Qualifications

I qualified as a Specialty Doctor in Sexual Health in 1995 and in recognition of my longstanding contribution to this Specialty I have been awarded the Fellowship of the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare.

The sexual wellbeing of my patients has been at the core of my work ever since I started, which made it a necessity for me to be able to address not only the physical side but also the emotional aspects of sexual wellbeing; I began training with the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine in 1999, completed my Membership in 2002, and expanded my training in 2013. I currently hold the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy, and I am accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT).

Clinical Experience in Body-Mind Medicine

I see patients with sexual health problems, be it physical or psychosexual, within my NHS work, and I have an independent relationship and psychosexual therapy practice.

This means that when I am consulted by an individual or a couple presenting with a sexual difficulty, which often presents as physical in nature, I have the knowledge and the experience to be able to understand fully what the causes are and help untangle the knot of physical, emotional, and socio-cultural factors at play.

I am qualified to treat both the physical and psychological aspects
of sexual difficulties.

Relationship Therapy 

I am also qualified to help with relationship difficulties; therapy can help couples attain more loving, supportive and deeply satisfying relationships.

Accountability

I am a fully licensed medical practitioner revalidated by the General Medical Council.

I subscribe to the COSRT code of ethics and conduct procedures. My annual appraisal ensures that I am externally held to account to maintain my accreditations, reflect on my practice, and keep up to date.

My experience also ensures a safe, professional service, where I work only within the limits of my expertise and may suggest working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals depending on client's needs.

My work is regularly supervised.

My Practice Promotes:

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
