I take a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to explore your inner world with curiosity and care. I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, burnout, and emotional patterns that can feel hard to shift. I also work in a neuroaffirming way with people exploring their experiences of attention, energy, and regulation in a world that isn’t always built with difference in mind.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes our thoughts become the hardest part to manage. I help people untangle these patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and find long-term calm. With master’s degrees in Communications and Media and in Professional Psychology, I bring a balanced mix of human insight and clinical skill. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and inclusive of all identities and backgrounds, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic frameworks. I recently explored this in my blog When I Asked ChatGPT to Be My Therapist on The Three Seas website.

My perspective is based on meeting a person where they are, without judgment. No two humans have the same experiences, beliefs, and strengths. Starting from a holistic person-centred overview I work together with clients to discover what they want and how to move in that direction. To help clients achieve their goals I collaboratively use a range of evidence-based techniques from approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at the heart of therapy is connection - and that’s what I try my best to prioritise in our sessions. I believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or detached; it should feel like a conversation with someone who truly sees you. I work specifically with young adults aged 18 - 35, and I have a special interest in working with trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety disorders, young adults who are experiencing family and relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are experiencing identity struggles or those just feeling "stuck".

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behaviour.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviours and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, alcohol and substance use medications, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behaviour takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behaviour can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviours that feel uncontrollable.
