I believe that all clients already have within them the wisdom and ability to be the best people they can be. My part, then, is to support others for them to discover or rediscover their own path forward.

Experience includes:

Diverse issues, such as gender identity and gender dysphoria; relationship difficulties; sexual abuse (from childhood), sexual abuse as adults, emotional abuse, and effects of other physical abuse in adulthood; employment problems; parenting difficulties; low self-esteem and/or self-confidence; complicated bereavement; sexuality; addiction, especially gambling; low self-esteem, anger/hurt, and other difficulty with expressing feelings/communicating. I have experience working with people who have a diagnosis of autism spectrum condition and others with autistic traits.

I am happy to work with clients who are having difficulties in their relationships related to intimacy problems. However, as I am not qualified as a Sex Therapist, I do not work with physical interventions and techniques.

I continue to work with clients whose employers provide assistance to their staff during difficult times.

Please note that as I do not have any medical training I am not qualified to give such advice and recommend anyone seeking medical advice to consult their General Practitioner or other qualified medical practitioner.
