I'm a therapist and guide who will inspire you to reflect on the past, let go of what's holding you back, embrace your true self and create a life that feels free and fulfilled.
HELLO, I'm Di.
I’m a Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapist and Intimacy Coach.
I know what it's like to suppress my fullness and hide parts of me to be accepted and belong. And I've had my fair share of relationship challenges.
I also know the liberation and joy that comes from laying all of that down, stepping into your true, colourful self and saying: "this is me."
​
My lived experience is why I do what I do. It's as personal as it is professional. I'm passionate about creating a space where you don’t have to shrink, censor, or contort yourself to fit in.
Here, all of you is welcome: your desires, your quirks, your kinks, your fears and your untold stories.
My Approach
I don’t believe in one “right” way to do therapy. Instead, I take a pluralistic approach. This means I work with a range of therapeutic approaches depending on who I'm working with and what they're bringing.
I believe that different people want and benefit from different things in therapy.​ Therapy with me is collaborative: we’ll work together to find a way that feels natural, effective, and respectful.
​
I’m especially passionate about working with people who may have felt judged or marginalised by traditional therapy — people in LGBTQIA+ communities, who are queer, kinky, non-monogamous, or simply those who’ve been told they’re “too much” or “not enough.”
With me, you’re not too much. You’re not wrong. I will meet you where you are, human to human.
Behind the Scenes
I'm a down-to-earth, passionate and insightful therapist, stepping into my 60s with greater self-acceptance, and more freedom and joy than ever before.
You’ll often find me…​
​
𖤓 In the woods or the water
𖤓 Advocating for social justice
𖤓 Exploring new people and places, near and far
𖤓 Walking my gorgeous Chocolate Labrador
𖤓 Getting lost in a good book
𖤓 And exploring love and pleasure my way, because they are sacred to me feeling fully alive!
​
I bring this same colour and spirit into my work.
Clients don’t get a half-version of me, they get the whole lot: warmth, courage, humour, and a fierce belief that intimacy and connection are life-giving.
My Credentials
(here's the serious bit)
-
Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy
-
Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy
-
Accredited Member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists
-
Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
​
I also work as a trainer and supervisor because I believe in growing people past me. Supporting fellow therapists to thrive and bring more authenticity into the profession is a passion close to my heart.
​
Perhaps the thing I'm most proud of is founding Your Time To Talk, a welcoming and inclusive practice where each and every one of our therapists is committed to social justice and working within diversity. And because I believe therapy should be available to everyone, Your Time To Talk offers low-cost relationship and sex therapy for people on low incomes, key workers and students.
