I believe that psychotherapy is a co-created relationship where you as well as myself are involved in process, this same way as crew of a sail, who set off the cruise to find your coveted land. As counselling progresses, I, together with you, encounter calm water, undulating seas and stormy weather. Mutual trust is essential in every condition.

I bring my real sense of self into therapeutic relationship in an accessible and open way. My aim is to help you identify and explore defence mechanisms that unconsciously crept into your life and create a trusted bond essential to build awareness of the both, self-destructive relational patterns as well as unfulfilled needs.

There are things that you might find yourself struggling with, such as, trying to seek meaning and purpose in life, work problems, relationship difficulties, addiction or mourning the losses and changes that are happening to our planet. You might be feeling adrift in a rapidly changing world, alone, cut off from others or caught in a trap and doing things that you do not find fulfilling anymore. Perhaps you are angry, anxious, depressed or having thoughts of suicide and you are unsure of how to cope with these feelings. Let’s create together a space where mutual understanding and trust is highly valued.

I currently have availability for new clients and offer online psychotherapy and sex counselling during weekday mornings, afternoons, and limited evening slots. All sessions are held online via secure video call, making therapy accessible from your own space — whether you’re based in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, or anywhere else in Essex.

Online therapy offers the flexibility and privacy many clients find helpful, especially when juggling work, parenting, or personal responsibilities. My practice is open to individuals and couples seeking support with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, sexual concerns, trauma, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected.

I work exclusively online and offer both short-term, goal-focused counselling and longer-term exploratory psychotherapy, depending on your needs. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I hold a BACP and UKCP registration in psychotherapy and have additional training in sexology. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed.

If I plan to take time away from my practice (e.g. for holidays or breaks), I always give clients advance notice. I aim to offer flexible scheduling where possible, and I usually respond to new enquiries within 24 hours.

If you live in Southend or the surrounding Essex area and are looking for accessible, compassionate online therapy or sex counselling, please feel free to reach out.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been holding things in for a long time or are unsure what to expect. My role is to meet you where you are — without pressure or judgment — and offer a space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be explored safely and at your own pace.

I work with individuals and couples online, offering weekly sessions where we can look together at what’s causing distress or getting in the way of feeling settled in yourself or your relationships. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship breakdowns, sexual issues, burnout, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you — therapy can help you begin to make sense of what’s going on and build a more grounded, compassionate connection to yourself.

My background is in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, and I’ve also completed additional training in sexology. I support clients with a wide range of emotional and sexual concerns, including loss of desire, shame, painful sex, self-esteem issues, and intimacy struggles.

I work in a collaborative and respectful way — this is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself better, reconnect with what matters, and find more freedom in how you live and relate.

Sessions take place online via secure video, and I welcome clients from Southend, Leigh-on-Sea, and across Essex who are seeking a thoughtful and confidential space to begin therapy.

My practice is a calm, confidential online space where you can pause, reflect, and work through the issues that are impacting your emotional or relational wellbeing. I offer psychotherapy and sex counselling for adults and couples across the UK — including many clients based in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, and the wider Essex area.

I work with people navigating a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdowns, family stress, sexual concerns, or a general sense of being stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Whether you’re seeking clarity in your personal life, healing from past experiences, or support in your relationship or sex life, therapy can help you feel more connected and in control.

I offer weekly sessions via secure video call, with a consistent time slot to help build trust, continuity, and safety in the work. Therapy with me isn’t rushed or surface-level — it’s a process of exploring what’s going on underneath your current challenges and working together to find new ways forward.

My practice is inclusive, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I’m especially mindful of how social, cultural, or family expectations may have shaped your experience of emotions, identity, intimacy, or relationships.

If you're looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on — whether you're new to therapy or returning to it — I welcome you to get in touch. I offer a brief initial consultation to help you get a sense of whether working together feels right.

The first session is a chance for us to meet and begin getting a sense of what working together might be like. I see this initial session as an open, low-pressure space for you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy or sex counselling, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether you feel comfortable continuing.

You don’t need to prepare anything or complete any forms beforehand — our agreement is reached verbally, not through paperwork. I’ll explain how I work, including things like confidentiality, session length and frequency, and how we might approach the issues you want to bring. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels right at this stage.

I may ask some background questions to help me understand your situation — including any relevant personal history, current challenges, and therapeutic goals — but there’s no pressure to go into detail before you’re ready.

Sessions are held online via secure video call, and I offer a consistent weekly slot once we agree to continue. I do not currently offer a reduced rate for the first session, but I aim to make the process accessible and welcoming for anyone who is new to therapy or feeling uncertain.

If you’re based in Southend or the surrounding Essex area and are curious about starting therapy or sex counselling, feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to answer questions and help you decide if this feels like the right next step for you.

I currently have availability for new clients and offer online psychotherapy and sex counselling sessions during weekday mornings, afternoons, and some evenings. I work exclusively online with individuals and couples across the UK, including clients based in Birmingham, Brighton, Southend, and across London.

My practice is trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I support clients facing a range of issues such as anxiety, relationship challenges, sexual concerns, low self-esteem, life transitions, and identity exploration.

Sessions are offered via secure video conferencing, allowing for flexibility and privacy in your own space. I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy depending on your goals.

Please feel free to contact me to check current availability or ask any questions about how I work. If I plan to take any breaks or time off, I will always give clients advanced notice.

I work relationally, meaning that the therapeutic relationship between us is central to the process. I aim to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you can bring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences — including those parts you may feel ashamed or unsure of. I believe that therapy works best when it’s grounded in trust, collaboration, and authenticity.

My core psychotherapy and counselling training is in Transactional Analysis (TA), and I have also completed additional specialist training in sexology. I draw from both of these frameworks to support clients in working through emotional, relational, and sexual concerns. Depending on your needs, I may also integrate psychodynamic or body-aware approaches.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and sexual concerns such as low desire, shame, pain during sex, or challenges with intimacy. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed.

Sessions are typically weekly and held online via a secure platform. Whether we work together short-term or in a more open-ended way, my aim is to help you build deeper insight and move toward lasting internal change — emotionally, relationally, and sexually.

I’m a UKCP and BACP-registered psychotherapist with additional training in sexology offering online therapy to individuals and couples across the UK. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, and my practice is inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally sensitive.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, sexual difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, or a loss of direction, therapy can provide space for insight and transformation. Many clients come to explore issues related to desire, shame, performance pressure, or relational conflict.

My approach is rooted in Transactional Analysis and informed by sex therapy, psychodynamic thinking, and relational practice. Together, we explore how early experiences shape how you relate — to others, to yourself, and to your sexuality.

I offer weekly online sessions via secure video. Many of my clients are based in London (East and West), Birmingham, Brighton, Southend-on-Sea, and elsewhere in the UK.

If you’re unsure where to begin, I offer a short consultation to explore whether working together feels right.

I offer an initial online session, which gives us a chance to meet, explore what brings you to therapy or sex counselling, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. This first meeting is slightly different from regular sessions — it’s a space for you to ask questions, share any concerns, and get a sense of my approach.

We’ll talk about what’s currently on your mind, any goals or hopes you have for therapy, and your past experiences with support (if any). I may ask some background questions to help build a picture of your emotional, relational, and/or sexual history, depending on what you’re comfortable sharing.

You do not need to prepare anything for this session — simply come as you are. I aim to make the process as welcoming and low-pressure as possible.

If we decide to continue, we’ll agree on a regular time to meet each week and I will explain how I work, including confidentiality, my fees and cancellation policy.

Through my open and accessible style, I create a safe space where we can build a trust. This is genuinely an essential step in helping you to become conscious of the negative aspects of your life, so that I can work with you to bring about a desirable transformation.

I bring my sense of self into therapeutic relationship with aim to enhance therapy process and help you in building awareness of your own struggles in the relationships with others as well as with yourself.

I offer a reflective and emphatic professional counselling, psychotherapy and sex therapy service remotely as well as in one of my therapy office in London. My aim is to support you in resolving challenges that you may be facing in your life of a psychological, emotional, behavioural, and sexual nature.

Through my training in counselling, psychotherapy and sexology, I would work to empower you in developing your own self-awareness and self-reflection. I can support you in setting out on this journey in a non-judgemental manner paying special attention to your privacy and maintaining high level of confidentiality.

You might find it challenging in the beginning to identify your own needs, particularly if you are living life in the fast lane, where it is easy to disconnect from own thoughts, feelings and actions. Thus, during your initial appointment we will particularly concentrate on your needs as well as your current circumstances and life problems. Moreover, we will discuss the professional boundaries, arrangements and service agreement, which I would email you before we meet. Your first session it is also a time to pay special attention into your own intuition, so when we finish, you could have some sense of whether therapeutic relationship with me can be beneficial for you. I tend to not ask at this stage whether you want to continue or not, and only after we finish you can contact me if you wish to book a therapy sessions.
