I work with people that are individually unique, not just labels or diagnoses
I have been providing Psychosexual Therapy for 19 years, currently I work 'exclusively' online. I work UK wide, having many clients from Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Belfast and now include Portugal. I specialise in treating various difficulties (see menu) and work within a sunny atmosphere of respect, kindness, acceptance, hope and confidentiality.
I warmly welcome all potential clients who may want to just explore a difficult situation, to those wanting to change a specific behavour/s. Your understanding of what is going on is paramount, particularly for relationships of any type. Clients often think of Therapy as their 'treatment'. I use an Integrative approach, (meaning one therapy size/approach does not fit all), I can choose from a number of therapy models and often use Compassionate Focused therapy in conjunction with e.g. Cognitive behavioural therapy. I am also Trauma aware and Trauma informed. I am able to help make meaning of situations with you and when their is understanding, their can be healing. I am also able to gently challenge behaviours that are not helping you achieve your goals. Humor is often experienced between myself and clients, when appropriate and it can help to lighten the load in this funny old world. We can equally share the sadness of loss and the threat of fear.
I provide online Relationship therapy, Psychosexual therapy for sexual problems and Sex/porn addiction problems. I never forget how painful, emotional distress, can lead to feeling vulnerable and afraid. Not many people want to consider themselves as emotionally vulnerable. Men in particular can believe that means you are weak. Here is a link to The power of vulnerability by Brene Brown - an outstanding Ted talk.
Let me help you find strength and courage to move forward from (whatever problem you have), closer to a calmer, more positive way of being. I will never judge you. My job is not to judge, but to understand you, to find the best way to help you. Sexual acts are part of all human behaviour and I am comfortable with the material that clients bring to their sessions.
Legal Sexual behaviours I work to prevent the start of Sexual offending or recurring offending I offer a specialised 'treatment' program for (mostly men) and separatley with their traumatised partners. Importantly, this is about your own safety as well as the safety of others and we have to wake you up to all you have to lose, to help change your behaviours.
Mental Health conditions I have had 11 plus years of working a 6 session, brief therapy model for all mild to moderate mental health conditions. More than 6 sessions are available. A session of Cognitive behavioural therapy.
