I help couples to explore their relationship, to resolve differences and to enjoy a fulfilling partnership. I also work with individuals whose partners may be unwilling to attend counselling with them, and with people who may not currently be in a relationship, but who want to better understand themselves and how they relate to others.
I am a qualified Relate-trained counsellor. (I hold Relate’s Graduate Certificate in Couple Counselling.) I have worked as a broadcaster, specialising in relationships, for the BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and national and local radio. I am the author of several sex and relationship books, published in the UK, USA and Europe:
· How Have Great Sex for the Rest of Your Life (Piatkus)
· Tantra: The Art of Mind-blowing Sex (Vermilion)
· The Breast Cancer Book (Vermilion)
· The Real Sex Kitten’s Handbook (Quadrille)
More details are on my Books page.
If you've come to this site you're probably considering couples counselling, or need a marriage guidance counsellor. I provide a confidential relationship counselling service for couples in the areas of Richmond, Kingston-upon-Thames, Elmbridge, Surrey and South West London. My counselling practice is based in East Molesey, by Hampton Court in Surrey. Take a look at the rest of this site to discover how I can help you build a more satisfying marriage or partnership.

You make an appointment for an initial one-hour assessment session. This gives us the opportunity to establish your goals for the counselling, for me to explain in detail how I work, and to confirm that we are able to work together. If I think you would benefit from seeing another specialist, I will say so.
Regular follow up sessions, which also last for an hour, are usually spaced a week apart and enable us to fully address your relationship issues.
See my Counselling page for more information and details of my fees.
