Online Psychosexual Therapy, available across the UK and Europe

Our sexual and intimate lives are among the most personal parts of who we are. When something feels difficult there, it can be hard to know where to turn, and harder still to walk into a consulting room to talk about it.

Online psychosexual therapy opens up that specialist support wherever you are. Many clients tell me that being at home actually makes certain conversations easier: no waiting room, no travel, no awkward moment at reception, no-one to recognise you.

Yes, for most people and most concerns. Research in online psychotherapy consistently finds similar outcomes to in-person work, and my own clinical experience echoes this. What drives the results is not the room. It is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, the training of the therapist, and the emotional safety of the space the two of you create.

There are a few situations where in-person work will suit better, for example, if you would find a screen disconnecting for the kinds of somatic awareness we do, or if you cannot guarantee a private, uninterrupted space at home. In a consultation call we can talk through whether online is a good fit for you.

Online psychosexual therapy is often the right choice if you:

• Live outside Chichester and West Sussex but want a COSRT-registered specialist
• Travel frequently or have unpredictable hours
• Have young children, disability, or caring responsibilities that make travel hard
• Prefer the privacy and familiarity of your own home for this kind of conversation
• Live abroad but want therapy in English with a UK-based therapist (I work with clients in Ireland and across Europe)
• Are seeking therapy discreetly and value not being seen in a local waiting room

Sessions run for 55 minutes via a secure, confidential video platform. The therapeutic work itself, the pacing, the care, the attention to nervous-system responses, is the same as in my in-person practice. What differs is the practical frame.

Setting up a useful session:

• A room where you will not be overheard and can close the door
• A stable internet connection and a device with a working camera
• Headphones if others are nearby, they help with privacy and can make the conversation feel less exposed.
• A glass of water and tissues within reach
• Ideally ten minutes either side of the session to arrive and settle

If the connection fails: I keep your phone number and will call you straight back if we drop out. A session will never simply end because of a tech issue.

Many people wonder whether the more somatic or embodied parts of psychosexual work translate online. They generally do. We can still notice breath, posture, the subtle signals of the nervous system and the places where words slow or catch. What happens between sessions, any awareness practices, reflective work, or exercises you do in your own time, is identical to in-person work.

Sessions are delivered through an encrypted, GDPR-compliant video platform. I will talk you through the practical steps that help keep online sessions feel private: how to protect against interruptions, what to do if a session is disturbed, and how to store any session-related notes securely.

• Format: Secure video, 55 minutes. Longer sessions available where helpful.
• Availability: Individuals across the UK and Ireland, across Europe.
• Frequency: Weekly at the start; flexibility later in the work.

A free 15-minute video consultation is a good first step, you get to try the format, test your setup, and see how it feels to talk to me on a screen before committing to anything.
