I provide a compassionate space for clients struggling with the effects of sex and porn use and seek to address the root causes which so often impact the ability to start and/or sustain relationships, which can lead to isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem, and other struggles as a consequence of this addiction. I aim to encourage empowerment to overcome these struggles to achieve sobriety and essentially, recovery.
I also provide support to partners of those addicted. Common responses upon discovering their partner has an addiction include: feeling betrayed, hurt, shocked and angry. Feeling like they are the only one this is happening to can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
I am an accredited Sexual and Relationship Therapist. I specialise in working compulsive sexual and/or relationship behaviours (e.g. porn, sex, fantasy, romance, and love addiction), specific sexual practices, sexual function, and maladaptive daydreaming. My background is in behavioural neuroscience, and sexuality education. I am dedicated to helping you explore what is okay for you and develop your version of a happy, healthy sense of satisfying relationships and sexual experience. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), and EMDR UK and EMDR Europe.
Harley Street expertise, delivered online
Sex is a natural, normal and enjoyable part of our lives, but sometimes it can become something that feels out of control, damaging and destructive. Some people find themselves addicted to porn, watching it for hours every day, and as a result their work and their relationships suffer. Others become addicted to having sex with strangers or with escorts. They find themselves spending huge amounts of money, putting themselves and their partners at risk of sexually transmitted diseases and damaging their relationships. When sex feels like it has become out of control, then it is time to seek help.
As a leading expert on sex and porn addiction, I work with individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. I provide an innovative treatment programme for sex addicts, based upon a range of therapeutic approaches which have been proven to work. Sex addiction is usually a maladjusted way of managing difficult emotions, and I help clients to understand why they are using sex in a compulsive manner, so that they can get to the bottom of their addiction. I work with them on a programme designed to stop harmful sexual behaviour and to redevelop a healthy relationship with sex.
As an experienced psychosexual and relationship therapist, I have worked with hundreds of clients struggling with sexual addiction and sexual dysfunction. My training includes an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy. I am a BACP Registered member and am also a supervisor.
Prior to the pandemic, I offered treatment programmes at my clinic in Harley Street, Central London, in Surrey, and online. As my practice has expanded to serve clients worldwide, I am currently working exclusively online. This approach increases flexibility, cuts out travel time for clients, and allows therapy to continue during periods of physical absence. Many clients also say that they find it easier to open up when working online, as opposed to face-to-face.
Please do contact me to arrange an initial consultation.
I am an experienced counsellor working with both individuals and couples and have a special interest in working with those who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours.

I offer sessions on Skype, Zoom and telephone as well as face to face.
My qualifications include an ISAT Diploma in Sex Addiction Counselling, Diploma in Person Centred Counselling. Post graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Certificate in Couples Counselling and IAPT Certificate/licence in counselling for Depression.

I am a Relate trained counsellor and sex therapist with over 18 years experience. I specialise in helping those with problematic porn and sex addiction issues, including compulsive viewing of pornography, using chat lines, visiting prostitutes and escorts, exhibitionism, voyeurism, compulsive masturbation, fetishes, anonymous sex, telephone sex, sexting and viewing illegal images.
I provide a secure and non-judgmental, non-shaming space – somewhere that you can feel safe to explore feelings and identify the problems you are facing.
I work with clients whose sexual behaviour is affecting their personal, financial or work life, to make sense of their behaviour and the real impact it has on their lives. I help clients put strategies in place to support their recovery. Often it’s not stopping, but staying away that’s a huge challenge.
I also support couples to rebuild trust and communication, and when they are ready, help them re-introduce intimacy into their relationships.
Discovering that your partner’s sexual behaviour is out of control can be devastating and difficult to cope with alone. I work with partners to help them understand and manage these difficult experiences.

I am an ATSAC qualified therapist, based just outside the town of Windsor in Berkshire. I am able to provide one-to-one therapy, either face-to-face or online, working with people experiencing sex addiction. I can also offer individual counselling for anyone affected by another person’s addiction.
Previously I have been a primary sex therapist at a private 12-Step residential rehabilitation clinic, located in Surrey. I have also worked in Hong Kong with cross-addicted stimulant users/sex addicts and have a vast experience of working with sex addicts presenting with a wide range of compulsive behaviours. Through years of both personal and professional experience of addiction/cross-addiction, I have gained the skills and knowledge to help both the person experiencing addiction and the family and friends affected by it.
My private practice is located in a quiet residential street, with free on-street parking.
I work with individuals and couples in my established private practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. I work with clients with pornography and other sex addictions and with partners impacted by these issues. I also work with sex offenders. In addition to addiction/offending I work with personal issues such as anxiety and depression; couple issues such as repetitive rows or the discovery of an affair; and sexual issues such as loss of desire or physical problems. I am a qualified sex therapist.
I am an accredited BACP member; a senior accredited COSRT member; a member of ATSAC and a registered therapist with StopSo. I am also an accredited supervisor with COSRT.
I have trained as a psychosexual and relationship therapist through Relate, and with Dr Birchard in the area of compulsive and addictive sexual behaviours.
Additionally I have a qualification in assessment and treatment for people with inappropriate sexual behaviours and have been writing reports for the criminal justice system and Social Services for fifteen years.
My approach is CBT orientated (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and clients are encouraged to complete exercises at home as a means to moving forward more swiftly.
My background is as a specialist relationship and couples counsellor with over thirty years’ experience.
I now also work with individuals and/or their partners where pornography, online sexual encounters, multiple sexual liaisons or use of sex workers is negatively affecting their lives and relationships. I have a level 5 Diploma in Sex Addiction Counselling through the Institute for Sex Addiction Training (ISAT) and awarded by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB).
Couples counselling has been described as ‘like piloting a helicopter in a hurricane’. Hence the necessity for an expert therapist experienced in the skills required. I also provide relationship counselling privately having, until recently, worked for Relate (with whom I qualified in 1996).
Sexual issues, affairs and betrayal, separation and divorce, communication patterns, life stage changes, ‘the neglected relationship’, pornography, online chat and sex addiction, grief and loss and ‘creating something better’ are some of the many relationship issues I encounter. Look at my website ‘Case Scenarios’ tab for examples. http://www.migbennettrelationshipcounselling.co.uk/case-scenarios/
I am based in Crowborough, TN6, and generally work with clients from East Sussex and West Kent. I also am able to work using Zoom or similar.
I am a fully accredited psychotherapist who has been practising for over 20 years. I am highly qualified and have extensive experience in relationship counselling specialising in COSRT-approved psychosexual therapy, and ATSAC-accredited sex addiction therapy for both individuals and couples. I use Relate principles within my marriage guidance approach and have trained under Paula Hall on Sex Addiction programmes to help my clients build stronger relationships with a restored foundation of intimacy and trust.
My counselling service emphasises an integrative therapeutic approach recognising the importance of overcoming the detrimental physical, social and emotional components often associated with either a relationship or an individual’s breakdown. In my sphere of work, this is often due to a lack of sexual desire, loss or lack of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, a communication breakdown, sexual abuse or trauma and increasingly a distressing sex addiction.
I guarantee a safe, confidential, and welcoming environment where can build a brighter happier and more fulfilling future together.
Clients may choose in-person counselling services at my Wisborough Green practice near Billingshurst, West Sussex, or nationwide virtual therapy services via Skype, FaceTime, or telephone.
