Throughout the stages of our lives, most of us, if not all, experience personal losses, struggles and difficulties. It is quite normal to struggle with such issues and to need some help with these to move forward in life.

I support individuals to help themselves who are struggling with compulsive and addictive sexual behaviours. Men aged 18 – 60 who are addicted to porn might be using it as a coping mechanism to avoid difficult feelings. Some client issues I work with regularly include alcohol & drug addiction, porn addiction, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, grief and loss, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, fear of rejection and abandonment. Family scapegoating, bullying, relationship issues, break-ups, betrayal, open relationships, loneliness, emotional neglect, difficulty setting boundaries and recovery from divorce or separation.

I am a qualified, experienced Integrative Counsellor, Sex Addiction Therapist and Meditation Teacher who’s been in private practice for 3 years and been counselling since 2019.

I use counselling modalities in a pluralistic way, as one size doesn’t fit all with clients. Using CBT, Psychodynamic theory, Person-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Inner child healing, and meditation visualisation exercises. REBT and Compassionate Enquiry.

I have successfully supported clients in the areas of porn addiction, drug addiction and alcohol dependency, grief and loss, people pleasing, bereavement, relationship break-ups, conflict, family systems, betrayal, anxiety, depression, rage, difficulties setting boundaries, unhealthy relationships, victims of bullying and abuse, issues with self-esteem and self-worth. Betrayal, fear of conflict, lack of intimacy & sex, trust issues like jealousy.

Partners’ porn use, partner visiting sex workers. Swinging, revenge porn, webcams, open relationships, sugar babes and sugar daddies. Open relationships, poly relationships, Bisexual and gay relationships.

What makes me Different to other counsellors?

I’ve had a lot of success with helping men overcome drugs, alcohol, porn/sex addiction, having lived experience in this field. I offer a compassionate approach, empathy with the presence of others’ feelings and emotions, as I know what it’s like to struggle with addiction and mental health issues. My way of being is honest, congruent, professional, ethical, non-judgmental, empathic and supportive. I hold space for clients to express themselves, to be seen, heard and understood.

I am passionate about this work and love what I do. I provide safety for clients, helping them understand addiction, compulsive behaviour, triggers, attachment styles, childhood trauma, negative emotions, feelings, family systems, childhood abuse, shame, guilt and neglect.

I currently work with diverse clients from different age groups, backgrounds and cultures. I support couples dealing with betrayal, lack of intimacy, lack of sex and want to resolve their relationship/marriage issues. Couples where partners’ porn use is affecting the relationship, communication issues, problems of betrayal and trust.

I am a fully registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
