LGBTQ+ Affirming Counsellors in Frome, ENG

We can all struggle with our relationships, both sexually & emotionally, and talking about these problems can be particularly daunting. These struggles can take many forms, ranging from conflict difficulties, marital problems, pain during intercourse, a lack of desire, erectile dysfunction, sexual identity, childhood trauma affecting our adult relationships and many others. Taking the first step to seek out therapy is a difficult one, but one that could help to break the cycle we are currently playing out. I provide the same warmth and care to all members of society. LGBTQ +, kink and fetish friendly.

Having a fulfilling and lasting relationship is something we all aspire to, but it isn't always easy. Relationships can go wrong for all sorts of reasons and it's difficult to know where to go for help. In my work as a sex and relationship therapist, I work with both couples and individuals to not only get your relationship back on track and improve communication, but also to help it develop so that it achieves its full potential. Often, problems in a relationship can be an opportunity to develop it so get in touch with me if you need some help either to heal a crisis or to make your relationship the best it can be.

I offer individual counselling in Frome - Somerset. ​You might be experiencing some kind of emotional distress, whether through a life experience, or maybe you are experiencing low self-esteem.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story.

It can be difficult to navigate life when you are feeling sad, anxious or angry. I can offer you a safe, confidential and supportive space with no judgement to face the issues behind the feelings.

Are you looking for a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment in which you can explore difficult emotions and experiences at your own pace? Sharing and talking about our problems with another person is the oldest form of medicine; it can help us feel acknowledged and heard. I believe we are the experts of our own life as we are the only ones that have lived it. Feeling genuinely heard, and being treated as an equal and unique individual throughout the psychotherapy process, creates an environment where acceptance and positive change can grow.
