About
I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and hold the ATSAC professional Certificate for Treating Sexual Addiction. I work with individuals who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours including paraphiliac urges. These can range from, viewing online Pornography, having multiple sexual encounters or sexual urges towards children. I also work with the partners of addicted individuals suffering from these behaviours. I have vast clinical experience of working with men who have committed sexual online or contact offence's. I offer therapy sessions in Stratford-upon-Avon and Nationally via Zoom.
If you are feeling nervous about entering therapy I can assure you that this is quite normal and there is nothing to worry about and after the initial session this will pass. I am also a qualified Supervisor for Counsellors and Psychotherapists who work within this area of expertise, and I currently have availability for Supervisee's.
Entering therapy, especially when talking about such a private and sensitive topic can be very daunting. With this in mind it is always my intention to help you feel safe and at ease and to not feel judged. I work in a warm and empathic way allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings no matter how dark they may be.
