About Me

I am a fully qualified psychosexual and relationship therapist with experience of working with a diverse range of clients. I have worked for the NHS, Terrence Higgins Trust and Ealing Abbey Counselling Service working with individuals and people in intimate partnerships (or "couples") from a range of backgrounds.

My pronouns are she/her. I am LGBTQIA+ aware, educated and knowledgeable with lived experience of both short and long term relationships with people of all genders. As an active member of the BDSM/Kink community I am highly knowledgeable in this area and have lived experience of the complexities of relationships within the community.

I identify as solo poly. I have an ever growing understanding and knowledge of relationship diversity from swinging and "monogamish" relationships to hierarchial and non-hierarchial polyamory.

I have experience of providing in depth long-term therapy on complex issues such as the effects of conversion therapy, as well as providing short term therapy for the NHS.

I feel my strengths are working with LGBTQIA+ clients, those in the BDSM/Kink community, with polyamorous clients and with conflict in relationships.

I am from a proud neurodiverse family. I continue to educate myself on working with neurodiverse clients and to support and listen to the needs of neurodiverse people.

I have a good understanding of Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity and of intersectionality (for example I am aware that the life experience of a British born Chinese bisexual woman with a trans history will be very different to a white, cisgender bisexual, British Caucasian woman).

Issues I work with

I work integratively, combining different approaches (such as Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic, Existential Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy). I have worked with a variety of complex issues and psychosexual presentations including:

  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Compulsive sexual behaviour (also known as "sex addiction")
  • Vaginismus
  • Low sexual desire
  • Rapid ejaculation
  • Absent or delayed ejaculation
  • Kinks and fetishes
  • Sexual abuse
  • Sexual phobias
  • Dysparenia (painful sex)
  • Polyamory and open relationships
  • Living with HIV and other STDs
  • Chemsex
  • Conflict and communication issues in relationships (for people currently in relationships and for those who aren't)
  • Relationship insecurity

How I work

  • I aim to create a sex positive, welcoming and non-judgemental space for clients to discuss their thoughts and feelings.
  • I have had many years of personal therapy myself and appreciate how difficult it can be to discuss sex and relationships with a therapist.
  • I will tailor my approach to best meet your needs and to balance the need for emotional support with challenges to negative ways of thinking.
  • I aim to create positive and long lasting change in the relationships and sex lives of the clients I see.
