Online Counselling, Relationship and Sex Therapy

Gaining insight, in to how significant relationships, and events have affected you, will provide an understanding of why you feel, communicate and act the way you do. Therapy will loosen the emotional knots that have held you back, leading to greater confidence in what matters to you.

Since 2006, I have helped individuals and couples put words to the feelings, that would otherwise remain painful or unresolved. People often start therapy, without knowing what's wrong, but just knowing something isn't right.

Working together you'll gain a new outlook on your circumstances enabling you to;

Let go of past hurt
Make choices
Take charge of your life
Find a way forward

1/1

Sex therapy is not just for couples, and it can address a wide range of sexual health concerns. You can discuss anything, including what might otherwise feel taboo. I have particular experience of working with the following issues;

A lack of self love or self compassion
Problems in relationships (Sex, Fidelity, Conflict)
Low Sexual Desire "Cant be bothered"
A difficulty in trusting others
Sexual Anxiety
Feeling irritated frustrated or angry
Interest in kink, fetish and non-monogamous relationship models
Thoughts that can't be got rid of
Self-Sabotage when in relationships
Putting other peoples needs, before your own.
A difficulty in getting things done
Problematic use of the internet
Fear of failure

The Approach

The approach is kind, genuine and non-judgmental. During our initial sessions, we will delve into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I use a number of different therapeutic approaches, psychodynamic, person centred, cognitive behavioural and adlerian where each person is viewed as an individual with different needs from the therapy process.

I draw on experience from working in the public, private and charity sectors. I have worked as a counselling lecturer, and have also been a trustee for a large mental health charity.
