My Approach

Areas of Specialism
I specialise in working with all people looking to explore their Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity. My specialisms include Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB), Clinical Sexology for Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), how to think about parenting and the complexity of our attachments. 

I am passionate about working with the LGBTQi+ community in a variety of ways and have a particular interest in working with men who are questioning or confused about their sexuality or want to find acceptance within their sexuality. People who have entered a heterosexual marriage where questions regarding sexuality have arisen later.

I work with people experiencing Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB). Whilst these behaviours can be considered an ‘addiction’ such as sex addiction or porn addiction by many professionals, it is important to know that I do not practice from an addiction model or view these behaviours as being an addiction. This is in line with the latest contemporary thinking from sexology. I support fully the need to ban the harmful practice of conversion therapy.

I work well with BDSM, kinks, kinksters and fetish.

For men who have sex with men (MSM) and who want to talk about the use of Chems or Chemsex, please contact me. Chemsex is not always manageable for everyone. We can discuss whats happening and where appropriate signpost to some great organisations that are able to offer the right support. Safety is paramount. 

I hold an Advanced Accreditation with Pink Therapy in Gender Sex Relationship Diversity

I also work with colleagues from Sex Positivty UK

About Me

My name is Gareth.
I use the pronouns  he | him | his |

I currently work exclusively online

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist holding an advanced accreditation with Pink Therapy as a Gender, Sex, Relationship Diversity (GSRD) therapist. A diploma with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS) in Compulsive Sexual Behaviours, accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT).

My core training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy was at the The Bowlby Centre in London. An istitute that focuses on John Bowlby's important theory of Attachment. I practice clinically from a position of pluralsim as I believe not one approach or one idea can support the complexity of our human experince.  

I am a full clinical member of the College for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis (CPJA) a college with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and The European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP). 

I offer therapy that is relational, sex-positive, collaborative, and LGBTQi+ affirmative. My lived experience is integral to how I work. 
I draw on interventions and ideas from multiple modalities, namely, contemporary sexology, Gender, Sex, Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I will introduce ideas of Mindfulness and meditation within our work to support the difficult and challenging times in life  we all experince.  
In addition, I have been trained to work therapeutically in a trauma informed way.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

The most frequent sexual problems facing men at the moment include problematic use of porn / pornography. Regardless of your relationship status you might feel that your porn use is getting in the way of life. Other problems include unreliable erections and rapid ejaculation and a loss of sexual desire for partnered or solo / self sex masterbation.
I work with people experiencing Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB). Whilst these behaviours can be considered an ‘addiction’ such as sex addiction or porn addiction by many professionals, it is important to know that I do not practice from an addiction model or view these behaviours as being an addiction. This is in line with the latest contemporary thinking from sexology. I support fully the need to ban the harmful practice of conversion therapy. I work well with BDSM, kinks, kinksters and fetish. For men who have sex with men (MSM) and who want to talk about the use of Chems or Chemsex, please contact me. Chemsex is not always manageable for everyone. We can discuss whats happening and where appropriate signpost to some great organisations that are able to offer the right support. Safety is paramount. 
It can be difficult to find a meaning to our sexuality, sexual desires and how we experience our sexuality, especially with significant pressure coming from many social and family norms that often reflect negative ideas regarding sexuality, our sexual desires and sexual practice, leaving people confused regarding what is right and 'normal'. It can be difficult to find a safe space away from the dominant heterosexual society to explore openly and decide what feels right for you. I specialise in working with all people looking to explore their Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity. My specialisms include Compulsive Sexual Behaviours (CSB), Clinical Sexology for Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), how to think about parenting and the complexity of our attachments.  I can offer you a safe space that is non-judgmental to explore your sexuality, sexual feelings, sexual desires, sexual practice preferences in depth in order for you to make sense of it all. This process will enable you to make choices for what is best for you. I am experienced in exploring all types of sexual desires and practice including Kink and BDSM. I work with all kinds of relationships including monogamy, diverse open relationship styles. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQi+ community in a variety of ways and have a particular interest in working with men who are questioning or confused about their sexuality or want to find acceptance within their sexuality. People who have entered a heterosexual marriage where questions regarding sexuality have arisen later.
