For different reasons, many individuals find it daunting to seek help and psychological support. I am currently training in the specialist field of sex and relationship therapy, providing support for psychosexual topics, which can be especially daunting to talk about.

I am qualified in Psychosynthesis counselling and draw on several ways of working according to your need, tailoring my approach individually. On BetterHelp I focus on helping clients cope with a range of psychosexual issues, including the following sex and relationship topics:

Compulsive Sexual Behaviour

Concerns relating to sexuality or gender identity

Concerns with kinks and fetishes

Delayed Ejaculation

Erection Problems

Fertility related concerns

Low Desire

Orgasm problems in female bodied people

Premature/Early Ejaculation

Pain and Penetration Problems

Sexual health related concerns

(If the issues you have are not related to intimacy, sex and relationships, you can change therapists by clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the therapy page, and choosing “Change therapist” from the drop-down menu. Make sure you specify in the feedback what you are looking for. If you have any trouble with this, please reach out to the Member Success Team at [email protected] )

If we decide to work together, you will commit to a minimum of six sessions as an ongoing weekly appointment. We will review before the sixth session whether you have a need to continue. The overall length of counselling is open-ended and varies for each individual. It could be contained within the six sessions at a minimum or longer, depending on client-centred needs.

Quality of counselling offered is of utmost importance to me and I abide by the BACP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice and COSRT Code of Ethics and Practice.

I have personally experienced my life change from psychotherapy and believe yours will too.
