You want to be heard, supported and listened to.
I get it.
You’re in the right place.
I’m Alex. A UK sex and relationship therapist, clinical sexologist, and a qualified social worker with over ten years’ experience working with people through the complicated, messy and sometimes uncomfortable parts of life.
Across my career I’ve worked with people facing all sorts of challenges, but sex and relationships have always been at the heart of what interests me most. The reality is that sex is something almost everyone thinks about, worries about, Googles at 2am. And yet it’s still something people feel weird talking about out loud. That’s exactly where I come in.
Working as a social worker means I’m very used to conversations that feel exposing or difficult. I’ve sat with people through situations that were painful, confusing, and sometimes downright chaotic, and that experience means I’m calm and steady when things feel vulnerable or awkward. Talking about sex, intimacy, desire or relationships doesn’t faze me, and you’re very unlikely to shock me.
A lot of people come to sex and relationship therapy worried they’ll feel embarrassed or judged, or that they’ll say the wrong thing. You won’t need perfect words here. You don’t need a neat explanation. You just need somewhere you can be honest.
I aim to offer therapy that feels warm, real and approachable. Not stiff, clinical or intimidating. Conversations about sex and relationships don’t have to feel like a medical appointment. They can be thoughtful, open and human. Realistically, we might cry, laugh, swear a bit, and talk about things you’ve never said out loud before and all of that is welcome.
I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, including people exploring kink, BDSM and different relationship structures. There’s no expectation that you arrive with labels or answers. Therapy can be a place to figure things out, not somewhere you have to pretend you already know.
I currently offer online sex and relationship therapy across the UK, using a secure and confidential platform so you can access support wherever you are.
My aim is simple…to give you a space where you can talk openly about sex and relationships without feeling judged, embarrassed or like you have to filter yourself. From there, we can start to make sense of things together.

A little About Me - Outside of the office
I’m a sex and relationship therapist and clinical sexologist, and I’ve also been a social worker for more than ten years. I spend a lot of my working life talking about sex, relationships, and the things people often feel awkward or embarrassed bringing up but outside of work I’m just a normal person with a fairly ordinary life.
And I think that matters, because therapy works best when you feel like you’re talking to a real human being rather than a professional persona.
Most of my time outside work revolves around my three dogs - one of them is blind and completely unbothered by it. They’re chaotic, affectionate and very good at reminding me that life doesn’t have to be taken too seriously all the time. They’re also the main reason I get fresh air and step away from my screen.
I read a lot, and usually have at least one book or article on the go. Sometimes it’s fiction, sometimes it’s research that’s caught my interest, and sometimes it’s a complete rabbit hole I didn’t mean to fall into. Curiosity is a big part of who I am; it’s what makes me a therapist, but it’s also just how I move through the world.
I drink a lot of Diet Coke (probably more than I should) and there’s nearly always music on somewhere in the background. Rock and metal are my usual soundtrack whether I’m working, cooking or switching off for the evening.
I’m also heavily tattooed, with pink hair and piercings. That’s not something I tone down for work, it’s just who I am. I think being comfortable enough to be yourself is important, and I want the people I work with to feel that they can show up exactly as they are too with no pretending required.
Professionally, I offer online sex and relationship therapy across the UK, working with individuals and couples around sex, intimacy and relationships. I’ve spent over a decade supporting people through complicated and sometimes very personal situations, and that experience means I’m comfortable talking about things that can feel exposing or difficult to say out loud.
A lot of people worry about coming to sex and relationship therapy because they think what they want to talk about might be embarrassing or unusual. Most of the time it isn’t and even when it is, that’s still okay. You’re very unlikely to shock me.
Therapy with me is warm, direct and human. We might laugh, swear a bit, sit quietly, or talk about things you’ve never said out loud before. All of that is welcome.
You don’t need to arrive with perfect words or clear answers.
You just need somewhere to start.
