I will work with you to find an understanding of your concerns, your deeper needs and how they are affecting your relationships through the professional connection we will make.
You might need to find a new balance after a time of crisis, or address issues that are causing unhappiness, pain, distress, or lingering dissatisfaction. You might be aware of repeating arguments and a sense of “here we go again” with no resolution, or beginning to see repeating patterns emerge in other areas of your life but not be sure how to change these things.
Many people bring past expectations and experiences into their present relationships and this may lead to feelings of being misunderstood, unheard and of loneliness. All of which can affect the sense of who we are; our authentic self.
It is this relation to the ’self’ that is sometimes most troubling as our capacity for resilience endures; but at a cost to who we want to be, or the way we want to our lives to be lived.
Some of the issues I work with:

Psychosexual Therapy
Many people find talking about sex very difficult and subsequently it tends not to be at the forefront of our day to day conversations! Consequently, we avoid it.
I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgmental opportunity to explore difficulties that you may be experiencing and welcome diversity in all it’s forms. Typically the issues that clients may struggle with are:-
- Erectile Disorder (getting and/or maintaining an erection).
- Anorgasmia (the inability to orgasm).
- Premature or Retarded Ejaculation (ejaculating too quickly or delayed ejaculation).
- Asexuality or Sexual Identity Issues (what’s right for you).
- Vaginismus (difficulty with penetrative sex).
- Loss of Desire (”Gone off it”).
- Dyspareunia (pain on intercourse that can be experienced by both men and women).
- Uncomfortable sexual desire (difficulty reconciling fantasy).
- Sexual Compulsion (frequency, or type of sex is causing difficulty but the compulsion to act on it seems difficult to manage).
Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy

Family Counselling
Working with the family as a system that sometimes adopts patterns of enacting that become less productive, and sometimes distressing. Subsequently home-life can be stressful and fails to offer the respite we need.
