Individual Counselling

Counselling is a talking therapy that provides you with a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk, explore, heal and grow. Developing self-awareness and taking responsibility for how we feel and behave. It takes courage to look at ourselves honestly and demonstrates as human beings, our willingness and capacity for change and transformation.

Sometimes it’s just about being listened to and being heard. Emotional health is more important than ever, and how we feel about ourselves, directly impacts our quality of life.

Typical presenting issues include

Anxiety and depression
Stuckness and lack of meaning
Personal development and self-esteem concerns
Life stages and crises
Work stresses
Relationship issues

Psychosexual Therapy

With psychosexual therapy, the focus is on sexual health and wellbeing in all aspects rather than a focus on sexual dysfunction.

When it comes to sex and how we feel about it, we can sit too long in the intolerable continuum of shame and vulnerability which affects our sexual health and well-being.

My training is based on the integrative homeodynamic model which is a humanistic model of psychosexual therapy. This means, I will draw on different schools and models of psychotherapy and ways of working with human behaviour. I explore the dynamics of mind, body, brain and emotions, individually and in depth as required, including trauma, within the context of your sexuality.

The homeodynamic model for sexuality is sex positive; it promotes the pleasure principle and challenges sexual shame.

It integrates current thinking across multi-disciplinary fields, including psychotherapy, systemic therapy, neuroscience, cognitive-behavioural therapy, complementary therapies, and traditional Eastern and Western sexual and relationship theory.

I have experience of seeing clients from all backgrounds and a variety of presenting issues, for example but not restricted to:

Erectile dysfunction
Rapid or delayed ejaculation
GPPD (what used to be called vaginismus).
Gender identity
Coming out
Transgender/transition issues

Relationship & Couples Counselling

In relationship counselling I see both individuals and couples. Quite often, people can get stuck in a way of communicating and it feels like you’ve hit a wall (of resentment or anger) or feel you aren’t being heard.

Without outside help, it can feel overwhelming. Our emotional resilience and mental capacity has been compromised to the point we may want to give up or there is constant conflict without resolution.

Affairs and infidelities and post affair recovery
Communication difficulties
Cultural differences and expectations
Sexual differences (including respective sex drives/preferences)
Facilitating a civil separation (especially if children involved)
Sexual healing from trauma, both individual and couples
Resuming sensual and sexual intimacy

We always look at communication first and as to what is behind the silence or the conflict? Learning new ways to relate, understand and communicate, can transform your relationship and build a more realistic foundation going forward.

I work with any couple, honouring heterosexuality and non-heteronormative expressions, identities and lifestyles within the relationship. I support both of you while working through personal and shared difficulties.

Consultancy & Workshops

Having worked for small, medium and global organisations for 20 years plus I am very familiar with the corporate environment. I have experience of working with professionals and tailoring my offering accordingly. I can provide therapy, training and consultancy to meet the needs of individuals and organisations.

Through my experiences I have observed how the provision of appropriate therapeutic supports can assist individuals and organisations to experience great satisfaction as they participate in their activities of daily living and to achieve their goals.

I am available for one off or a series of consultations as well as group workshops.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss.
