How It Works
I.
Get in touch
It starts with you making contact. You can email me with a little about what brings you to therapy, and we can arrange a free initial conversation to discuss whether working together feels like the right fit. There is no obligation to continue.
III.
Working Together
We’ll arrange an initial session where we can talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like from the process and any questions you may have. It is also an opportunity for us to get a sense of whether we feel comfortable working together and to discuss practicalities such as confidentiality, boundaries and how sessions will work.
II.
Our First Session
If we decide to continue, we’ll meet regularly and explore what feels important to you at your own pace. Therapy can change as you do, so we can review our work together along the way. There is no fixed number of sessions — endings can be discussed when you feel ready, with space to reflect on the work and what you want to take forward.
About Me
I'm a qualified integrative psychotherapist (MBACP), currently training in psychosexual and relationship therapy & sex and porn addiction therapy. All specialist work is undertaken under regular clinical supervision.
Who I work with:
Whatever you bring to therapy, I will meet you without judgement or assumption.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, your relationship, sex, or porn use, feeling understood can be a first step towards change.
Individuals
I offer integrative therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and other forms of emotional distress, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, and attachment theory. I also work with psychosexual concerns and with compulsive sexual behaviours, including sex and porn addiction. Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore these experiences. My psychosexual and addiction work is undertaken as a trainee therapist under clinical supervision.
Couples
I offer relationship therapy for couples experiencing difficulties with communication, conflict, trust, or intimacy. This may include psychosexual concerns or the impact of compulsive sexual behaviours, including sex and porn addiction, on the relationship. The work attends to each partner’s experience and the dynamics between you, without apportioning blame. My psychosexual, relationship, and addiction work is undertaken as a trainee therapist under clinical supervision.
Specialist areas:
I provide relationship therapy for adults, individually or as a couple, at my practice in Leeds and online. This may include support with communication difficulties, recurring conflict, loss of connection, infidelity and other breaches of trust, significant life changes, and uncertainty about the future of a relationship. If you attend as a couple, we will explore each partner’s experience and the patterns between you, without taking sides. If you attend individually, we will focus on your experience of your relationships and the patterns that may recur within them. In both cases, we can consider how past experiences and attachment may be shaping the present, and what you want for your relationships going forward.
Relationship Therapy
I provide psychosexual therapy for adults, individually or as a couple, at my practice in Leeds and online. This may include support with erectile difficulties, early or delayed ejaculation, pain during sex, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, and changes in or differences between levels of desire. Using a biopsychosocial approach, we will explore the physical, psychological, relational, and social factors that may be contributing to these concerns. Together, we can work towards understanding what is happening and what a more satisfying sexual life could mean for you.
Psychosexual Therapy
I provide therapy for adults experiencing compulsive sexual behaviour, often described as sex or porn addiction, at my practice in Leeds and online. Using a biopsychosocial approach, we will explore the biological, psychological, and social factors that may be contributing to your behaviour. I also offer support to partners and couples affected by these difficulties. Together, we can work towards understanding what is happening, what may be driving it, and what recovery could mean for you.
