Counselling Sex and Relationship Therapy

Confidential, friendly and passionate about helping people to improve their mental health.

Since 2006, I have helped individuals and couples put words to the feelings, that would otherwise remain painful or unresolved. Many of the people I work with, don't know exactly what's wrong, they just know something isn't right.

​Gaining insight, in to how significant relationships, and events have affected you, will uncover the root causes, and provide an understanding of why you feel and act the way you do. Therapy will loosen the emotional knots that have held you back.

Working together you'll gain a new outlook on your circumstances enabling you to;

​Let go of past hurt

Make choices

Take charge of your life

You can discuss anything, including what might otherwise feel taboo. I have particular experience of working with the following issues;​

​A lack of self love or self compassion

Problems within relationships (Sex, Fidelity, Conflict)

Low Sexual Desire "Cant be bothered"

A difficulty in trusting others

Sexual Anxiety

Feeling irritated frustrated or angry

Interest in kink, fetish and alternative relationship models

Thoughts that can't be got rid of

Putting other peoples needs, before your own.

A difficulty in getting things done

Problematic use of the internet

Burdening Relationships and Responsibilities

​I work on a long and short term basis.

The first session, is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns, and explore whether the experience and approach I offer, suits you, and the issues you want to work on. We will discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy, and what you may want to achieve.

If we decide that we are to work together, we will arrange a regular time, and day to meet.
