Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy
This is a confidential space to speak openly, make sense of things, and explore what might be different - in the relationship, in the bedroom, or both.
I work with individuals and couples in person in Richmond, SW London, and online — on communication and conflict, desire and intimacy, affairs and infidelity, sexual problems, and compulsive sexual behaviour (aka sex or porn addiction).

About me
I am an experienced and professionally qualified psychosexual and relationship therapist. I hold a Professional Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy from Relate, as well as a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Sussex.
I am a registered member of COSRT, the professional body for sex and relationship therapists.
I have been in private practice for 15 years in Hampton, in the London Borough of Richmond, SW London, near Barnes, Teddington, Twickenham, and Kingston. I see clients from London, the UK & world-wide.
I also work at Innisfree Therapy, the world-renowned sexual compulsivity & trauma clinic in Harley Street.
Alongside my clinical work, I contribute regularly to the media, including interviews for The Guardian and Newsweek, workshops for HSBC, and writing and podcasts for Liz Earle Wellbeing.
Before training as a therapist, I was a professional jazz pianist and a university lecturer in philosophy — experiences that continue to shape how I work with people.
How sessions work
You book for one hour, 90 minutes, two hours or three hours. (I also offer half-day or whole-day sessions.) I can see you in-person, or online. You can see me regularly, or book ad-hoc, depending on what feels right.
Cancellations
You may always cancel with no charge: I appreciate life gets in the way sometimes.
My rates
Your first session is free. If you decide to continue, the cost is £105 per hour for couples and £80 per hour for individuals. I offer reduced prices for the unemployed or those on a low wage (please let me know).
Booking
You can book a session without speaking to me first: my diary is online, so just choose a date and time that suits you. You can also check my Frequently Asked Questions page. I'm always happy to chat informally.
Diversity
I work with people of all cultural backgrounds, sexualities, genders, and relationship structures.
Confidentiality
I observe complete confidentiality at all times as a matter of professional ethics, except where I believe there to be an immediate risk to yourself or others, or as a legal duty.
