At stages of our lives, most of us, if not all, experience personal losses and difficulties. It is quite normal to struggle with such issues and to need some help with these.
I help individuals help themselves who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. Men who are addicted to porn and might be using it as a coping mechanism. Client issues I have worked with successfully include porn addiction, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing/fear of rejection. Family fallouts, relationship issues, break-ups, betrayal, abusive and open relationships.
I am a fully qualified, experienced Integrative Counsellor, Sex Addiction Therapist and Meditation Teacher. Using these modalities in a pluralistic way.

What makes me Different to other counsellors?
I have a high success rate with helping men overcome porn/sex addiction having lived experience in this field. I offer a deep, compassionate understanding of 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 professional, ethical, non-judgemental, empathic, supportive, holding space for clients to express themselves fully, seen and heard.
I am very passionate about my work and love what I do. I provide safety for clients, helping them understand compulsive behaviour, triggers, attachment, trauma, negative emotions, feelings, family systems, childhood abuse and neglect.
Help for individuals struggling with Sex Compulsion:
Maybe you are here because you have found the courage to seek help and are ready to make some changes.
Maybe you didn’t know you had a problem till you’ve been caught, or it’s no longer serving you.
Or maybe it is preventing you from getting into or maintaining a healthy relationship with others due to shame?
How can I support you?
I provide a compassionate space to start exploring how you got here and how you can change how the brain craves dopamine and its function with addiction.
Helping you to understand what sex compulsion and porn addiction looks like and how sometimes we use it to avoid negative emotions and feelings. Sometimes, looking for a connection due to loneliness or isolation.
Helping to rebuild trust in your relationship and provide you with ways of communicating safely and honestly with boundaries.
