About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am a warm and empathetic therapist, very open-minded and non-judgmental. I like to work together with clients to see if we can jointly work out the causes of the problems, and how they can be helped.

I do general therapy, and also psychosexual work. Psychosexual work involves helping with particular sexual issues, on a talking therapy basis (no touch ever involved), which can include things like erectile problems, premature or delayed ejaculation, pain on penetration, chemsex and other compulsive behaviours. For psychosexual work, I am currently working towards a specialist diploma with Tavistock Relationships and registration with COSRT.

Experience and approach:

My general approach is psychodynamic, which involves working with the unconscious factors that may be influencing our behaviour. I will also bring in aspects of some other approaches as appropriate. I have worked in primary care in the NHS and now work in private practice.
