, anonymous sexual encounters, or other compulsive sexual behaviours, therapy offers an opportunity to move beyond simply managing symptoms and towards genuine long lasting recovery.
Recovery is not simply about stopping a behaviour. It is about healing the wounds beneath the addiction, addressing the unmet emotional needs that fuel it, rebuilding self-worth, and creating a life that feels meaningful, connected, and authentic.
Our work may include exploring:
Childhood trauma and emotional neglect
Shame, guilt and self-criticism
Relationship difficulties and attachment patterns
People-pleasing and conflict avoidance
Healthy boundaries
Emotional regulation and resilience
Anxiety, depression, loneliness, and stress
Identity, purpose, and self-worth
Professional Expertise Combined with Lived Experience
My work is shaped by both professional training and personal experience.
For 30 years, I lived with compulsive sexual behaviours before finding lasting recovery. Having now maintained my own recovery for the past five years, I understand the fear, shame, isolation and hopelessness that so many people experience. I also understand that recovery is possible because I have lived it myself.
Alongside my personal journey, I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, Sex Addiction Therapist and Meditation Teacher. This combination of professional knowledge and lived experience allows me to offer practical guidance alongside genuine empathy and understanding.
I have supported hundreds of men and women, both online and in person, to overcome compulsive pornography use, chat services, webcams, escorts, and other compulsive sexual behaviours.
Rather than focusing solely on stopping unwanted behaviours, my aim is to help you understand why they developed in the first place because lasting recovery comes from healing the underlying causes.
I also work with couples experiencing betrayal or discovering partners sex addiction. Cheating, affairs both emotional and physical. Partners caught visiting sex workers, webcam sites and chat masterbation sites.
Drawing from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, our work may include:
Inner Child Healing
Breathwork and nervous system regulation
Mindfulness and meditation
Challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs
Building healthy self-esteem and self-worth
Developing emotional awareness and regulation
Healthy boundary setting
Breaking people-pleasing patterns
Reducing shame and cultivating self-compassion
Understanding how compulsive pornography use affects the brain, emotions, and relationships
Developing healthy sexuality and where appropriate, guidance around healthy masturbation as part of recovery.
Together, we will work to break free from the patterns that have kept you stuck, strengthen your emotional wellbeing, improve your relationships, and build a life that aligns with your values.
"Recovery isn't about becoming someone new. It's about rediscovering the person you were before shame convinced you otherwise."
