About Me

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, struggle with anxiety or relationship difficulties, or find it hard to move beyond past experiences. As an Integrative Counsellor and Coach, I offer a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe, heard and understood. Together, we can explore your concerns and find a way forward that feels right for you.

I use a pluralistic framework and tailor my interventions to your individual needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques to support greater self-awareness, understanding and meaningful change.

Psychosexual Therapy and Sexual Wellbeing

I offer sex-positive, inclusive psychosexual therapy in a respectful, non-judgemental space. Areas of work include sexual difficulties, intimacy, sexual trauma, gender identity, coming out, gender dysphoria, transitioning, kink and fetish, compulsive sexual behaviours and erectile difficulties.

Together, we can explore your concerns, deepen self-understanding and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with your sexuality.

Couples Counselling and Relationships

I am trained in Contemporary Intimate Partners Therapy and offer couples counselling to help partners explore relationship difficulties, improve communication and find a constructive way forward.

We can address conflict, communication breakdown, emotional distance, differences in sexual desire, infidelity, intimacy, separation and uncertainty about the future.

I also provide an inclusive, sex-positive space for couples exploring kink, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy and open relationships, respecting diverse relationship structures, needs and boundaries.

Whether you hope to rebuild trust, reconnect emotionally or sexually, or make important decisions about your relationship, our work will focus on your individual needs and shared goals.

My Approach

I take a holistic view, recognising how our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, past experiences and present circumstances shape our lives and relationships.

Our work may involve exploring recurring patterns, addressing unresolved difficulties, developing new perspectives and finding healthier ways to manage life's challenges. I will support you in recognising your strengths, building resilience and discovering your own solutions, while remaining mindful of your hopes and aspirations for the future.
