Sex Therapy and Sex Education has become a real passion of mine in recent years. I consider working in partnership with people to find solutions to important, challenging and painful issues to be a real privilege. My professional experience is in Social work with children, families and adults since 2011 and in 2019 I began working as a therapist. I currently work in the areas of sexual trauma, sex education for caregivers and supporting adults around sexualised behaviours in children. In my parenting work with caregivers, I often find the sessions lead into issues for the couple and this has become a real interest of mine – helping couples to navigate their needs as well as their children’s.
I am currently engaged in the Advanced Sex Therapy Training that STNZ offer. I see sex and relationships as being things that are impacted by many factors and utilise the bio-pyscho-social model in assessment. I come from a Person-Centred Therapy model, and use trauma informed, brain development, somatic approaches and CBT in my work. My strengths as a therapist are being approachable and real, bringing myself as a human being to the therapy space.
Areas of interest and expertise:
- Women’s health
- The complexities faith-based messaging can have on leading a fulfilling and healthy sex life and relationship.
- Trauma
- Communication in relationships.
I look forward to hearing from you and working side by side together.
