About me
Sex and relationships are relevant to all of us and although it can feel daunting we all need support at some point or another. If you've reached one of those points in your life, I am here for you. Over the last 10 years I have supported monogamous, ethically non-monogamous, heterosexual and LGBTQ+ relationships and individuals in re-discovering truth, understanding, connection and their bodies and pleasure.
I am deeply passionate about this work personally & professionally and it's an honour to accompany my clients on their relationship/sex journey. I believe to have sex and relate authentically we have to connect mind, body & sex. I have a somatic and trauma informed approach and I include creative interventions, parts work and inner child work where relevant.
A sex and relationship therapy journey is very intimate and vulnerable and it's important to have the right person alongside you. Take your time deciding and if you feel drawn to my profile please reach out for an initial call to see if we're a good fit. Don't hesitate to ask any questions about me, my work and anything else on your mind.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified and practicing as a Psychosexual (Sex) and Relationship Therapist and Somatic Sex Coach with over 9 years experience working with couples and individuals. I am a member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT – a UKCP member organisation) and I am working towards receiving accreditation in 2020.
I undertook my clinical training at the North London Hospice, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and The Awareness Centre in Clapham.
These trainings diversified my experience and I have worked in areas of gender, disability, non-monogamy, LGBTQ, communication difficulties, relational conflict, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, differentiating sexual orientation in relationship, differentiating sexual desire, sexual dysfunction e.g. erectile/ejaculation issues, orgasm difficulties, unexplained vaginal pain.
I explore sex and relationships deeply in my own life as well as professionally and I am always researching and training to bring the best quality service to my clients.

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.
