In 2013 I was involved in a serious car accident that ended my sucessful photography career. Five years later many of the physical symptoms were improving, but psychologically I was was no better off. Heavily addicted to pharmaceutical drugs I was still unable to cross the road unaided or even operate a camera. Years of cognitive behavioural therapy had left me feeling broken. At this stage probably due to heavy use of pharmaceutical drugs I was unable to perform sexually or even sing or dance. The colour had drained out of my world. I sought the help of a somatic sex therapist & counsellor. I was so amazed and delighted by the results, making more progress in five months than I had in five years. I decided to study in the field of embodied counselling and sexological bodywork / somatic sexology through the Australian Institute of Somatic Sexology. Since then I has given and received hundreds of sessions both in person and online over zoom.
The areas I is most passionate about are men’s issues, working with couples, working with groups, sexual abuse survivors (this needs to be in conjunction with or after some trauma therapy), group workshops and teaching Erotic Embodiment classes.
