Hello, I’m Mirlene — welcome to my profile. As an Integrative Counsellor (BSc) specialising in Psychosexual Therapy (PGDip/MSc), I understand that reaching out for support — especially around intimacy, sexuality, or relationships — can feel vulnerable. My aim is to offer a safe, grounded space where you can explore whatever feels important to you.

My sessions are collaborative — I work alongside you as you explore your experiences, make sense of patterns, and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others.

Together, we will explore what feels helpful, meaningful, and achievable for you, using therapeutic and psychological tools tailored to your growth, your pace, and the challenges you wish to work through.

I warmly welcome clients from diverse backgrounds who value culturally sensitive therapy.

Specialisms

To help you decide if I might be the right therapist for you, here are some key areas I focus on:

Psychosexual issues – e.g. difficulties with intimacy or sexual functioning, low libido, performance anxiety, sexual trauma

Relationship challenges – e.g. communication problems, rebuilding trust, intimacy issues between partners (I work with both individuals and couples)

Emotional wellbeing – e.g. anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and how these may relate to or affect your personal relationships and sexual well-being

If you’re facing something that isn’t listed above, you’re still welcome – I work using Integrative Counselling, which means I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs by drawing from different therapeutic models.
