…in sex therapy
As a gender, sexual and relationship diversity specialist, a lot of my work in sex therapy falls under this umbrella. For LGBT+ folk and non-monogamous people, finding a therapist can be difficult. Whether you are gender diverse, sexually diverse, or relationally diverse, we can explore your identity together in an affirming way. You also won’t be reduced to a single aspect of your identity in my practice.
For those who are non-monogamous, or thinking about non-monogamy, therapy can be a way to explore and reflect on these feelings with a qualified professional. I can help you to identify your wants, needs and desires in a relationship, and how to create a relationship you want.
For gender diverse clients, I frequently work with gender dysphoria, the experience of transness and transition, and identity. If you’re struggling with your gender identity, or you just want a safe space where you can explore these subjects, I can help.
If you’re feeling shame around kink, or if you’re struggling to incorporate a fetish into your relationship, I can help. In sex therapy, I’ll help you to reflect on your kink, and identify the kind of relationship you want to have with a fetish or interest.
I often work with clients who are thinking about their sexuality, sexual orientation or sexual identity. Sex therapy may be a good choice for you if you’re struggling to come to terms with sexual attraction, romantic attraction or a lack of attraction. I can help you to move towards accepting your authentic self.
I also work with a range of sexual dysfunctions, such as erectile dysfunction/erectile disorder, delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, low desire and arousal, vaginismus, anorgasmia and genital pain conditions like dyspareunia/genito pelvic pain.
…in relationship therapy
I often work with non-monogamy and relationship diversity, and I frequently work with partners who have different relationship orientations. If you’re in a relationship where one of you is monogamous, and your partner is non-monogamous, I can help. We can work together in order to explore your orientations, and how both of you would like to move forward. I can also help those who are interested in opening up, or closing their relationship for the first time.
I can help you and your partner or partners with the external or interpersonal issues which you’re currently facing. Relationship therapy can also help you and your partner or partners identify how to navigate challenges together, or move forward after something has happened. If you’re arguing with a partner, and you’ve noticed that the arguments regularly escalate, I can help. Together we’ll help you and your partner to develop new patterns of communication, and learn to communicate in a healthy way.
If you’re experiencing mismatched sexual needs, where you have a kink that your partner doesn’t share, or you’re feeling more or less desire for sex than you’re partner, I can help. You might have found it difficult to open up to a partner about something that’s bothering you, but I can help you both to learn to recognise your own wants and needs in the relationship, as well as how to listen and respond to the wants and needs of each other.
You don’t need to be in a romantic or sexual relationship to have intimate partner therapy. If you’re trying to work something through with a friend or platonic connection, therapy can help. Whether it’s trouble communicating, an issue that you have come up against, or something else, intimate partner therapy can support you in moving forward.
