I am an integrative adult, adolescent and intimate partner Psychotherapist and Sex and Relationship Therapist (Sexologist).
I understand it can be difficult and at times traumatic navigating through life within an environment that is at odds with who and how you are. This can lead to issues such as low self confidence, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues as well as feelings of fear, anger and isolation. The aim of therapy is to break shame cycles and be compassionatly curious.

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

Together, we will work to uncover the ‘why’ behind your struggles—whether they involve trauma, identity, sexuality, or a longing for change—so you can move forward with greater freedom and clarity.
We’ll work together to explore the unconscious patterns that shape your life—including the thoughts you repeat, the history that lingers, and the unhealthy coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. This psychoanalytic exploration helps uncover the roots of anxiety, relational struggles, and feeling stuck, so you can move forward with clarity and freedom.

Contact Via WhatsApp/Email. My focuses are relationships, eating disorders, & addiction. In both our relationships with self and others, most long to experience love, belonging & growth. In relationships and in hardships, I see infinite potential for transformation and evolution: through the stuck places, the old patterns, the failed attempts to connect or feel safe. Underneath, the true you is waiting to be heard through the surface ‘symptoms’. If you can recognise where you’re at, you’re halfway there — and rather than just treating the symptoms, together we listen to what’s underneath, and help you to get free from the root.

With over 14 years of experience, I have helped many people on their unique healing journey. Sometimes we need a place to explore the difficulties that arise in life; whether they are behaviours, feelings, or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. Our mental health can have such a significant impact on the quality of our lives. These challenges come in many forms, including trauma, phobias, bereavement, anxiety, and behavioural issues. Often, it is hard to tell exactly what is wrong, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

Sex Therapy Therapists
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
