Features

  • Flexible hours available

Availability

I currently have availability for new clients and offer online psychotherapy and sex counselling during weekday mornings, afternoons, and limited evening slots. All sessions are held online via secure video call, making therapy accessible from your own space — whether you’re based in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, or anywhere else in Essex.

Online therapy offers the flexibility and privacy many clients find helpful, especially when juggling work, parenting, or personal responsibilities. My practice is open to individuals and couples seeking support with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, sexual concerns, trauma, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected.

I work exclusively online and offer both short-term, goal-focused counselling and longer-term exploratory psychotherapy, depending on your needs. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I hold a BACP and UKCP registration in psychotherapy and have additional training in sexology. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed.

If I plan to take time away from my practice (e.g. for holidays or breaks), I always give clients advance notice. I aim to offer flexible scheduling where possible, and I usually respond to new enquiries within 24 hours.

If you live in Southend or the surrounding Essex area and are looking for accessible, compassionate online therapy or sex counselling, please feel free to reach out.

About me and my therapy practice

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been holding things in for a long time or are unsure what to expect. My role is to meet you where you are — without pressure or judgment — and offer a space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be explored safely and at your own pace.

I work with individuals and couples online, offering weekly sessions where we can look together at what’s causing distress or getting in the way of feeling settled in yourself or your relationships. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship breakdowns, sexual issues, burnout, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you — therapy can help you begin to make sense of what’s going on and build a more grounded, compassionate connection to yourself.

My background is in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, and I’ve also completed additional training in sexology. I support clients with a wide range of emotional and sexual concerns, including loss of desire, shame, painful sex, self-esteem issues, and intimacy struggles.

I work in a collaborative and respectful way — this is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself better, reconnect with what matters, and find more freedom in how you live and relate.

Sessions take place online via secure video, and I welcome clients from Southend, Leigh-on-Sea, and across Essex who are seeking a thoughtful and confidential space to begin therapy.

Practice description

My practice is a calm, confidential online space where you can pause, reflect, and work through the issues that are impacting your emotional or relational wellbeing. I offer psychotherapy and sex counselling for adults and couples across the UK — including many clients based in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, and the wider Essex area.

I work with people navigating a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdowns, family stress, sexual concerns, or a general sense of being stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Whether you’re seeking clarity in your personal life, healing from past experiences, or support in your relationship or sex life, therapy can help you feel more connected and in control.

I offer weekly sessions via secure video call, with a consistent time slot to help build trust, continuity, and safety in the work. Therapy with me isn’t rushed or surface-level — it’s a process of exploring what’s going on underneath your current challenges and working together to find new ways forward.

My practice is inclusive, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I’m especially mindful of how social, cultural, or family expectations may have shaped your experience of emotions, identity, intimacy, or relationships.

If you're looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on — whether you're new to therapy or returning to it — I welcome you to get in touch. I offer a brief initial consultation to help you get a sense of whether working together feels right.

My first session

The first session is a chance for us to meet and begin getting a sense of what working together might be like. I see this initial session as an open, low-pressure space for you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy or sex counselling, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether you feel comfortable continuing.

You don’t need to prepare anything or complete any forms beforehand — our agreement is reached verbally, not through paperwork. I’ll explain how I work, including things like confidentiality, session length and frequency, and how we might approach the issues you want to bring. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels right at this stage.

I may ask some background questions to help me understand your situation — including any relevant personal history, current challenges, and therapeutic goals — but there’s no pressure to go into detail before you’re ready.

Sessions are held online via secure video call, and I offer a consistent weekly slot once we agree to continue. I do not currently offer a reduced rate for the first session, but I aim to make the process accessible and welcoming for anyone who is new to therapy or feeling uncertain.

If you’re based in Southend or the surrounding Essex area and are curious about starting therapy or sex counselling, feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to answer questions and help you decide if this feels like the right next step for you.
