Gestalt Therapy for Sex & Relationships
PGDip Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy, FDN in Psychotherapy and Counselling, regCOSRT, MBACP (reg)
I work with individuals and couples who want to feel more connected to themselves, their sexuality and their relationships. Therapy with me isn’t about being told how to change or fit into someone else’s idea of who you should be. It’s about supporting your own ability to grow and adjust in ways that feel right for you. The process is collaborative. Lasting change comes from within, not from outside correction.

How I can help
Relationship Therapy
“We get together on the basis of our similarities; we grow on the basis of our differences.”
– Virginia Satir
Relationships can bring out both the best in us and the parts we find most difficult. Whether you’re feeling stuck in conflict, disconnected from each other, or wanting to deepen your intimacy, therapy offers a space to pause and explore what’s really happening between you. It’s not about blame or trying to fix each other, but about understanding how you relate, and discovering new ways to connect.
I help couples work through a wide range of challenges, including:
Struggling to Communicate
If conversations keep breaking down or turning into arguments, we’ll take time to understand how you are each expressing yourselves, and what might be getting in the way of really listening.
Betrayal or Broken Trust
Whether it’s infidelity or secrecy, we’ll work with what’s happened and explore what’s needed to feel safe and connected again, if that’s possible for you.
Loss of Closeness
If sex has faded or emotional intimacy feels distant, we can explore what’s changed and what might help you both feel more open and connected again.
Recurring Conflict
If you’re stuck in the same painful loops, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand what each of you might be trying to express or protect in those moments.
Pressure from Parenting
When life centres around children, relationships can easily take a back seat. I support couples to tune into what’s shifted and find ways to reconnect, even in the chaos.
Differences in Desire
When one of you wants more or less sex, it can stir up all kinds of feelings. We’ll work with those differences and find ways to talk about them that feel respectful and honest.
Exploring Non-Monogamy and Kink
If you’re opening your relationship or navigating kink, I offer a space that’s open and affirming, somewhere to explore boundaries, agreements and what feels right for you both.
Life Transitions
Whether it’s a move, career change, or health issue, big shifts can unsettle even strong bonds. I offer support to help you navigate the uncertainty and stay connected during change.
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy offers a space to explore the emotional, relational and psychological aspects of sex and intimacy. It can help with a wide range of issues, such as low desire, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, pain during sex, or feeling disconnected from your body or pleasure. It can also support you in making sense of how past experiences, shame, relationship dynamics or identity questions may be shaping your sexual wellbeing. Whether you’re seeking to overcome a specific difficulty or simply want to feel more connected, confident or understood, this is a place to explore what’s happening without judgement.
