| Biography | I am an experienced NHS psychosexual therapist. I have recently started a small private practice limited to Monday’s (face to face /online). I work with individual adults or relationships experiencing difficulties with their sexual life, living in Oxfordshire or within the UK. I can provide non-judgmental, down to earth, sex positive support. Together we can navigate some of the challenges that surround sexual difficulties and support you to make positive changes. My psychosexual approach has similar principles to cognitive behavioural therapy. I work in a short or medium term, focused way. My practice is trauma informed. Working with a large range of people within different sexual health clinics for over 20yrs,(originally as a sexual health adviser and later as a psychosexual therapist), has provided me with a comprehensive knowledge of medical approaches to sexual health and sexual difficulties. It also expanded my understanding of the range and uniqueness of sexual lives. My approach considers sex as a body, mind and brain concept influenced by our relationships with others. Please email me if you have enquiries. |
