About me
Relationship & Sex, Counselling for Intimacy Issues Peterborough & UK online.
You've probably landed here because, You work hard. You take responsibility. People rely on you.
But in your relationship, something isn’t working the way it should.
Conversations about intimacy go nowhere. Desire feels mismatched. You or your partner may feel distant, frustrated, or stuck in the same patterns.
You might lie awake wondering if your sex life can really change…
or whether you’ll ever feel fully alive and connected in your relationship again.
To keep things steady, you might find yourself holding things in, keeping the peace, or trying to fix things quickly before tension builds. Over time, that can start to feel exhausting.
Many of the people I work with care deeply about their relationships, but feel stuck in patterns they don’t know how to shift. They’ve often learned to manage conflict by adapting themselves or staying quiet, rather than speaking openly about what matters, and gradually, that leads to frustration, resentment, or disconnection.
Sex and intimacy are often part of this.
You might be navigating differences in desire, sexual frustration, or uncertainty about what you actually want, but finding it hard to talk about it in a way that brings you closer, rather than creating more distance.
This work isn’t about blame or endless analysis, it’s about helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, feel clearer about what you do and don’t want and giving you the tools to express that without escalating conflict.
In our work together, we focus on helping you:
• understand the patterns in your relationships
• communicate your needs clearly and honestly
• navigate differences in sexual desire and intimacy
• stay steady in difficult conversations
• rebuild connection, boundaries, and mutual respect
Therapy with me is thoughtful, practical, and focused on real-life change.
Many of the people I work with are insightful and emotionally aware but feel unsure how to turn that into conversations that actually move things forward.
If you recognise yourself here, an initial conversation can help you decide whether working together feels right.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and have been working in private practice for several years.
My work focuses on supporting people who want to improve their experience of sex, intimacy, and communication within their relationships.
I have undertaken training with Martha Kauppi, an internationally recognised expert in sexual health and relational dynamics. This has deepened my understanding of desire, attachment, and the complexities of modern relationships, including consensual non-monogamy.
Many of the people I work with are navigating differences in sexual desire. I work from the understanding that there is no single “normal” level of desire, it is shaped by biology, stress, relational dynamics, past experiences, and emotional safety. Together, we explore what intimacy means for you and how to build a more authentic and satisfying connection.
I also hold a Diploma in Sex and Porn Addiction Counselling. When sexual behaviour feels compulsive or out of control, therapy offers space to understand what’s driving it, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating.
Alongside this, I work with many neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD, offering a space where different ways of thinking, feeling, and relating are understood rather than pathologised.
If guilt, secrecy, or confusion are keeping you stuck, therapy provides a space where you can speak openly about what’s really happening without judgement. When difficult experiences can be explored honestly and met with steadiness, meaningful change becomes possible.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

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).

Further information
I work from a private, comfortable office in the PE6 area of Peterborough, offering a calm and welcoming space where you can talk openly. I also offer online sessions across the UK, so you can choose what feels most comfortable for you.
It’s completely normal to feel nervous at first - most people do. The first session is relaxed and conversational. I’ll invite you to share a bit about your life, your relationships, and what’s been feeling difficult.
There’s no pressure to say everything perfectly. We go at a pace that feels right for you.
Over time, our work focuses on helping you make sense of what’s happening, feel clearer about what you want, and begin to approach things differently, both in how you understand yourself and how you communicate with others.
Many people find that as things start to make more sense, they feel lighter, more confident, and more hopeful about the direction their relationships can take.
