As an experienced counsellor both online and face-to-face, I am to provide a unique counselling experience for all of my clients. Using an integrative approach to each session, I am able to provide a truly bespoke service targeted to each person’s specific needs. Being an American expat living in the UK, I am able to provide this unique perspective to British nationals while also offering targeted guidance to other expats.

The London Clinic for Sex and Relationship Therapy (LCSRT) offers a holistic approach to sexual and relationship wellness combining online classes with personalised therapeutic programmes. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviour, gender identity, body image, your relationship to food, or family/parenting difficulties, we’re here for you. Helping you thrive whatever your sex or relationship difficulties.

Right now you may feel desperate, lost, empty, stressed, anxious or fed up. Whatever difficulty has prompted you to seek Counselling does not define who are you are and the journey you want to take in life. Together we will explore your feelings of being stuck, alone or in darkness as you strengthen your own resources to create greater wellbeing, resilience and satisfaction. No person is the same or brings identical experiences but frequent issues I work with include depression, anxiety, loss & bereavement, trauma, suicidal thoughts, work or school stress and relationship tensions. I work with clients aged 13+ and with Couples.

MODERN RELATIONSHIP & SEX THERAPY Connecting with people and being intimate can stir up all sorts of anxieties or compound exiting issues. Struggling with relational or sexual difficulties, or navigating the complexities of trying find our sexual place in the world and becoming comfortable with who we are can be challenging. As as psychodynamic psychosexual therapist my aim is to help you improve emotional and physical intimacy either in the relationship with yourself or your connections with others, and to help you overcome or manage any sexual difficulties you're having.

I have worked for the NHS, Terrence Higgins Trust and Ealing Abbey Counselling Service working with individuals and couples from a diverse range of backgrounds. I have experience of providing in depth long-term therapy on complex issues such as the effects of conversion therapy as well as providing short term therapy for the NHS. I aim to resolve sexual problems and improve my client's overall well being, their self esteem and their relationships. I do this through the use of Psychosexual tools such as sensate focus and through allowing the client to discuss their thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, or that you're lacking a sense of purpose? Is something holding you back from living the life you want to live? Maybe you are struggling to communicate and connect with your partner? Do you question why you keep repeating the same patterns? My aim is to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and emotions and the affect they have on your behaviour and mood. I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one, with us working side-by-side to develop your inner resources, communication skills, improve awareness of yourself, your body and your relationships with others.

I'm a psychodynamic therapist working primarily with issues related to sex, intimacy and relationships. I am sex positive and specialise in Gender, Sexuality and Relationship diversity, meaning I'm LGBTQIA+ inclusive, BDSM/ Kink conscious, polyamorous/non-monogamous aware and sex worker allied. I have extensive experience working with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor body image, internalised shame, stigmatisation due to being a sex worker, fear of intimacy, self-harm, trauma and childhood abuse.

Life at times can be challenging, people can often feel isolated and stuck in their struggles, confused about what to do to change the things in life that are troubling them. Reaching out can be hard, trusting others can feel even more difficult. It's at these times that therapy can make a difference. I am a sex-positive, kink -knowledgeable psychotherapist and am familiar working with a range of relationship models and gender dynamics. I work with people from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, including individuals from straight, queer, poly and kink communities, sex workers, and people who identify across the gender spectrum.

Jordan believes there are no limits in our awareness and growth towards achieving optimal sexuality. She's passionately curious in unlocking sexual potential. A Chinese and Spanish heritage and background in Social Policy means she's described with an innate awareness and intersectional understanding of the barriers people face in society that inhibits access to our erotic selves. She's GSRD affirming, going beyond exclusivity and restrictions of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) which includes everyone on the gender spectrum and diverse sexualities and practices including BDSM/ Kink , asexualities, consensual and non-monogamies.

As a Queer cisgender male, I have a particular interest working within the LGBTQi+ community. I work with persons that identify as male, who find themselves curious about gender and sexuality. Persons that might be asking questions and challenging binary thinking regarding identity, sexuality, sex and relationships. Persons that might be are openly gay or are generally wanting to work through the aspects of sexuality, gender and relationship diversity.

I offer psychotherapy and counselling to individuals and couples/partnerships of all sexual orientations with a supportive and non judgemental approach. I work from an integrative perspective using a range of theories and strategies to suit the specific needs of the client and I specialise in Psychosexual and Relationship issues. I have a 25 year background in Education and Teaching.

I currently offer individual and relationship/couples therapy online. I work with people with a range of experiences and issues including drug and alcohol, chronic illness, trauma and abuse, neurodiversity, gender and sexuality. You may not be sure why you are feeling drawn to counselling but something may not feel quite right now in your life. I work with people who are gay, queer, trans, bi, straight, cis, kink and sexuality/gender questioning or relationship diverse. I am experienced in working with the Trans community and partners of Trans people. I am committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming, safe and confidential space.

I am a Clinical Sexologist who provides sex and relationship therapy for individuals, couples and multiple partnered relationships. Sexology involves many facets including: Sex: desire & arousal, sexuality, sexual health, sexual function & pain, low-esteem Relationships: intimacy, conflict management, infidelity, life changes and Gender & sexual identity: LGBTQIA+, Kink , gender dysphoria.

I provide counselling and coaching to women and people who often find themselves outside of the mainstream - LGBTQ+ people, people who have multiple relationships, practice kink or do sex work. I also offer a space for people who sometimes struggle to connect with their emotions and find they need to think and talk their way into their feelings. No one seeking therapy is broken or in need of fixing. There are always meaningful explanations for the ways you behave or how you feel, but when those aren’t obvious to you, you might find yourself struggling, questioning yourself and wondering if something is wrong with you.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

I have been working within the field of mental health for almost 30 years, predominantly within the NHS, and have a wealth of training and experience. I provide both long and short term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and work to an exceptional standard of confidentiality. I work with a variety of problems and issues such as anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties. However, if you'd like to discuss what is troubling you, you are very welcome to call or e-mail me before committing to making an appointment.

Most of us will experience sexual and relationship difficulties at some point in our lives and yet it can still be very challenging and embarrassing discussing them. Talking to an experienced and qualified psychosexual and relationship therapist can help you identify the difficulties you are experiencing, understand and explore different ways you can overcome these challenges and move forward. I aim to create a confidential and safe place where you feel able to talk about these issues in a non-shaming way. I am a sex positive therapist and I am comfortable exploring alternative sexual interests.
