Ways you can work with me
I offer a mix of online and in-person options. My mindful gay sex and intimacy coaching packages focus on some of the most effective ways I’ve found to support and empower clients.
These are dynamic, multi-session pathways that are anything but ‘one-size-fits-all’!
I also offer non-erotic coaching for help navigating interactions and relationships with family, friends, partners, even work colleagues.
Life-skills for your love-life
Take your next steps towards a more connected love-life:
For individuals
From self-pleasure practice, to interactive erotic learning, whether online or in person, all one-to-one sessions with me are led by your body and your needs.
For couples
I can work with you both, online or in person, to help you open up new ways of creating mutually satisfying interactions, and learn new ways of communicating.
What is mindful sex coaching?
Mindful gay sex and intimacy coaching can help you with connection to self, confidence with what you want, improved relationships, deeper pleasure, more authentic arousal, better sex... and much more. When it comes to pleasure your journey really is as important as your destination!
How you can benefit from our work together
When it comes to pleasure and intimacy your body actually already has all the knowledge it needs - I simply help you to access it.
Using body-based principles I work collaboratively with you, giving you tools to help you (re)connect with yourself, and others.
My mindful gay sex and intimacy coaching packages and tailored intensives offer a space in which you can be held as safely as possible, and fully seen and heard, without judgement.
I'm based near the Scottish Highlands in the UK, offering sessions there, as well as London, Edinburgh, and online.
Who do I work with?
You'll see me use the words ‘gay’ and ‘man’ and 'male' on this site because they’re common terms many people search for when looking for support around intimacy, touch, or sex.
But I also know all those words can mean very different things for different people - and my own relationship with them is not fixed.
I work mainly with people who identify as male in some way, but however you describe yourself, you are welcome here – and I hope I may be able to support you.
