Gottman Referral Network

About

I specialise in sex, relationships and communication.

My clients live very many diverse lifestyles and range in age from early 20s to retirees.We talk about all sorts of highly personal issues. Often people say, "I've never told anyone this before." Their concerns include love and loss, relationship problems, intimacy, affairs, communication, sexual difficulties (e.g. erectile problems, libido, arousal and orgasm difficulties), past sexual and other trauma, sexual attractions and gender identity, unwanted sexual behaviours and many more.

I am a nationally registered clinical counsellor, which means you are guaranteed I have a high level of training, experience and on-going professional development.

This is combined with my broad life and work experience. All of which helps me to understand your situation while lending a practical edge to our discussions – a commonsense approach to your real-life issues.

In therapy, my approach is based on research into what works. But science is only useful if it helps us with your problems and your goals. That’s why I tailor our sessions just for you as a unique person with unique issues.

We do “talking therapy” using an “integrative” approach, with tools from a wide variety of therapies. You might fill in questionnaires, do activities alone, or with your partner at home. Sometimes, straightforward, factual information is helpful. Sometimes, we might talk more about the past, other times we might work more in the present.

Dignity, ethical boundaries and respect are maintained on both sides, and you are helped and encouraged to move on to a more fulfilling future.
