I offer therapy to individuals, couples, partners and family members affected by addictive and compulsive behaviours. I am an experienced psychotherapist and supervisor and am a sex and relationship therapist. I believe the source of most addictive and compulsive processes originate in a disconnection from self and others. Engagement in addictive and compulsive behaviours further alienate and create shame. I have particular interest and experience of working with trauma, shame reduction, and building resilience I work with those who have difficulty in establishing or maintaining relationships and with co-dependency.
I am an integrative psychotherapist, having gained an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Regent’s University London, I went on to study with Paula Hall at The Laurel Centre for a Diploma in Sex Addiction and Compulsivity.
I have worked for many years with individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, with GSRD (Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity) issues which include; sex addiction and compulsive behaviours around pornography and BDSM/kink/fetish desires, as well as Chemsex and other drug related ‘out of control’ behaviours. Many aspects of these behaviours involve online, app-based and club scene related activities, as well as, issues around private chill-out events. More information can be found on my website http://www.lgbtplus.co.uk
Chemsex is a complex issue and one that I consistently see affecting gay men within my private practice. As an integrative psychotherapist I work holistically with you, in a humanistic and relational way to connect with you, to understand what is behind these issues, as well as identifying coping strategies to help in the here and now. Methodologies include; Person Centred, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness.
I have also worked with male sex workers involved in escorting, online video/private subscription sites and studio pornography production, some of whom wish to leave the sex industry. Issues around self-esteem and self-worth, combined with excessive drug and alcohol use are common.
My work with SurvivorsUK involved working with men who had been sexually abused as children or raped as adults. Issues included, sex addiction and compulsivity, pornography, sexual orientation, self-harm, flashbacks and anger.
I am a registered member of UKCP and BACP.
Sessions can either be arranged in-person at my office in Belsize Park NW3 or via Zoom on a secure video link.
I am an integrative therapist and work with individuals, partners and couples in-person at my practice in London and online nationwide. I provide counselling in a confidential, non-judgemental and safe environment.
I am a COSRT accredited Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist, qualified member of ATSAC, and a UKCP registered Contemporary Psychotherapist. I am also a COSRT registered Clinical Supervisor.
As my website http://www.londonsexaddictiontherapy.co.uk reflects, I’m an integrative, accredited psychosexual and relationship therapist with vast experience at working successfully with with all kinds of sexual compulsivity including issues around porn, escorts, with BDSM, fetish and illegal habits. I’m warm, down to earth, unshockable and have a lot ways to help you gain control of your triggers and work out what you want from love, sex and your life in general.
My qualifications include a PGDip in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, an advanced diploma in couples therapy, a certificate in sex addiction and compulsivity and training in “alternative” sexualities with Pink Therapy. I’ve featured in publications including The Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Sun and Men’s Health. I’ve also been a guest on LBC and Radio 4’s Women’s Hour.
Sex should be a natural, enjoyable part of life. But for some it becomes an addiction or compulsion. I work with people, perhaps like you, to help them return to a fulfilling sexual life.
I also work with those who feel their sexual drive may be unnatural. My office is in Canary Wharf (E14) and I see clients from all over London and surrounding counties.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is the principle therapeutic approach I use but I will also introduce other counselling techniques as appropriate. The first counselling session can be daunting so I carefully tailor this meeting to ensure that clients feel as comfortable as possible. I will explain what they can expect and what will be expected of them. In this way they begin to take back control of their lives.
I specialise in working with people who are struggling with sex addiction, CSBD and sexually diverse behaviour.I also work with partners who are experiencing the trauma of discovery.
Is internet use getting out of control? Hours potentially lost to sexual fantasy.The impact on relationships or future relationships devastating? I know it can feel hopeless and you have possibly tried many times to stop but keep finding yourself back on the cycle because sometimes life can feel too difficult.
There is often a history of trauma or family issues which continues to impact on adult life and relationships. I want to help you understand the "why?" and to find the strength and also the self belief that you can get into a healthy recovery.
