I work with people that are individually unique, not just labels or diagnoses
I have been providing Psychosexual Therapy & Relationship Therapy for 19 years and I am a Senior Accredited Member of my Professional governing body. I currently work 'exclusively' online. I work UK wide, with many clients from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, 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 and to those wanting to change a specific behavour/s. Your understanding of what is going on is paramount, particularly for any type of relationship. 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 Attachment Theory, Inner Child work and Compassionate Focused therapy together and also Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am also Trauma aware and Trauma informed. I am able to help make meaning of situations with you and when there is understanding, there can be healing. I am also able to challenge behaviours that are not helping you achieve your goals. After all, if we keep doing what we always do, we keep getting what we have always got. Humor is often shared 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 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 all part of human behaviour and I am comfortable with the material that clients bring to their sessions.
