About me
Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio and I hope you find what you are looking for. I have given a brief outline of my work below and please scroll down further as there is further explanation for each of the fields. Or better still contact me and we can talk it through in a free 30-minute consultation or email exchange.
My specialist fields include;
Couples Therapy to rebuild communication, trust, harmony, and mutual respect.
Sex Therapy for individuals, couples, and polyamorous relationships, whom are having problems with their sex life.
Sexual Addiction/Compulsion Therapy for those struggling with compulsive behaviours and the partners who are feeling the trauma impact from the this.
Love Addiction Therapy for individuals who feel they fall in love yet never stay in love or never feel loved enough.
Attachment Focused – Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (AF-DR) for individuals who are suffering with traumatic responses and triggers and want to find a better outcome to the triggers.
All the above will be encapsulated with Talking Therapy either face to face or via Zoom.
How talking therapy works and what it helps with;
Work through the difficulties that you are currently going through.
Discover what options you have and help you to find the right path forward.
Cope with change and/or make the changes you want to.
Learn new ways of coping by creating a deeper understanding of yourself.
Feel better about yourself and your life.
See a way forward and make progress.
Couples Therapy
Coming for couples therapy will help you both to recognise what you want and what is missing. By using clear communication, we will look at your history together and explore what animosities and resentments you are holding towards each other. Helping you find the relationship that is right for you both.
Sex Therapy
Will help you understand and overcome any sexual issues you feel you have. This work includes exercise and discussions you will do at home, in between the therapy sessions working on improving intimacy and sexual intimacy.
Sex therapy will help you understand your needs and will educate you in any conditions you may have. This work is for individuals and couples.
Areas covered.
Low or lack of desire
Erectile disfunction
Rapid or delayed ejaculation
Pain on intercourse
Anorgasmia
Fear of intercourse
Fear of pregnancy
Fear of orgasm
Sex Addiction/Compulsion Therapy for the compulsive partner we will work on the history of the compulsion and what triggers the behaviour – sexual addiction/compulsion often has started as a coping/soothing mechanism that turned habitual and now is compulsive – I work in decreasing the shame that your behaviour is evoking and finding strategies to help lead the life and enjoy the sex life you desire.
For the non-compulsive partner, you will learn what it is your partner is doing and we will work on the impact the discovery has had – this work will be part educational and part coaching/therapy depending on what you feel.
Love Addiction can appear in many ways so this next paragraph is not exclusive. It maybe you fall in love quickly and this last only for months rather than years – It maybe you feel you are not loved enough and crave more than you are getting – It maybe you day dream of people you know, famous people or imagined people to love – Love Addiction has many guises and being able to talk this through and working collaboratively we will find the answers.
AF-EMDR works in conjunction with all the above and helps you process more quickly any traumatic events that have happened in your past – I never work solely with AF-EMDR and the choice is yours if you would like to use this in your therapy
Thank you for interest
