I help men struggling with sex addiction, porn addiction, love addiction, and enmeshment to break free from compulsive patterns, reduce shame, and build healthier relationships. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist & Supervisor, specialising in compulsive sexual behaviour and parent–child enmeshment.
I integrate parts-based (IFS-informed) therapy and Somatic Experiencing to support deeper, lasting change.
You promised yourself you’d stop porn or cam use, but feel unable to. Guilt and shame follow. You may have seen a sex worker and worry about your family’s health. Dating apps take over your time. You feel intense attraction quickly, chasing “the one.” In recovery from substances, but sexual behaviours have increased.
You may be in despair and feel hopeless, but I can assure you there is hope and a way forward. I have helped many people move from the pain of addiction to leading fulfilled and better lives. I will work with you to identify problematic sexual behaviours, including any underlying issues you may have. I will create a safe healing space for you to recover.
