What To Expect.
Initially we will discuss the client's personal understanding of what’s brought them to therapy, and during this assessment we will determine whether there is a potential need for further investigation from a GP, Sexual Health Doctor, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Urologist or Gynaecologist. We will then spend some time taking a personal history and creating a treatment plan for going forward, with regular review sessions to determine how the work is going.
We will agree a therapy contract before working together which outlines my code of ethics and practice. Once this is agreed, sessions will take place weekly for fifty minutes. These sessions involve the security and confidentiality of the therapeutic relationship which supports the work using self-help tools, practical exercises to be done at home, sexual education, and increasing sexual self-confidence and comfort in sexuality or sexual relationships. So often we focus on the doing of sex, but my approach adopts the understanding that our thoughts and feelings about sex are just as important, and so we work integratively with both the psychological and physical aspects of sex and sexuality.
Sessions are strictly talking therapy, and any exercises are to be done by the individual, couple or partners outside of sessions. I work with individuals and couples of all sexual and gender identities and adopt a sexuality diversity affirmative approach.
If you would like to get an idea of how I work and practice before enquiring then please head to my podcast or you can find links to interviews where I have been a guest on the press page.
I currently only work with over 18’s, and UK residents.
I do not currently accept clients via health or medical insurance.
