| Biography | I am a welcoming and creative practitioner of Psychosexual and Relationship therapy, working with both couples and individuals. I take an integrative approach to my counselling and psychosexual work- I embody the core principles of care, respect and dignity towards my clients, always mindful of the intimate nature of therapy and the sensitive topic matter that clients often present. I draw on my diverse skill set from a number of years within the education sector as well as my counselling training that combined a number of therapeutic schools of thought, including humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
