couples therapy specialist

I specialise in working with couples and individuals to improve all aspects of their relationships, offering a warm, compassionate and collaborative experience of counselling.  I work with people of all sexual orientations, genders, ages and ethnic backgrounds.  My practice includes working with couples and individuals who are experiencing sexual difficulties. 

​

I am an accredited member of COSRT ( the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists) and act within their Code of Ethics.  This includes requirements for proper training, professional supervision and insurance.     I am also an accredited supervisor with COSRT.
