This may include low desire, pain during sex, erection or orgasm difficulties, compulsive sexual behaviours, or sex becoming pressured, avoidant, increasingly monitored rather than felt, or distressing.
We identify the patterns maintaining the problem, including where attention goes, how pressure builds, and how certain responses reinforce the cycle. Therapy is active and structured, using attentional shifts, behavioural experiments, and graded exposure. The aim is measurable change in emotional, relational, and sexual functioning.

Sex and relationship therapy can help us to not only understand our difficulties, but also empower us to make better choices about being in the world.
For me, empathy is at the centre of effective therapeutic work, and so I offer a supportive, warm, and respectful environment to all. Sexual and relationship difficulties can be deeply uncomfortable, and even traumatic. But the therapy room can be a place to heal, grow, and flourish – whoever we are and whatever the difficulties we face.

I am a sex and relationship therapist offering weekly sessions in London (Peckham & London Fields) and Leigh on Sea, Essex.
My approach is embodied and pluralistic. This means we'll look at the mind–body system, and we work with sensation, emotion and meaning, rather than just thoughts. It also means there is no one-size-fits-all. I tailor how we work to suit your needs, values and ways of processing, so that therapy genuinely fits you. I am queer and neurodivergent-affirming.

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.
