About the Centre
Specialist knowledge. A shared commitment.
We believe that specialist therapy should be inclusive, respectful and accessible to people from different backgrounds and with different experiences of relationships, intimacy and sexuality.
Our story
Understanding people.
In the context of their lives.
The Centre began with a vision to bridge gaps in specialist relationship and psychosexual support.
Our founder, Tam, is a registered social worker with experience working with relationship issues, adoption and care experience. Alongside this professional experience, Tam trained as a relationship and psychosexual therapist.
This combination of social work, relationship and psychosexual expertise has shaped the Centre's approach: understanding the individual within the wider context of their relationships, experiences, identity and circumstances.
We believe that specialist therapy should be inclusive, respectful and accessible to people from different backgrounds and with different experiences of relationships, intimacy and sexuality.
Our aim is to bring together practitioners with complementary specialist skills so that clients can access the right support for their individual needs.

How we work
At your pace.
Alongside you.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, particularly when the subject involves sex, intimacy or relationship difficulties.
We aim to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
Therapy begins with understanding what has brought you to us and what you would like to change. Your therapist will work with you to explore your concerns at a pace that feels appropriate.
Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on areas such as communication, intimacy, sexual difficulties, relationship patterns, emotional connection, confidence, past experiences or other factors affecting your relationships.
Our approach is collaborative. Rather than telling you what you should do, we work alongside you to develop greater understanding and identify practical ways forward.
Individual therapy
Individual psychosexual or relationship therapy can provide a confidential space to explore personal concerns, sexual wellbeing, relationship experiences and difficulties that may be affecting your life.
Couples & relationship therapy
We work with couples and people in a range of relationships to explore communication, intimacy, conflict, connection and other relationship concerns.
Inclusive practice
We welcome people from diverse cultural, sexual and relationship backgrounds. We recognise that relationships can take many forms and aim to provide therapy that respects your identity, values and lived experience.
