About me

Sex is like cooking a meal: an indulgent exploration of ingredients that never come together quite the same way twice. The real pleasure lies in the deliciously messy creative process, not in striving for a perfect final result.

If no one ever told you this, it’s no wonder sex may have felt overwhelming or difficult to talk about. This is where I can help.

As an experienced and registered psychosexual therapist, I support individuals, couples, and multi-partners in navigating sex problems, relationship challenges, and anxiety or stress related to intimacy. Together, we can explore concerns such as desire, sexual pain, vaginismus, orgasmic difficulties, erections, ejaculation, sexuality, sexual confidence, and many other areas with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.

With a strong foundation in person-centred and mindfulness-based therapy, and experience across both private practice and NHS psychosexual services, I offer a warm, empathetic space to help you reconnect with your body and mind, encouraging self-kindness, body awareness, and playful exploration.

My practice is open, inclusive, and affirming. I work with gender, sexual, and relationship diversity (GSRD), including LGBTQIA+ counselling, kink-aware therapy, and non-monogamous relationship support. Whatever your background or experience, therapy with me offers a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your sexual self with authenticity and care.
