Unshaming Sex Therapy & Clinical Supervision
I help individuals, partners, and clinicians talk about sex with less shame, more clarity, and practical next steps.
My private practice brings together psychotherapy, sex therapy, and clinical supervision for people who want affirming support around sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and professional growth.
All therapy, consultation, and supervision appointments take place virtually.

Sex therapy
A Shame-Free Space For Sexual Concerns
Sex therapy gives you room to talk about the parts of sex, intimacy, desire, pleasure, pain, identity, and relationships that are often hard to say out loud.
My work is collaborative, confidential, trauma-informed, and affirming. We move at a pace that respects your dignity, autonomy, and nervous system.
- Desire differences and low desire
- Sexual anxiety, shame, and confidence
- Painful intercourse and genito-pelvic pain
- Erectile concerns, orgasm concerns, and early ejaculation
- Sex after trauma, life transition, illness, or grief
- LGBTQ2S+, transgender, non-binary, queer, and questioning experiences
Therapeutic approach
Warm, Direct, Evidence-Informed Care
I draw from mindfulness-based therapy, body-oriented psychotherapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic sex therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and sex-positive interventions.
The goal is not to force a single version of “normal.” The goal is to understand what is happening, reduce shame, build language, and make choices that fit your body, your relationships, and your values.
What Sessions Often Support
- Naming patterns without blame
- Understanding sexual stories and expectations
- Building communication and consent skills
- Practising body awareness and nervous-system care
- Finding practical steps that feel possible
For clinicians
Clinical Consultation And Supervision
I support clinicians who want to develop more confidence and skill in sex therapy conversations, sexual-health assessment, shame-sensitive language, and client-centred treatment planning.
The Clinicians page is the current place to check for consultation, supervision, and group-offering updates.
Public education
Resources And Media
