Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy

I am a holistic psychotherapist based in Barnet. I specialise in Relationship Counselling and Psychosexual Therapy. My clients come from nearby Hertfordshire or North London. I have over 15 years experience in Couples counselling, helping couples at all ages and stages of relationships, whether they need help in general couples issues or with sexual difficulties. As well as counselling with couples, I work with individuals who are not in a relationship and have issues with relating and intimacy. You may be best served either by Relationship Counselling or Psychosexual Therapy, or a mix of both. My Relationship Support Practice offers a safe and confidential environment. You will be listened to with empathy and sensitivity and offered possibilities to change patterns that may be getting in the way of you feeling fulfilled as a couple and as individuals. I hold personal issues of relating, intimacy and sexuality with the utmost confidentiality and within a structure of integrity and safety.

What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy

Couples Relationship Counselling or Psychosexual Therapy offers a variety of therapeutic tools, generally a mix of practical and emotional approaches, all within a client-centred, holistic context.

My approach to couples counselling draws both from my Psychotherapy background and also from a more experiential, here and now framework. I am down to earth about relating issues, enabling clients to feel safe and accepted.

I often give clients exercises to practise at home. In the counselling sessions we look at the issues that have surfaced and this enables change to take place. Sometimes few sessions are needed; other times clients take more time to deal with the complexities of close relationships.

If you are having difficulties in a relationship, especially in the areas of sex and intimacy, you may feel hesitant to talk about these personal issues. This is understandable. Perhaps your expectations about sex and intimacy are very different from one another and it’s not easy to talk about this together.

While many things do go well in relationships, you can become very stuck at times and communication and feelings suffer.

These are some of the areas I can offer support with:

- Lack of intimacy
- Communication difficulties
- Sexual problems
- Lack of libido
- Poor body image
- Sexual abuse
- Relationship conflict
- Low confidence and self worth
