"I also offer relationship therapy for couples that may have found themselves in difficulty. Perhaps communication has stopped or there is tension around the way you are in relation to each other. Life events and circumstances may be putting a strain on your relationship. I work with couples to increase awareness of such issues that may be resulting in a negative patterns of behaviour. Again I aim to provide a safe and neutral environment to allow this exploration."

"My particular approach focuses on the sexual issue but also looks at the whole person or couple as I believe that sexual issues usually do not occur in isolation. Issues include: loss of desire, premature ejaculation, vaginismus (difficulty with penetrative sex), painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, arousal difficulties and inorgasmia (difficulty achieving orgasm). Whilst I do work with individuals, if in a relationship it is often more beneficial to see the couple together. In my experience, working out the way in which you relate and communicate often uncovers awareness around the sexual difficulties and vice versa."

"After a 10-year career in the business and management field I decided to act on my lifelong interest in psychology and re- train. I achieved several diploma and postgraduate qualifications in the Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychosexual Psychotherapy (sex therapy). I now have 13yrs experience working in the field of Counselling and Psychotherapy as a trainer, supervisor and practitioner. I am establishing my practice here in Newcastle having recently relocated back to the North East from London where I lectured in therapy, was an integral part of a successful West End practice and ran another in North London. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners (AHPP). I adhere to these organisations ethical frameworks."
