Discussing intimate sexual and relationship issues with a new therapist can feel daunting, so here’s a little about me to help ease that first step.

​

I’m Candice, a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. I help people untangle the complex feelings around sex, relationships, and self-worth. Whether sex has started to feel like a chore, you're struggling to connect with a partner, or past shame is holding you back—you’re not alone.​

​​

Talking about sex and relationships can be hard, which is why I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can explore things freely and without judgement. No topic is too taboo, and no question too small. Whether you're rebuilding intimacy, processing past experiences, or reconnecting with yourself sexually, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to create a confidential space where you feel heard, supported, and respected.

​​

My approach is integrative, meaning sessions are tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic models, including Developmental Psychotherapy for couples, to help you lean into discomfort and build deeper emotional connection. We might explore how past experiences shape your relationships today—using tools like Attachment Theory or Transactional Analysis—or apply practical strategies from CBT. While I integrate different approaches, my work is grounded in humanistic values: empathy, collaboration, and a focus on what feels most relevant for you in the moment.

 

I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, erotic preferences, and relationship structures. With a background in humanitarian work and supporting survivors of sexual abuse, I aim to offer a safe, culturally sensitive space for people from all walks of life.

​

​Above all, therapy with me is flexible and collaborative. There’s no rigid formula—just space to explore what you need, when you’re ready.

​​

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out by emailing contact@candicewesttherapy.co.uk​​ - there’s no pressure. Just a space to see if I’m the right therapist for you.
