Sex therapy is at the core of the work I do. I offer a focused sex therapy approach that aims for specific, measurable changes. This is often shorter-term therapy, targeting present-day challenges, as opposed to long-term psychotherapy. While the work may touch on exploratory psychotherapy around underlying patterns and meanings in thoughts and behaviors to gain deeper self-understanding, I do not offer open-ended, long-term, or generic psychotherapy.
My aim is to support men to better understand their relationship with sex, and to find a vision for sexual health they feel good about, and in control of. My approach is informed by professional training in evidence-based sexology, psychotherapy & clinical nursing practice gained over 30 years.
I understand that life can be challenging and sometimes we all need support to navigate difficult times. I invite you to explore my website to learn more about me and how we might work together.
