About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I’m Asa. I am a qualified Psychotherapist who works with couples, families and 1-1 clients.

I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, relationships and men's related issues.

Relationship issues and Men’s related issues are broad terms encompassing many of the challenges we face today.

I’ve listed some of the main complaints below but, as we are all unique, this is by no means a comprehensive list. So please contact me if you feel your issue is not represented here and we can establish a way in which I can help you.

Erectile dysfunction

Not being able to achieve or maintain an erection or ejaculate when in intimate situations.

Inhibited sexual desire

Low or no sex drive

Avoidance of intimacy

Patterns of behaviour that avoid intimacy with a partner. For example, sabotaging relationships, being distracted during sex, objectifying or sexualising partners. Other examples of intimacy avoidance are seeking emotionally unavailable partners, engaging in hook ups, compulsively pursue

one sexual partner after another, having multiple sexual partners at a time.

Sex and porn addiction

Compulsively engaging in unwanted sexual behaviours that often lead to feelings of guilt, shame or regret. Undertaking sexual behaviours that are high risk or dangerous, becoming immobilised by sexual obsessions or fantasies, engaging in sexual activity with people without knowing them.

Infidelity

Being unfaithful to a partner, having multiple sexual or romantic relationships at the same time.

In sessions I provide a confidential setting to explore the feelings, emotions and impact significant events have had on the way you experience day-to-day life.

While working through your thought process, I will give you strategies to help you move towards the version of you that you've always wanted to be, free to enjoy healthy, normal relationships and live a life free of depression, obsessions and stress.

Practice description


All sessions last a minimum of 50 minutes.

Following our initial consultation, I will send you the link to my electronic calendar. This allows you to book a time and day that suits you. Where possible, we will work together and the same time and on the same day each week. 

My first session

I offer a free, no obligation consultation. The consultation will take place online via Zoom and will last approximately 10 minutes. This is an opportunity for you to share your challenges and to see if we would be able to work effectively together. 

Following the consultation, you will receive a link where you can book your first session with me. 

During the first session, we will work together to identify the challenges you're facing, where they originate and the impact they are having on you. This session will really set the scene for our work together and help us to identify the path that lays ahead. 

I aim to offer a safe, caring and non-judgmental space where you will be accepted as you are so that you may:

- Talk about issues that are causing you physical, mental, emotional or spiritual distress,

- Explore your thoughts and feelings 

- Find more appropriate and healthier ways of coping with your issues

- Gain better understanding of yourself and your relationships

- Gain personal insights into your behaviours

- Facilitate positive changes in your life

We will work at your own pace in discovering more about yourself, your life and your challenges. Often psychotherapy helps people to feel more empowered and in control of their lives, more optimistic about the future and generally feeling happier and more content.
