Navigating relationship and sexual challenges can be daunting, whether you're grappling with feelings of disconnection, difficulty in communicating needs, or the aftermath of infidelity. As an experienced relationship counsellor and sex therapist, I offer personalized support to help you address and resolve these issues effectively.
I am trained in the Gottman Method, a renowned approach for enhancing relationship dynamics. This method focuses on identifying and transforming negative patterns such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling—into constructive behaviors. By fostering active listening, high empathy, and deeper emotional understanding, I work with couples to build stronger, more resilient relationships.
In addition to my Gottman Method training, I hold full accreditation as a Board Certified Sex Therapist, complemented by postgraduate qualifications in Sexual Health. This background equips me to tackle a broad range of sexual concerns that may be impacting your relationship. Whether you're dealing with trust issues, sexual dissatisfaction, or communication breakdowns, my goal is to help you find effective solutions and enhance your overall relationship satisfaction.
My approach is rooted in empathy and a commitment to helping you achieve a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship. By combining evidence-based therapies with a deep understanding of sexual health, I provide a comprehensive framework for addressing both emotional and sexual issues.
Taking the first step toward a more satisfying relationship can start with a simple conversation. Reach out to me today, and together we can work toward resolving your concerns and building a happier, more connected partnership.
