About me
You may be seeking help with challenges in your relationship, and/or issues with physical intimacy. With 16 years' experience in the psychotherapy field, I work with couples and individuals struggling with a wide range of difficulties. I also specialise in treating sexual difficulties and have undertaken advanced training in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy at the Tavistock Centre in London.
I work with all the major sexual dysfunctions including difficulties with desire, arousal/erection and/or orgasm/ejaculation; sexual pain (dyspareunia); vaginismus; sexual trauma, and life changes including menopause and pregnancy-related issues.
After a piece of work - which may be either short or longer term, clients often report improved sexual functioning, deeper intimacy and communication; as well as a sense of healing from past wounds.
If you would like to go ahead, we will spend several sessions gaining a thorough understanding of the factors contributing to the issues you bring. We will also seek to understand any underlying relationship difficulties which may need addressing. Treatment options can then be explored. It is possible to work individually, although often helpful and fruitful if your partner can attend as well.
What I Offer:
- Study and experience of a wide range of Therapeutic Approaches, both short and long-term. 16 years' experience.
- Interventions tailored to your specific challenges and needs.
- A warm, welcoming space of acceptance to explore and address any intimacy difficulties.
- I value and promote Inclusive Practice - welcoming those from LGBTQA communities, as well as those practicing consensual non-monogamy, or who may be exploring what sexuality means to them.
- I use a collaborative approach, with interventions grounded in a solid evidence base.
- Face-to-face and remote sessions are available, or a combination of the two to suit your needs.
If you would like to get in contact to set up an Initial Consultation to explore the possibility of working together I look forward to hearing from you via email.
