It is rare to find someone who sincerely and genuinely cares, accepts us without judgement, or has true understanding empathy for us. People often tell us how we should feel or how they think we should deal with our situation, not theirs. Sometimes even with conditions, otherwise we face consequences. Thinking of what benefits them, not us. Looking at things from their perspective, not ours. This can lead to pressure to handle things in a way we do not want to and being in a place we do not want to be. Living an unhappy unfilled life where our feelings are ignored and unmet. Resulting in being in a very lonely isolated place.

Love, sex and personal relationships are where we manage our hopes, fears and vulnerabilities. When our connection with ourselves and others is good it feels transformative. When it isn’t it can be extremely distressing. I offer an integrative approach to relationship and psychosexual therapy to work with you, whether single or in a couple. I work with monogamous as well as open/polyamorous relationships. Troubled relationships, arguing, erection issues, loss of desire, anxiety, painful sex, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, or shame about porn use, kinks. This can all change.

Hello, my name is Sean. I am a person-centred therapist. Accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have experience in counselling adults and young people as well as 11 years’ experience supporting people with mental health difficulties.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel emotionally or relationally stuck, unsettled, or caught in painful patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, shame, trauma, loss, intimacy difficulties, trust ruptures, family conflict, or repeated arguments that no longer feel workable. Often they come at a point of rupture or transition, or simply because something doesn’t feel right. They want greater clarity, emotional freedom, stronger boundaries, deeper understanding, and more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

As an Art Psychotherapist, I work from a psychodynamic perspective, paying close attention to how early experiences, unconscious processes, and relational patterns shape current emotional life. I offer a consistent space to explore thoughts, feelings, and internal conflicts with depth and curiosity. Art-making provides an additional route for unconscious material to emerge and be understood. No artistic experience is needed.

You may look capable on the outside — the steady one others rely on — yet privately feel anxious, disconnected, or increasingly strained in your relationships. Often it isn’t just stress, but patterns in communication and attachment that quietly erode closeness over time. Many people begin therapy individually and realise their personal growth is closely linked to their relationships. I offer calm, thoughtful therapy for individuals and couples seeking clarity, depth and lasting change.

Infidelity Counsellors
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.

How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.

How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.

How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
