If you are an individual or part of a couple that have issues around your relationship, or sexual relationship then please do get in contact. Perhaps your relationship is currently in crisis and nothing has changed, or perhaps you want to seek some help now before it gets any worse. It isn't always easy to sort these matters out by yourself and Couples Therapy can help you get your relationship back on track. I also specialise in sexual issues and compulsive sexual behaviour, which can also negatively affect your relationship, and I can help you to identify what these issues are and work towards helping you change this.
I am Relate and Tavistock trained Couple Therapist with over 20 years experience in this field. I can offer help and support to those with inter-racial relationship problems, sexual identity, non-monogamous issues, and I am an Accredited Psychosexual Therapist, I can work with issues of ED, PE, Vaginismus, low libido and compulsive sexual behaviour.
Making contact is the first hurdle - I understand that it isn't easy to do this. I am a warm, and approachable Therapist and if you're not sure what sort of therapy you need, then lets have a conversation either by email or phone. My full Assessment will help to ascertain whether you are seeing the right person for your issue.
