ABOUT ME

I am an experienced psychotherapist specialising in helping couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship or sexual difficulties.

 

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to freely explore these sensitive issues as well as practical help and support to help you overcome your problems.

​

I work in a holistic, sex positive way with all clients regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability.
