| Biography | Reaching out for support with sexual problems takes a lot of courage. Together we can navigate some of the challenges that surround sexual problems. I can support you with a non-judgmental, down to earth, sex positive approach to increase understanding of your sexual life and explore possible changes and opportunities you may want to make. I am an experienced NHS psychosexual (sex) therapist. I have recently started a small private practice limited to Monday’s (face to face /online). I work with individual adults or relationships experiencing sexual problems, living in Oxfordshire (face to face )or within the UK (online). My psychosexual (sex therapy) approach has similar principles to cognitive behavioural therapy. Using a range of approaches, I work in a short or medium term, focused way. My practice is kink aware and trauma informed. I have supported a diverse range of people attending different sexual health clinics for over 20yrs. This provided me with a comprehensive knowledge of medical approaches to sexual health and sexual problems. This experience expanded my understanding of the range and uniqueness of sexual lives. My approach considers sex (and sexual problems) as a body, mind and brain concept influenced by our relationships with others. Please email me if you have enquiries. |
