About me
I'm Dan, a psychosexual and relationships therapist and person-centred counsellor, registered with COSRT and the BACP. I specialise in sexual concerns, relationships counselling and identity-focused work, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and those in polyamorous, ENM or kink-positive relationships and communities.
My work is rooted in anti-oppressive practice, which means actively working to understand how power, identity and systemic inequality shape the experiences people bring to therapy.
I work with individuals, couples and polycules on a wide range of concerns, including identity exploration, sexual anxiety, low or mismatched desire, vaginismus, erectile difficulties, sexual shame, intimacy difficulties, and the impact of trauma on sexuality and relationships. I also work extensively with those navigating non-monogamous or ENM relationships, and with clients from kink and BDSM communities.
My practice is sex-positive and kink-aware — whatever your identity, sexuality or relationship structure, you will not be judged or pathologised here.
As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I bring both specialist clinical training and lived understanding to this work. My approach is person-centred and pluralistic — warm, direct, and collaborative.
I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation — a no-obligation conversation to see whether we might be a good fit before you commit to anything.
Training, qualifications & experience
Level 7 Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology, Keele University
Diploma in Clinical Sexology, CICS (Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology)
I am a fully qualified and experienced psychosexual & relationships therapist, and person-centred counsellor.
I have extensive experience working with adults and young people who have experienced sexual violence, and also work with young people who are experiencing/have experience grief and loss.
I have worked with schools delivering RSE (relationships & sex education) and working with children and young people form a range of backgrounds including those at risk of exploitation and those who display inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviours.
Alongside therapy I can also offer practical support, consultancy and education around these topics when working with young people and families.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
COSRT is the UK’s leading membership organisation for therapists specialising in sexual and relationship issues.
All members must abide by their Code of Ethics and the performance of accredited members is regularly monitored.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
