I specialise in working with couples and individuals on communication issues, loss of desire in long-term relationships, and surviving affairs.

First sessions are free, without any obligation to continue, so you can check out you're comfortable working with me. You do not need to block-book or pay in advance. I can usually see you within 48 hours (and sometimes the same day). I work evenings, weekends, and daytimes. I also offer home visits, and Skype sessions.

I am based in Hampton (near Teddington) in the London Borough of Richmond in SW London, within easy reach of Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston and surrounding areas. (I work with clients from across the UK.)

I have a Post-graduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy from Relate. You can read about my background and professional training, and what to expect from a couples counselling session. I have been in private practice for nearly ten years, and worked for Relate for several years before that. I also teach at the Richmond American International University,

I write, publish and lecture on relationships and desire.You can read my paper 'The Romantic Myth of Making Love' which I delivered at the 2018 UKCP annual conference. You can also read some of my other online articles. Please follow me on LinkedIn and Twitter, and read my Blog on counselling and relationships (and leave comments).

Relationship counselling works! Over 80% of repsondents to a Relate survey said counselling had significantly improved their relationship. Relationship counselling is for both couples and individuals, whether currently in relationships or not. I welcome clients of all genders and sexualities.

Contact me to make an enquiry, book a session, or for an informal chat.
