About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am a white, queer, non-binary, disabled person from Lancashire, working in Manchester. These identities shape me as a person and as a therapist, and I work with my clients in a way that recognises all aspects of their identity as well.

I promote sexual health and well-being without fear or shame. I have knowledge of sexual dysfunctions and disorders whilst also moving away from pathologising and over-medicalising to focus on the experiences, identities and relationships that you want and need.

One of my favourite things about therapy and counselling is that this field requires life-long learning, and I’m always trying to improve and integrate new approaches to feed my curiosity and better serve my clients.

Experience and approach:

As an integrative therapist, I work differently with each client, depending on your needs and the therapeutic relationship we build together. I offer short, medium or long-term psychosexual and relationship therapy drawing from a variety of approaches including Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Existential, Systemic, Attachment theory and trauma-informed Polyvagal and inner child work.

I cover topics including:

Sexual functioning - pain in your genitals (vaginismus, dyspareunia, penile pain, endometriosis, post-surgery complications, FGM), orgasm issues, erection or ejaculation issues, fertility issues, sexual health issues, low desire/arousal issues, compulsive sexual behaviour (also known as sex addiction), ChemSex, sexual abuse or trauma

Relationships - intimacy, communication issues, conflict management, trust issues (including infidelity and affairs), mismatched desires/sexualities/experience, changes in your relationship (such as pre-marital therapy, living together, illness, grief and bereavement, having children, children leaving home, opening-up etc.)

Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD): LGBTQIA+, transitioning, dealing with dysphoria, questioning your gender, sexuality, identity, being intersex, sexual practices, BDSM, kink, fetishes, different relationship styles (including solo/singledom, monogamy, non-monogamy, polyamory, relationship anarchy, ace and aromantic dynamics), sex education
