- Gender identity
- Coming out
- Transgender issues
- Historical rape
- Sexual trauma
- Trauma from illnesses (cancer, ulcerative colitis) affecting sexuality.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is based on the integrative homeodynamic model which is a humanistic model of psychosexual therapy. It’s a model based on sexual health rather than a focus on sexual dysfunction.
It integrates current thinking across multi-disciplinary fields, including psychotherapy, systemic therapy, neuroscience, cognitive-behavioural therapy, complementary therapies, and traditional Eastern and Western sexual and relationship theory.
The homeodynamic model for sexuality is sex positive; it promotes the pleasure principle and challenges sexual shame. I explore all dynamics of mind, body, brain and emotions, individually and in depth, with a focus on sexuality and general emotional wellbeing.
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.
