I use a dynamic approach for sexual problems and a psychotherapeutic approach for understanding long term issues such as anxiety, gender, relationship, sexual and sexuality concerns. The aim is to help you on your journey to discover your potential. Through self-discovery, a power within can be found which may surprise you and those around you.
I am sensitive to what is causing you distress, with a style that is light, yet incisive.
I work with individuals and couples using relational, psychoanalytic, humanistic-existential, and attachment-theory-based approaches in my work. With sixteen years experience, I am very familiar with relationship issues, sexual behaviour and expression; This includes; Sexual shame Kink Non-monogamy, Poly, closed and undefined relationships. Lack of desire, erectile dysfunction I take a non-judgemental approach to “criminal” records, “offences” and accusations. Sex workers are most welcome. "offenders" and "criminals", too. I am open to working with anyone. I am positive and knowledgeable about much of the diversity in LGBTQIA++, GSRD (Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversities)
