Why Choose a Sex and Relationship Therapist?
Are you looking for support from a professional trained in a specialist field to help you work through specific issues?
As an experienced regCOSRT Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, I have trained to a high professional standard, specialising in the themes of sex, intimacy and relationship problems and have studied extensively in this field.
While many therapists may advertise that they work in this area, my extensive, specialist training allows me to offer a depth of expertise and a unique, proactive approach that sets my practice apart.
How I Work
I offer a Non Traditional Approach to Sex and Relationship Therapy, in that I don't just sit and listen to the issues you are having week after week without direction; instead I provide active, proactive support.
I focus on understanding the specific details of the challenges you are facing. I offer Goal-Focused, Short-Term Therapy designed to get to the heart of the matter quickly and effectively.
In our sessions, I work in a way that is compassionate, honest and lovingly assertive. I am dedicated to helping you understand your current patterns and, more importantly, providing the tools to help you work through them, whether in Individual Sessions or Couples Therapy.
Short-Term Therapy
Many sex and relationship concerns, whether individual sessions or couple therapy can sometimes be resolved in within 8 to 12 sessions.
Therapy is about gaining awareness of the issues you are facing, to planning an outcome or goal you are hoping to achieve from therapy.
Whether you are working towards a specific goal just needing a few sessions or you require longer-term support, I will support you.
Couples Therapy
Long-term relationship conflicts often require a deeper level of support through specialist couples therapy.
I use relational, evidence-based therapeutic tools to guide you through the cycles of harmony, disharmony, and repair. Helping you break free from unhealthy patterns you may have fallen into. Results can happen as fast as 3 months if you are open to the work.
My aim is to help you move towards a place of genuine understanding and mutual appreciation, fostering a deeper and more lasting connection.
