About me

I have a Professional Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy from Relate, and a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Sussex. I have been in private practice for 13 years, & work with clients in London, the UK, & internationally. I am a registered member of COSRT, the professional body for relationship and sex therapists.

I also work as a psychosexual therapist for Relate, the UK's relationship counselling organisation, and listed in the Relate Practitioners Directory.

Previously I worked for All Points North, the premier US health & well-being clinic in London's West End as a psychosexual therapist, and am part of Connect MDT, a multi-disciplinary wellbeing team who worked together there. I have worked as a university lecturer, teaching philosophy for 25 years at Richmond, The American International University in London.

I was also a successful jazz pianist, resident at The Ivy and Le Pont de la Tour, and headlining the Jazz Café with my trio. I am married with children.

About a session

I see clients in person in my private practice at Hampton, in the London Borough of Richmond, SW London. I can work with you via Zoom / Facetime if you prefer.

I can also see you in London's West End if that's more convenient. Email me letting me know your potential availabilty if the West End would suit you better.

Sessions last one hour, 90 minutes, 2 hours, or as a popular alternative, a one-day session.

I work daytimes, evenings, & weekends . My earliest session is at 8am, & my last at 8pm.

You can see me for regular weekly sessions, or ad-hoc if you prefer. I don't ask you to sign a contract, block-book or pay in advance. You may cancel without charge.

First sessions are free. You can check my availability and book a session at a time that suits you.

Your free first session is not just information-gathering - we discuss the issues you want to explore.

If you'd like to chat informally about starting therapy, feel free contact me at any time. First sessions are free.

Common topics include improving commnication, restoring sex and intimacy, sexual problems, recovering from affairs, and the effect of anger, alcohol and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression & ADHD on relationships - & anything you bring.
