Intimacy and sexuality are vital aspects of who we are, but they can also cause anxiety, distress and relationship breakdown. I am a trained Psychosexual Therapist who can help you to navigate your way out of the difficulties you are facing. I will work with you to help you explore what you are wanting out of sex and intimacy, understanding how to express this to your partner(s)
Sexual problems can include for women, lack of desire, vaginisumus, not being able to orgasm.
For men it can include lack of desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, not being able to orgasm.
For all sexes it can be coming to terms with the body and its changes through ageing or illness.
I will work with you in a safe, supportive and sensitive way to help you work through your sexual problems. I can work with individuals, couples or people in multiple partner relationships, same sex and heterosexual people.
Sometimes people can struggle with various aspects of their relationships. I can help you through this by helping to improve your communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen your bond. in relationship therapy I provide a safe space to encourage you to discuss your feelings, concerns and needs. The goal is to help you navigate the difficulties you are having whilst fostering a healthier and more fulfilling relationship. Such difficulties can be significant issues such as recovering from affairs, to considering how you are going to live together once you have made a commitment to do so, whether that is marriage or not.
I work with couples or people in multiple partner relationships, same sex and heterosexual people.
My individual sessions will provide you with a safe space to explore feelings and challenges, helping you to achieve the your goals and provide mental clarity. I will work on a one to one basis to gain insight, and develop strategies to overcome problems in your life. These can include, anxiety, depression, low mood, stress, eating disorders, or simply wanting to achieve personal growth. My approach is systemic,which means working with you to examine all aspects of your life which can impact on your well being. I do use other techniques, such as CBT, person centred and psychodynmaic therapy where this is appropriate.
Appointments are for 50 minutes. Prior to your first appointment I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation with you to see if you feel I am able to help you and if we can work together. Following this I shall send you a contract to look at, we will discuss this further when we meet.
As a trained therapist I stay up to date with continual professional development. This helps me to support you with the most up to date information and techniques being used in therapy.
