About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified and experienced relationship counsellor, psychosexual therapist, compulsive sexual behaviour therapist and clinical supervisor, registered with the BACP and COSRT.
I completed my postgraduate degree in counselling at Reading University in 2005, which focused on a psychodynamic approach, I have since studied and have experience in other therapeutic approaches and have incorporated them into my practice to fit the needs of my clients.
Over the last 20 years I have worked in various setting including NHS, the workplace and charities including Relate
Practice description
I have worked with individual clients since 2000 and trained as a relationship counsellor in 2009, I now see couples as well as individuals. In 2019 I qualified as a Psychosexual Therapist and in 2024 as a Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Therapist –this is sometimes referred to as a Sex Addiction Therapist. I also work with partners of people with a compulsive sexual behaviour. My psychosexual practice includes the use of CBT and Sensate Focus – starting with a sensual non-sexual approach to help clients gently look ways to reach their goals.
My first session
In our first session we can explore together what goals or changes you would like if you decide to embark on this journey with me. You can ask me any questions and share any concerns you may have. I have a gentle calm approach and will be lead by you with regard how much you want to share in this first session or at any time.
I offer concessions for anyone on a tight budget and can also arrange an initial free 20 minute zoom call if that would be helpful.
