About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I offer therapy that is relational, sex-positive, collaborative, and LGBTQi+ affirmative. My lived experience is integral to how I work.

I draw on interventions and ideas from multiple modalities, namely, contemporary sexology, Gender, Sex, Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I will introduce ideas of Mindfulness and meditation within our work to support the difficult and challenging times in life we all experince.

In addition, I have been trained to work therapeutically in a trauma informed way.

Areas of Specialism

I specialise in working with all people looking to explore their Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity. My specialisms include Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB), Clinical Sexology for Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), how to think about parenting and the complexity of our attachments.

I am passionate about working with the LGBTQi+ community in a variety of ways and have a particular interest in working with men who are questioning or confused about their sexuality or want to find acceptance within their sexuality. People who have entered a heterosexual marriage where questions regarding sexuality have arisen later.

I work with people experiencing Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB). Whilst these behaviours can be considered an ‘addiction’ such as sex addiction or porn addiction by many professionals, it is important to know that I do not practice from an addiction model or view these behaviours as being an addiction. This is in line with the latest contemporary thinking from sexology. I support fully the need to ban the harmful practice of conversion therapy.

I work well with BDSM, kinks, kinksters and fetish.

For men who have sex with men (MSM) and who want to talk about the use of Chems or Chemsex, please contact me. Chemsex is not always manageable for everyone. We can discuss whats happening and where appropriate signpost to some great organisations that are able to offer the right support. Safety is paramount.
