About a session
First sessions are free, so you can check you're comfortable working with me.
My diary is online, so you can book a session at a time that suits you: and you don't need to contact me first.
I can see you in-person in Hampton, in the London Borough of Richmond, SW London, (near Twickenham, Teddington & Kingston) or by Zoom if you prefer. I can also see you in the West End, if you email me.
Sessions last one hour, 90 minutes, 2 hours, or a half-day or one-day, and are £70 ph for individuals or £90 ph for couples. See details below.
Choose regular sessions, or book in ad-hoc if you prefer, & cancel with no charge.
About relationship therapy
Relationship therapy really works! (80% of respondents to a recent Relate survey said therapy had significantly improved their relationship).
Relationship & psychosexual therapy is a specialist form of therapy, so it is best to work with someone with this specific training.
Common issues include: communication, conflict & anger; loss of playfulness & fun; loss of sexual desire & arousal; the aftermath of affairs; & sexual problems. I can also help with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, anger & addiction, & their effect on relationships
I welcome all cultural & ethnic backgrounds, sexualities, genders and types of relationship.
