You may be considering therapy because of a specific difficulty, such as relationship concerns, intimacy issues, bereavement, anxiety, or low self-esteem. You may also be feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day life or finding it difficult to understand your emotions, patterns, or needs.
You might wish to work with a therapist for a short period of time, or you may be looking to build a longer therapeutic relationship. This may be your first experience of therapy, or you may be returning to therapy following previous experiences.
All of these experiences are welcome.
I am an integrative counsellor specialising in psychosexual therapy, offering support for emotional, relational, and intimacy-related difficulties. My work draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), psychodynamic, relational, and person-centred perspectives, allowing the therapy to be tailored to your individual needs.
My aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore emotional, relational, and sexual concerns at your own pace. I work both short- and long-term, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Areas I work with include:
- Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
- Relationship and communication difficulties
- Intimacy and sexual concerns
- Performance anxiety and arousal difficulties
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Identity and life transitions
- Bereavement and loss
- Attachment and relational patterns
- Shame, guilt, and difficulties around desire
- Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected
