As well as working with individuals and couples, I am qualified to work with children and young people and I hold an enhanced DBS certificate. I am currently training as a psychosexual therapist to help individuals and  couples address sexual problems and improve their sexual relationship, and I am a student member of COSRT, the professional body for Sexual and Relationship Therapists.
