My clients often feel disconnected from their desire, sexuality, or relationships and seek a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these issues.
I take a flexible, personalised approach, combining EMDR, NLP, hypno-psychotherapy, mindfulness, and sex-positive, trauma-informed strategies. Using a holistic framework with Polyvagal and Attachment theories, I help individuals and couples explore self-discovery, heal emotionally, and navigate relationships with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.

As a Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist, I help individuals and couples overcome the barriers that hold them back from living satisfying, sex-positive lives, and from having meaningful, deeply connective relationships.
I am an integrative therapist (a psychological approach that uses multiple therapy models depending on the patient's needs), with a particular interest in Gestalt (present moment and self-awareness) and Psychodynamic (the root of behaviours). My style is expert, direct, open, honest, sometimes confronting, empathetic, and truth-finding.

Hi, I'm Kes, I'm a lived experience informed counsellor and most of the people I work with are neurodivergent and/or queer-identifying. There's so much drama and heartache in many of our lives, yet I firmly believe there should be more love, peace and understanding - and that it is possible! Maybe you're here because you want to show up for yourself and others, honour your authenticity and your needs, and make the most of your precious time on earth. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work, however you don't have to do it alone. Try up to six sessions to see if therapy benefits you, and if you want to continue with more.

Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
