When you can stop you don't want to,

- Luke Davies -
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.
