I offer therapy for couples who are struggling to communicate and feel overwhelmed in your relationship, men navigating the pressures of modern life, and for people exploring non-monogamy, polyamory and open relationships in Birmingham & UK-wide.
I help you map out the cycles that keep you stuck - like the 'pursuer-distancer' loop - and rewrite scripts that no longer fit. My approach is practical: we build on your existing resources to handle jealousy, anxiety, or conflict. You’ll leave with tools for honest communication and a clearer sense of direction.

People come to psychotherapy for all kinds of different reasons. Perhaps a particular issue is making life very difficult, or maybe you have more general feelings of discontentment, unease or unhappiness that you want to address. One-to-one psychotherapy can help by providing a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel able to explore and express difficult thoughts, feelings and memories. This process of deep exploration helps you to grow and develop in areas that have previously felt stuck, painful or difficult to resolve.

If you are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, negative beliefs or unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns you will already be aware of the negative impact they have on your physical health, your relationships and your life overall. These symptoms can be debilitating and overwhelming but did you realise that they could be a result of traumatic or painful experiences in your past and that there is a way to change this? I use EMDR therapy and more to help you reprocess these negative experiences to reduce their emotional impact, change your beliefs about yourself and significantly decrease your current symptoms.

Enabling awareness of yourself in relation to the events of your life, and how new emergent choices can empower you moving forward.

They aim to build resilience, enhance self-acceptance, and foster deeper connections with their partners and communities, seeking to feel seen, heard, and validated in a society that often misunderstands them.

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Counsellors
Why might an individual want to see a therapist specialising in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialise in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.

When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counselling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counselling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.

How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
