When you can stop you don't want to,
and when you want to stop, you can't...

Help is here for those affected by sex, romance and relationship addictions.  I am dedicated to guiding you, your partner and your family to restored relationships and freedom from acting out, shame, trauma and isolation.  As one of only a few seasoned specialists in this field, I am especially focussed on assisting couples whose bond has been damaged by sexual compulsivity.  Skilled and early intervention is necessary for optimal relational recovery.  Sensitive and confidential counselling is ensured.  

Checklist:

  • Do you feel guilty about your behaviours?

  • Have you experienced negative physical, emotional, financial or relational consequences as a result of your behaviours?

  • Are your behaviours taking up increasing amounts of time and energy?

  • Have you been unable to stop your behaviours despite repeated attempts?

  • Do other people have concerns about your behaviours?

If you have answered “yes” to any of the above questions, further exploration of your concerns is suggested.
