About us

My name is Jocelyn, my pronouns are She/Her and I am a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with a focus on trans, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships, including kink, fetish and BDSM.

I work exclusively online with individuals and intimate partners, offering sex and relationship therapy for both monogamous and non-monogamous structures. I also work with clients who are gender, sexuality, and relationally diverse (GSRD) and want to work with a therapist who is affirming of their identities and relationship practices.

A confidential and safe space is vital to the therapy I offer. Therapy can be a vulnerable experience and it is important that you feel that you can be authentic in that space to discuss yourself, your life, the relationships you hold and how they impact on one another.

I work in a neurodivergent affirming way, meaning that whatever you may be coming to therapy for, we will find a way to work with your brain, rather than against it. This can involve modifying exercises for sessions, ensuring that any knowledge is fully understood. It can also include outside of session actions, such as session scheduling.

As a pluralistic therapist I combine models, tools and approaches from a variety of schools of therapy in order to best suit you and your needs. This ensures that any decisions, tools and approached related to the direction and ongoing therapy are made together to best benefit you. I am an anti-oppressive practice and work in a trauma informed way.

Training, qualifications & experience

I completed my Diploma in Clinical Sexology and Relationship Therapy with The Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS) in 2025.

I was very fortunate that during my training I was able to take a placement opportunity at 56 Dean Street, sexual health service in London, and within that service work with TransPlus, the gender, sexual health and STI service integrated with 56 Dean Street. Following this, I was able to take a further placement with the Northern Regional Gender Dysphoria Service (NRGDS). These placements gave me the opportunity to work with the LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse communities, communities of of which I am present.
