If sex is a struggle or your relationships are leaving you feeling alone, confused, frustrated or sad, let's talk. As a Psychosexual & Relationship therapist, I offer tailored sessions to individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations. From painful sex and low libido to conflict, infidelity or communication issues, I can help you work through the most tender, difficult thoughts and feelings to embrace a stronger, clearer, more confident version of you on the other side. Whatever you're experiencing, there’ll be no judgement. Just compassion, warmth, and the willingness to really listen to what you’ve got to say.
I draw on different therapeutic approaches to offer you a therapy journey that's tailored to you. With my background as a writer, I can also help you have the conversations that count, find the right words to express yourself, and share confidently and clearly with your loved ones what you need to feel happy, safe, understood and fulfilled.
I know that sharing intimate details about your life can feel really uncomfortable, but so too is navigating hurt, pain, frustration or grief without support. You haven’t failed and you’re no less of a person for not finding this easy. Online or in person, let’s explore the possibilities of what sex and relationships could be – and how you can get there.
