About me
I specialise in relationship, sex and intimacy problems with both couples and individuals. I also work with couples where one partner's depression may be impacting negatively on the relationship. Most people have anxieties about relationships, intimacy and sexual difficulties at some point in their lives. Relationship and psychosexual therapy offers the opportunity to discuss your concerns with a therapist specially trained in this area of work in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. I also worked for many years as a nurse specialist in sexual and reproductive health and have taught and supervised for Tavistock Relationships, Relate and UCL Medical School. I see a very varied client group for both short and longer term therapy. I work with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, cultures, religious beliefs, and social backgrounds. I have worked with a variety of physical and learning disabilities. I see both people who are in relationships and those who are not. I am happy for you to contact me by email or phone. You can also look at my website www.highgatetherapy.co.uk Some of the problems that people might bring are: Relationship difficulties Relationship endings Painful sex and/or difficulties with penetration Problems with getting or maintaining erections Premature or delayed ejaculation Loss of interest or enjoyment in sex Difficulty in reaching climax Compulsive/addictive sexual problems Problems associated with menopause Sexual trauma and phobias Concerns about sexual fantasies or practises or those of your partner s Sexual problems related to related to chronic disease, accidental trauma, surgery, cancer treatment and skin conditions Relationship and sexual issues related to terminal illness Sexually transmitted infections Infertility, miscarriage and infant loss Conflict and/or fear of pregnancy Gender and sexuality concerns Cultural and religious influences Lack of knowledge about sex Kink friendly Relationship and psychosexual therapy is a talking therapy but you may be asked to practise some helpful practical techniques in the privacy of your own home.
