I am one of a small number of practitioners in the UK who is dually qualified as a chartered psychologist and a clinical sexologist/sex therapist. My clients may seek help for a specific sexual difficulty such as desire or arousal concerns; or may experience broader distress such as anxiety, low self esteem or perfectionism which also manifests in their sexual and relational world. My specialist interest in sexual difficulties emerged naturally from my interdisciplinary background of psychology and physiology.

Have you ever found yourself constantly thinking about food and weight? Does it seem like the more you try to control your eating, the more you end up bingeing? Maybe you overeat in secret or alone and then feel guilty about it? Or perhaps you've tried every diet, even thought about weight loss injections or considered bariatric surgery? I've been there too. I understand how you feel because I struggled with disordered eating for years, not knowing what to do or where to turn for help. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Based in both Cowley, Oxford, and also close to Newbury, I provide a non judgemental and compassionate space away from the complexities of your world to explore what is important to you. Maybe you are having difficulties in your relationships with others, or are having trouble feeling heard. Maybe you are feeling stuck and need a different framework to make sense of it all. Maybe you are dealing with loss of people or dreams, that are new or old that needs to be acknowledged and processed. It can be daunting to take the first step towards exploring what we need ourselves. I hope to take that journey with you at your pace.
