A Compassionate Approach
I believe that having the space to talk openly about your relationship can help you better understand yourself, your partner and what may be getting in the way.
I am a sex-positive, kink-aware and poly-friendly therapist. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where both partners can feel heard, respected and understood.
Relationships can become stuck in familiar patterns. Together, we can explore what's happening, make sense of difficult conversations, identify recurring themes, and better understand each other's needs, feelings and perspectives.
Whether you are facing a specific issue or simply want to improve the way you relate to one another, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
My role is to help facilitate the conversations that may feel difficult to have alone and support you in finding a way forward that makes sense for your relationship.
Couples often come to me because:
-
Communication has broken down
-
They feel more like housemates than partners
-
Trust has been damaged
-
They are stuck in recurring arguments
-
Intimacy has changed
-
Life pressures are affecting the relationship
Because I also work as a sex therapist, I can support couples where emotional and sexual difficulties overlap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Relationship Therapy?
Relationship therapy provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore difficulties within your relationship. Together, we can discuss a wide range of issues, including communication difficulties, recurring conflict, infidelity, trust issues, differences in desire, intimacy and connection, emotional needs, parenting challenges, life transitions, separation, and sexual concerns.
Do We Need to Be in Crisis to Seek Relationship Therapy?
No. Many couples seek therapy long before a crisis develops. Relationship therapy can help you improve communication, strengthen intimacy, navigate major life changes, and address trust issues. You do not need to be on the verge of separation to benefit.
What Happens in the First Session?
The first session provides an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy. We will discuss your relationship and identify areas for support. Following this, I usually meet with each partner individually to gain a broader understanding.
Do We Always Attend Sessions Together?
Typically yes, but individual sessions may be recommended where they support the therapeutic process.
Is Relationship Therapy Confidential?
Yes, with exceptions only for legal requirements or risk of harm.
How Many Sessions Will We Need?
Every relationship is different. I generally recommend starting with at least six sessions to develop a meaningful understanding.
What If My Partner Doesn't Want to Attend?
It can still be helpful to attend individually to explore your own thoughts and feelings.
Can Relationship Therapy Include Sexual Concerns?
Absolutely. As a qualified psychosexual therapist, I can help you explore intimacy, desire, and sexual functioning in a safe space.
