| Biography | I’m a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapist accredited with COSRT and registered with the BACP. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Psychosexual Therapist at Leicester Sexual Health Services within Midlands Partnership NHS Trust. Previously my work background has been in mental health working on acute wards- psychiatric units, forensic units and dementia mental health care. Also teaching college level forensic psychology. I am intent on breaking barriers around the conversation of pleasure and how there is no one right way to participate, enjoy and engage in giving and receiving pleasure. I believe sexuality to be the essence of self-expression and work towards removing shame and stigma around sex. I am a kink affirmative therapist coming from a background as a former sex worker in the kink/fetish areana plus multiple other categories of the sex work industry. I am passionate about demystifying this area, smashing through the taboo and bringing awareness to the niche preferences that many enjoy partaking in for all kinds of pleasure. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community and pride myself on being all inclusive while creating a safe, non-judgmental space for all. I am a narcissism aware therapist who works with individuals that have been in relationships with narcissistic partners and are dealing with the aftermath of this. I also work with couples currently experiencing the possibility of these traits being present within one or more partners and how to navigate the dynamic so everyone’s needs are met. I work pluralistically from a contemporary biopsychosocial framework which incorporates all aspects of self. My goal is to look at a person holistically (as a whole) while tailoring therapy, rejecting the idea of “box fitting” and working collaboratively with my clients to insight confidence and empowerment in their own autonomy. I work with GSRD clients, all sexual function issues, compulsive sexual behaviours, sexuality/sexual orientation, diversity and intersectionality’s, sexual violence/trauma, shame, couples and multiple partner relationships on issues such as conflict management, communication difficulties, separation, infidelity, ethical non monogamy/polyamory, jealousy/compersion, mismatched desire and more! I work online ONLY. If you would like to know more, then please email me to set up a free consultation. |
