*Regarding my approach to sexual concerns: I understand that concerns about sexual behaviours and pornography use can cause genuine distress and confusion. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore these issues. While I don’t recognise “sex addiction” or “porn addiction” as clinical diagnoses (as there is insufficient empirical evidence supporting these classifications), I deeply respect your lived experience and the challenges you may be facing. My practice aligns with the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counsellors and Therapists (AASECT) Position Statement which can be found here. I approach concerns about distress and compulsive behavior’s through evidence-based, trauma-informed therapeutic methods. My approach honors your unique relationship with sexuality rather than pathologising sexual behaviours, focusing instead on understanding underlying factors and developing healthier patterns.
