As a Sexual and Relationship Psychotherapist I work with many individuals and couples to help them address concerns and find greater contentment in their sexual and relationship lives. I have over 16 years’ experience of helping people to address their concerns, from relatively straightforward to complex issues.

I use each individual assessment to work with clients in developing a comprehensive formulation to guide the most suitable therapeutic programme to address their specific wellbeing, psychosexual or relationship concerns. 

This includes understanding of the range of life, family and relationship transitions, psychosexual as well medical treatment approaches, including
