| Biography | Psychosexual Therapist, Relationship Therapist, EMDR Therapist, Yoga Therapist, GSRD Therapist, Educator. Over the years, I became a specialist in each of the professional roles that I have held. These fit beautifully, complementing each other helping my clients in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy. My clients learn to feel safe(er) in their body, understand why they are experiencing the problem/s they face, introduce positive changes in their situation and relationship/s. I am Australian, I live globally and am based in the UK. In my Private Practice I work both online, and face to face with clients globally in Intensive Therapy.

| Types of Therapy Used | I am pluralistic, meaning that I have a big bag of tools and choose the right tool for the job. My work as a Yoga Therapist brings a somatic aspect to the work. As an EMDR Therapist, my work is not only Trauma informed, but attends to processing trauma including PTSD and C-PTSD. My knowledge and experience in working in Intensive Behaviour Support as a Teacher also allows me to always be curious about the function of all behaviours which are present. As a GSRD Therapist, (Gender Sexual and Relationship Diversity) I am sex positive and work a lot with people who are LGBTQIA+ .Importantly I work through a bio-psycho-social lens. |
