Experience and approach:

I have been in Private Practice for over 10 years starting in Australia and then in England. My Private Practice www.thinkingfeelingmoving.com offers online therapy to clients globally. My specialist backgrounds in both Yoga Therapy and Education complement the work that I do as a Clinical Sexologist and Relationship Therapist.  In working with my clients, I consider what is happening for them in context of their unique needs biologically, psychologically and socially. I am pluralistic in by approach meaning that I consider which are the best 'tools' so to speak in working with the client/s before me. I am not confined to one particular type of therapy. I am against conversion therapy. I am sex positive and GSRD trained. I do not shame. I do not work with the sex addiction model I do work with compulsive sexual behaviours. You are welcome with me.
