Sex and love addiction can be deeply painful and isolating — marked by compulsive sexual behaviour, obsessive romantic patterns, and an intense fear of being alone. I provide specialist, confidential therapy to help you understand the root causes of these patterns and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others.
Sex and love addiction isn't about how much sex you have or how many relationships you've been in — it's about the relationship you have with sex, romance, and intimacy, and whether these patterns are causing harm.
Sex and love addiction involves repeated patterns of compulsive sexual behaviour, obsessive romantic fantasies, or an overwhelming need for validation through relationships — despite negative consequences.
Many who struggle with these patterns have experienced childhood emotional neglect, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving. My trauma-informed approach helps you trace these patterns back to their origins.
Beneath the surface often lies a deep fear of genuine intimacy — paired with an equally powerful fear of abandonment. Therapy helps you explore this push-pull dynamic with compassion and understanding.
Shame is often the core driver of sex and love addiction. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work through these feelings and build genuine self-worth that isn't dependent on others.
Recovery from sex and love addiction is possible. My integrative approach combines trauma-informed care with specialist addiction expertise.
We'll explore the emotional and developmental roots of your compulsive behaviours — tracing them back to attachment wounds, trauma, and unmet childhood needs.
Shame thrives in secrecy. In a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, we can bring these patterns into the light and reduce their power over you.
Learn to tolerate genuine closeness without losing yourself — and to be alone without feeling abandoned. Develop relationships based on authenticity, not compulsion.
Develop practical strategies to manage triggers, regulate emotions, and maintain healthy boundaries — building a sustainable recovery plan for the long term.
Recovery from sex and love addiction is possible. I integrate Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approaches to support lasting change.
I know how hard it can be to reach out about these issues. Every enquiry is handled with the utmost confidentiality and without judgement. I'll respond personally, usually within 24 hours.
