Sessions are via video on Zoom or in person in Richmond, London Bridge or Islington in London.

There’s no intimate or sexual touch of any kind during our sessions. However, I do sometimes invite my clients to explore some simply body-based exercises which they do on their own or with their partner if they are in the room. For example, breathing more consciously, slowly and deeply as part of a mindfulness practice, or holding hands.

If you’re looking for massage or more intimate contact, or you want stimulation as you touch your own body sexually, I’m not the practitioner for you.

It happens! Talking about sex can be a turn on - and some physical responses, such as an erection are involuntary. As with any professional situation, our sessions are not the place to act on those thoughts or feelings. But I definitely encourage you to explore them consensually outside of our sessions, either alone or with your partner(s).

Alternatively, you may not feel turned on at all, and that can feel strange given the subject matter. That’s also very common and nothing to worry about. How and when we feel sexual depends on many things.

Not at all. You’re welcome to come on your own. In fact, this can be really helpful. I believe that what we bring into a relationship as individuals is just as important as the relationship itself. Talking about issues that concern you, for example gender identity, sexuality, trauma or abuse, are often best discussed outside of your relationships so when it comes to sharing yourself with others, you know what matters to you and what you need from them.

Perhaps you’ve noticed a particular pattern that repeats itself in your relationships, or that being intimate or vulnerable with others is difficult. Exploring what’s going on for you can set you up for future success and happiness.

Yes. Sexuality has many expressions, as do relationships. I’m interested in helping you explore what good sex and relationships mean to you and how to engage with them safely, consensually, passionately, creatively, and with care for yourself and others.

Yes. See above. There can be a lot of guilt or shame when we deviate from perceived sexual ‘norms’. Or if you’re simply curious and want to explore, it can be difficult to know where to start.

I can support you, as well as pointing you towards some great resources to help you play safely.

You can discuss any aspect of your emotional, physical, sexual or spiritual self, although obviously my work focuses on your experiences of love, sex and intimacy. Specifically what you choose to focus on and how deeply is entirely up to you. I offer you a private space within which to explore. Everything you say will always be treated confidentially (unless the law says otherwise).

If you’re talking about a particularly traumatic experience, or one that you know can be triggering for you, I invite you to go slow. Online or in-person, only ever share what you feel totally comfortable sharing. Breathe and stay connected with your body. If you’re not sure how to do that, I can help.

If your emotions get stirred up and there are a lot of difficult feelings after a session, tell me next time we meet. We can talk about them and make sure that we continue at a pace that feels safe for you.

The number of sessions you need depends on what you want to work on. The change you’re looking for might happen quickly, but generally it takes longer to reach a place where you feel able to ‘go it alone’. If you go to a personal trainer, you don’t expect a six-pack after your first session. This is similar. Some things just take time.

However, it definitely helps if you’re committed to the process. It can feel scary to be vulnerable, but I invite you to be brave and honest about what’s going on for you. The more you put in, the more you’re likely to get out.

Once couples have completed their therapy, they often want to have the occasional top-up session to help them stay on track.

No, I’ll never be an expert on your life - that’s your job! My role is to help you find your own unique path, either individually or with a partner/partners. I do that mainly by asking questions that encourage you to think more deeply or in a different way about things.

However, there’s a lot we’re not taught about sex and relationships at school. Because of this, my role can sometimes be educational too. I offer facts and figures to help you understand more of what’s going on for you and your body.

At the start of our sessions, we’ll take time to get really clear on what you want to work on and I’ll check in with you from time to time to make sure you’re getting what you need.

I have regular supervision to ensure that I’m offering my clients the best possible support. Therefore, I may share details of our conversations with my supervisor to get their guidance and support. They are also registered with COSRT and share the same ethical and professional values as me. They won’t disclose your details to anyone else.

Otherwise, anything you say remains completely confidential unless I’m required to share it for legal reasons, or I believe you’re a genuine risk to yourself or others.

It’s unlikely that our confidentiality agreement will need to be broken, but if that happens, as appropriate, we’ll talk about why and what that will involve.

Regarding privacy, when you sign up for therapy, I’ll send you a client contract and privacy statement to read and sign if you’re happy to proceed with therapy.

If you give me at least 24 hours’ notice, we’ll just reschedule your session and no payment will be lost. If I have less than 24 hours’ notice, we can put another date in the diary, but you’ll forfeit the payment for that missed session.

If you’re running late and let me know, I’ll wait for you to show up, although the session will still end at the usual time. If you don’t let me know you’re running late, I’ll wait 15 minutes and then cancel the session and payment for that session will be lost.

If I need to miss a session, I will let you know with as much notice as possible. In this situation, you won’t lose any money for the session missed.

If either you or I have holidays booked, it’s helpful to share this when we first speak. You don’t need to pay for sessions that you miss if you’re on holiday.

No sessions will be recorded without the agreement of everyone involved.
