I am a member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) which is the largest accrediting body of Sex & Relationship Therapists in the UK. I also am a member with the Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS) I honour all gender, sexual orientations, and relationship diversities (GSRD). I am a queer, kink-knowledgeable therapist and I take a sex positive approach to compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography use. This is a safe space for you.
Sexologists and Relationship Therapists are a particularly specialist and small group of Psychotherapists.
I am pluralistic in my approach, meaning that I draw on many different tools to meet the needs of the person/ people whom I am working with. I use the Bio/ Psycho/ Social model in approaching each individual’s problem to gain a comprehensive understanding of needs.
