Biography	I am Katie also known as ‘Kayte’. Are you struggling due to a Sexual Problem, Intimacy anxiety, suffered sexual trauma or feeling like your attachment style is impacting your dating & relationships? Or are you a couple (other relationship structure) who are facing issues after the honeymoon period, after having a child or a betrayal? Are your sexual desires not matching? I understand how hard it can be to decide to seek help and find a therapist, so I offer a 10-15 minute minute free consultation to see if we are the right fit. I’m an empathetic Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with a background in Sexual Health Nursing, giving me extensive experience with Sexual Health conditions and supporting Sexual Assault/Abuse survivors offering a safe space for healing. Additionally, I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate healthy relationships and secure attachments, offering both one-on-one therapy and couple’s sessions. I use an Integrative therapy approach which uses a mix of approaches such as Gestalt, Imago, Cognitive restructuring, based on the clients needs at the time. I am also commencing my training at the Terrence Real Relational Life Therapy Institute which will allow me to work with complex relational issues, relational trauma, high conflict, shame and self esteem issues within couples work. I will be one of the only practitioners in the UK. I do prefer a Psychodynamic approach, considering how your past experiences are impacting your current thoughts, feeling and actions. This is particularly helpful for clients experiencing Sexual Problems or difficulties relationally. I am a Kink & LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. I create a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their issues without fear or shame. Based in London, originally from Yorkshire, I offer UK & Europe wide online sessions and F2F in London. I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of growing up in northern England and the cultural attitudes towards sex and sexuality.

Issues Dealt With	Areas I work with include sexual difficulties such as erectile difficulties or unreliable erections, delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, orgasm difficulties (anorgasmia), anxiety or pressure around sex, mismatched desire, and sexual problems within relationships. I also support clients in rebuilding sexual confidence, reducing shame, and developing a more connected and pleasurable relationship with intimacy. I work with people healing after sexual trauma, assault, abuse, or emotionally abusive relationships, including those struggling with trust, boundaries, self-worth, or feeling emotionally safe again. Therapy can also support people experiencing shame around sex, identity, desire, body image, or the appearance of their genitals, as well as those adjusting to sexual health diagnoses such as herpes or HIV. In relationship therapy, I support couples and individuals with communication difficulties, recurring conflict, attachment and relationship insecurity, recovery after betrayals or infidelity, creating healthy boundaries and relationship agreements, navigating the beginning of relationships, and working towards more conscious and amicable separations where needed. I also work affirmatively with clients exploring kink, BDSM, ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, and polyamory, including the unique emotional, relational, and communication challenges that can arise within these dynamics.
