Tired of finding yourself frustrated, lonely, unfulfilled and lost in your intimate life and relationships? Yes, spending life stuck and unhappy, feeling like a lab rat – trying to figure out a maze without a map can be soul-destroying. I've been talking, teaching and helping people with their relationships and sexuality since 2007, and no story can faze me. You can feel safe - I'll get you. I will understand and not judge one bit. This is your journey. Are you struggling with intimacy and sexuality? Are you curious about kinky sex or swinging? Or maybe you want to open your relationship? Or to begin with - actually find a partner?

When life starts to feel overwhelming and stressful, therapy can offer the space to unpack the difficulties you're experiencing. I take an integrative approach to therapy, working with individuals to cultivate self-compassion, enhance emotional regulation, and identify the values and skills that enable them to face life’s challenges. I have a particular interest in supporting people with body image concerns, including body dysmorphic disorder, offering a compassionate space to explore the emotional and social pressures that shape how we see ourselves and to foster a more accepting and balanced relationship with the body.

I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion and simply need to talk. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and begin to understand where it began: Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and kind. My purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find purpose, meaning and peace in your life.

As a Clinical Psychologist, CBT Therapist and Coach with over 15 years' experience using cognitive-behavioural, acceptance and commitment and mindfulness-based approaches, I combine psychological therapy with effective coaching strategies to help clients to overcome difficulties, improve their mental well-being and thrive in all aspects of their lives.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or dissatisfied with your current situation, I provide transformational coaching and therapy to help you to move forward with confidence and clarity. You may feel lost and lack a sense of direction and focus in your life. Or perhaps you have a clear goal, but you are struggling to overcome obstacles and feel stuck. You might recognise that you are locked in a negative mindset or that fear of failure is stopping you from moving forward. Perhaps you would like to improve your confidence and build resilience but you feel that procrastination, perfectionism or imposter syndrome are holding you back.

I won’t just sit and nod. We’ll talk openly, with real conversation, curiosity, and challenge when it’s helpful.

Together, we’ll cut through confusion, build resilience, and create a clearer direction for your life.
