Kink

While kink, BDSM and fetish elements of life have become more mainstream in recent years, there are still many ways that participating in kink can feel alienating. This makes it vital to work with a therapist who understands and appreciates this part of your life. It can be difficult and uncomfortable to have to explain sexual practices, acronyms and unfamiliar terms to a mental health professional. Having been involved in the kink scene for many years I can talk to you about this aspect of life in an open, clear and judgement-free way.

Many people still feel a lot of shame about vocalising and engaging in their desires. This can lead to depression, anxiety, trouble in dating or relationships, and alienation from our friends and family.

Even if your reason for seeking therapy is not directly related to kink, if it’s part of your life, having a kink aware therapist can be incredibly beneficial. It means you can show up to therapy and be yourself fully, without having to worry about explaining this part of your life.
