Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy in Leicester
I practice as an BACP accreditated therapist and counsellor in Leicester, this covering Psychosexual Therapy, Relationship Counselling and Individual Therapy. I am committed to providing these therapies in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. These can be either face to face, telephone or skype sessions as required. I am proud of my success rate with clients in achieving their goals, currently standing at 90%+.I work with both individual adults and couples of any sexual orientation on a short (around 6 sessions) or longer term basis. One-off sessions are also available as appropriate. My role is to work with the client to understand what their issues really mean to them, and to help them create a healthier life for themselves and their loved ones going forward. This may involve exploring immediate concerns in life or address 'deeper' issues present.
As a therapist I work in an Integrative, structured approach using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Systemic theories in the main. In a nutshell, this means together we generate insights from a client's background and then strategically work out how to fix the underlying issues emerging with healthier behaviours. The three core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard underpin this. Gay affirmative practice from a non-traditional perspective is utilised in lesbian, gay and bisexual therapy.
I am experienced in working with sexual dysfunctions in sex therapy and have worked successfully with clients who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, have mental health issues, have experienced trauma and Aspergers. I specialise in Sexual Addiction in sex therapy work here in Leicester, for both the addict and their partners.
Relationship therapy has addressed areas of breakdown, affairs, self esteem, moderate depression and anxiety (including OCD and PTSD), and I work cognitively to improve communication and improve the status quo of the individuals concerned. Relationship work may be required to understand more about patterns of issues from the past affecting the present, and altering these for the future.
I do not work with users of child pornography or domestic violence. These cases would be automatically referred
My practice is based on the Glenfield Road in Leicester, LE3, Leicestershire, within easy reach of the City Centre and Junction 21 of the M1/end of the M69. Both daytime and evening appointments are available, and the therapy room has disabled access. Skype sessions are also available for non-local and overseas clients.
