About me
Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.
My approach
I’ve been a psychosexual therapist for the past 5 years, working with clients to improve their sexual, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Before stepping into private practice I worked as a corporate psychologist for over 10 years. I have an appreciation that understanding you is as much about understanding the world and context that you live in. Clients who work with me develop a deep understanding of who they are now, where they’ve come from, where they want to get to, and how their emotions, thoughts and experiences sit within their bodies. By reconnecting with this physical experience and starting with something concrete, we can work up to how this translates into what happens in your mind, and how to realise the changes you want to see in your life.
Holistic approach to body and mind
I use a holistic approach that combines evidence-based psychological therapies with body based (somatic) approaches that acknowledge the connection between your physical experience and your emotional and mental state. Physical health conditions, life experiences, and stress show up physically as much as psychologically. Recent research has also demonstrated that trauma memory can be stored at the cellular level through somatic memory and that the body retains information from past traumatic experiences. By working together, I can help you understand these connections and create pathways towards change, healing and growth.
Non-judgemental and diversity advocate
I’m non-judgemental and welcoming of people from all walks of life, relationship status, relationship style (monogamous, polyamorous, non-monogamous), religion, ethnicity, sexuality and gender identity. I’m also experienced with people who are neurodiverse. As a sexuality- and neuro- diverse individual myself, I understand many of the stressors and challenges some of my clients face, which better equips me to provide a high standard of clinical care.
My qualifications
I have numerous qualifications that enable me to provide a comprehensive, holistic and evidence-based service to my clients.
