Therapy Fees & Availability —In-Person in Brighton & Online

I work from a private therapy room in central Brighton — the exact address is shared upon booking. I also offer online sessions via Zoom for clients outside of Brighton, international clients, or simply if online feels more convenient.

I require at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or reschedules. Cancellations made after this period will be charged the full session fee.

Sex therapy is a talking therapy — there are no examinations or physical contact during any of the sessions. If you’re over 16 and have a sexual (or relationship) concern, sex and relationship therapy can be suitable for you, regardless of your relationship status.

People often seek sex therapy when sexual functioning is affected and the cause is suspected to be psychological, or when they want support alongside medical treatment. Others come for education, guidance or emotional support on a subject that usually feels taboo.

Often clients initially come for one issue, but then find themselves talking about other topics as the work (and their context) evolves. In particular, this happens during sex therapy because sexual issues are usually a symptom of deeper underlying issues that need to be confronted in order to address the sexual problem, so it is natural to end up discussing other topics during therapy. In that sense, sex therapy is rarely just sex therapy.

I work with anything that affects a person’s well-being, be it emotional, mental or physical; in their personal life, professional life, sex life, or relationships. I have listed the issues I commonly see here.

I work with a wide range of people from all walks of life and backgrounds - including but not limited to the LGBTQ+ community. I operate from the inclusive and universal viewpoint that people are people, regardless of our sexual preferences, identities and relationship choices. We are all just people at the end of the day and we all want to reduce the amount of suffering we experience.

Yes, this is a benefit to seeing a sex and relationship therapist in particular - I am trained and qualified to assist through a diverse range of issues, whether emotional, relational, or sexual. If the focus of our work shifts, I can adapt with you.
And don't worry - it’s perfectly natural and normal for people to feel embarrassed talking about sex in therapy but I can assure you that this quickly fades!

Yes. I work in a very fluid way that, depending on what you’re coming for and what feels comfortable, does at times work with couples separately to focus on certain areas. Other times, couples experience benefit from working with me and want to continue the work individually, narrowing the focus.

I try to work in a way that does not make me either party’s sole therapist and does not alienate anyone. I try to make it clear that I am not on anyone’s ‘side’ and have not developed a narrative beforehand. My role is to support the relationship and help you both move toward what you want — whether that’s together or individually.

It’s natural to be hesitant or apprehensive about therapy. It can seem daunting to the uninitiated and the wary. Often one person simply is more motivated than the other. Sometimes their willingness changes over time. At other times, people are simply not ready for therapy yet.

If this is your situation, I understand how frustrating that can feel. But it doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Even if your partner isn’t ready, individual therapy can still offer you clarity, insight, and a space to understand your role in the dynamic. Meaningful shifts can happen — even if only one person is in the room.

Doing therapy online or in-person is a choice, dependent on factors like time, travel, convenience. While therapy has traditionally been done face-to-face, I’ve worked for years across both mediums and can confidently say that not much is lost in translation via Zoom.

I work online with many clients across the UK and internationally, both individuals and couples, and they benefit from these sessions just as much as those I see in person. So if in-person isn’t possible for you, please don’t worry.

It depends on what you're coming in for, but I usually recommend starting with weekly sessions to build momentum and understanding. Many people prefer the consistency, support and impact that weekly sessions provide. If desired, we can move to fortnightly sessions once things feel more settled. If you're in crisis, twice a week might feel more stabilising in the short term. However, I’m happy to provide flexibility and we can discuss what feels most helpful for you during our first session.

It depends on what you are looking for. Some clients just need a handful of sessions to get clear on something or to receive some guidance. My couples work tends to be short-term — often around 8 to 10 sessions before clients feel satisfied. However, this varies: as a general rule, the longer an issue has been present, the longer it usually takes to work through. Individual work can be longer, richer, and more exploratory, depending on what you’d like to get out of it.

(Please bear in mind that everyone’s situation is unique and differs, and also highly depends on your engagement with the process. In addition, my experience has shown me that emotional intelligence and self-awareness play a significant role in how quickly someone progresses in therapy.)
