About me

My name is Val Northcote and I provide individual and couple’s relationship counselling as well as sex therapy. My fees range from £40 to £60 (initial telephone consultation free) dependent on the type of therapy offered and whether being seen as an individual or couple.

Counselling can provide a safe space to express, explore and resolve issues which may be causing you problems in life, both personal and or at work. I originally trained as an integrative counsellor, focusing on Humanistic ways of working including, Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Systemic ways of working.

I have since trained in relationship therapy and psychosexual therapy (sex therapy). Psychosexual Therapy is a Cognitive Behavioural approach which provides support for individuals and couples who have an identified sexual dysfunction as well as those who would like to improve their sexual relationship. This can include premature or rapid ejaculation, erection difficulties, loss or lack of desire, painful sex or inability to have sexual intercourse.

I have a special interest in addictions or compulsive behaviours which may include drugs, alcohol, internet, gambling, shopping, eating, the excessive use of pornography or out of control sexual behaviours. These sexual behaviours are sometimes referred to as sex addiction.

I believe it is important to find a way to work with my clients that feels comfortable to them and that they can understand. Therefore I may use some or all of the above approaches with you depending on your needs. I will always be respectful and ensure the service is confidential, this will be explained at our first session, and that you remain in control of the process. My style of working will be further explained at our first meeting.

Internet and telephone counselling is also available.
