Relationship counselling

I mainly use the systemic approach which explores how we create meanings and how we communicate this to others by behaviour and dialogue, aswell as psychodynamic techniques to explore the unconscious meaning behind our behaviours and how we are influenced in our current relationships by our past relationships and experiences. I also use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to look at how our thoughts, behaviours, feelings and physical reactions can influence each other. This helps in breaking a cycle of unhelpful behaviour or thinking. Each individual or couple is unique and we will look at the area of your relationship where you feel change is most needed.

Psychosexual therapy

I mainly use the cognitive behavioural therapy approach to look at the influence our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and physical reactions have on each other and to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours such as performance anxiety and avoidance of intimacy. I also use psychodynamic techniques to explore the influence of past events on our current thoughts and behaviours. Each person or couple is unique and we will go at your pace rather than setting unrealistic goals or trying to stick to a rigid regime. The aim is to eliminate anxiety from intimacy and learn more about your body and sexual arousal.
