My story

I never imagined I would be divorced with two kids at 35. For me, love and marriage were a forever thing – how did I end up here? I had been wildly naïve about what it took to keep long-lasting love alive. Mine died a painful death. The years that followed were grief and hard-earned growth. I went on a personal and professional journey into the depths of finding out what it takes to make relationships work. Not just to stop them dying, but to truly keep them alive.

The expertise I have gained has come through my own blood, sweat and tears – and an unhealthy obsession with Esther Perel, Terry Real and a number of gurus in the field. I worked hard and grafted through years of specialised therapy training, enabling me to become a fully qualified Psychosexual (Sex) and Relationship Therapist.

After Inlove was born out of my desire to reach you in the middle of it all. After the honeymoon. After the sharing of home and bills. After kids or fertility struggles. After the affair. After the constant fighting. After the dull sense of stuckness. After the drifting apart. After the sex life goes stale. After whatever issue you are facing alone or together.

My aim is to provide you with quality relationship and sex therapy that will help you overcome every hurdle you are facing and reap the rewards of healthy long-term love. Why work with me? Because I bring knowledge and expertise through my years of training, as well as hard earned insight and wisdom through my personal journey. I am warm and direct. Compassionate and challenging. I am highly ambitious for your relationship and I won’t let you settle for less than the best.

I look forward to working with you.
