When people think of fetishes, their minds often jump to extreme scenarios. But as a sex and relationship coach, I love exploring the softer, highly playful sides of kink, like the tickling fetish. This is an area where people love the feeling of being tickled, ranging from soft stroking along the skin to BDSM styles or more sensory play where there are light sensations over the body. It’s an incredible tool for intimacy because it allows people to feel at ease, laughing, sq

When it comes to building a deeply connected, thriving relationship, understanding how you and your partner give and receive affection is everything. This is where the concept of The 5 Love Languages becomes an invaluable tool.

Many of my coaching clients feel they cannot be open, honest, or raw with each other, especially regarding STIs and sharing results. With syphilis at a 77-year high and scabies jumping by 43%, the message is clear: society does more damage than the infections themselves. The fear of shame surrounds conditions that are easily treated. In my coaching, I believe a vibrant sex life is a pillar of overall wellness for both body and mind.

The home café trend is taking over social media, but it is much more than just a aesthetic home decor movement. As a sex and relationship coach, I look at the environments we build and how they affect our emotional state. Transforming a corner of your house into a cozy, personal coffee shop creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that you simply cannot get in a busy public space. Whether you are looking to reignite a romantic spark, support a friend in need of a heart-to-he

I see a lot of seniors navigating life after divorce or bereavement. But as Erobella’s data shows, this newfound freedom is being met with a silent threat, which is a 225% surge in syphilis among the over 65s. This isn't just a health crisis, it’s a symptom of being disconnected from our physical boundaries when it comes to sex. Many clients re-entering the dating world carry a safety barrier, the belief that because pregnancy is no longer a factor, their bodies are closed

With the massive success of The Summer I Turned Pretty on our screens and bookshelves, fans on TikTok have been locked in a fierce debate over Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah. But if we strip away the romantic music and look at the behavior objectively, Jeremiah's actions during the wedding storyline raise some serious, real-life relationship red flags. As a sex and relationship coach, I analyse these dynamics to help people spot toxic patterns in their own lives.

You would think the UK’s oldest, most prestigious universities would be leading the charge in student care. Instead, they frequently score the lowest for LGBTQ+ friendliness. Why? It really comes down to deep-seated institutional barriers. These older universities have been set in their ways for centuries. They are operating on archaic rulebooks that simply haven't moved with the times or evolved to match the cultural backgrounds of today's students.

When we think of wedding gifts, it is easy to get caught up in the standard department store registries. But as a sex and relationship coach, I look at gifts through a completely different lens: How will this token support the marriage long after the wedding day is over? Thoughtful, personalised keepsakes and experience-based gifts aren’t just beautiful objects; they are substantial representations of a couple's shared history and future dreams.

Every year, major media outlets drop their global sex and data surveys, and the headlines always spark a massive conversation. From shifting search terms to viral adult creator stunts, the data gives us a fascinating snapshot of human desire. But as a relationship and intimacy coach, I don't just look at what people are searching for. I look at the underlying cultural shifts, the psychological impacts, and what these numbers actually mean for our real-world bedroom habits. Le

Choosing to stay friends with an ex after a short-term relationship presents a very specific set of hurdles. While the romance might have been brief, the emotional fallout can be surprisingly intense. As a relationship coach, I often see clients struggle with lingering romantic or sexual feelings, unwanted attention, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining platonic boundaries when the breakup is still fresh.

It is one of the most common complaints I hear in my coaching practice, particularly from women: "I feel like I’m running the entire house by myself. I don't feel like a partner anymore, I feel like a mother to my husband." Despite living in modern times, society still largely pushes domestic chores into the woman’s domain. Let's be completely raw and real about this: it is exhausting. You both work, you both run the house, and maybe you are both parents.

As a sex and relationship coach, I often see couples looking for new ways to deepen their intimacy and explore their desires. One topic that frequently comes up in media commentary is cuckolding. While it might seem taboo to some, it is a highly popular and deeply intimate lifestyle choice when approached with honesty and respect. Here is a breakdown of what cuckolding actually is, why couples enjoy it, and how you can safely explore it.

Let’s talk about a dirty little secret that is currently hiding in one in five bedroom drawers. Recent survey data has revealed a shocking statistic: 20% of people are not cleaning their sex toys after every use.

Summer brings a shift in how we live, interact, and connect with others. While many look forward to the warmer months for holidays and socialising, data shows that sexually transmitted infections consistently rise during this time of year. Understanding the biological, environmental, and behavioral factors behind this seasonal spike is crucial for managing your sexual health. Here are the four distinct reasons why STIs peak in the summer.

We all have a type. For some, it’s a shared love for an obscure hobby. For others, it’s a highly specific physical trait, like a fixation on a partner’s hands, neck, or sculpted arms. Take a client of mine, let's call him Lorenzo. When it comes to dating, Lorenzo has an incredibly niche requirement: he is strictly looking for a girl with toned, beautiful arms. When someone has such laser-focused, niche requirements in dating, it begs the question: Is this just a harmless

Going away on holiday is the perfect opportunity for you and your partner to break away from the heavy routines and schedules of everyday life. When you leave your home environment, you also leave behind the constant lists, chores, and responsibilities that keep your system locked down. This break creates a beautiful, open space to completely focus on each other and explore your intimacy in a whole new way.

In my coaching practice, I often talk about creating intentional containers for connection. But recently, my husband Darren and I decided to take things a step further. We were approached to share a raw, unfiltered look into our intimate life, so we set ourselves a challenge: could we have sex every single day for seven days straight? Usually, as busy parents juggling work, yoga classes, and family life, we have sex about three times a week.

Having a clean house and being house proud is a great trait to have in a relationship. It tells the other person that you are responsible, organised, that you take care of your self and also your belongings. When dating it gives an overall great impression that you are clean and like a clean and tidy house and appearance. If you like a clean house, then you are more than likely to be a clean person yourself with hygiene. This is a great turn on for some people as a clean h

If you spend any time on the internet, you’ve probably scrolled past those viral "Am I The Arsehole?" relationship dilemmas. A recent one caught my eye, and as a relationship coach, I just had to break it down. Here’s the setup: A husband plans a getaway to a car race with his female best friend. He assumes his wife knows it’s a trip just for the two of them. Meanwhile, the wife assumes she is naturally invited along for a nice holiday, wanting to share an experience her h

Stepping away from traditional monogamy is one of the most exhilarating, powerful choices a secure couple can make. When done for the right reasons, opening up your relationship can have a profound effect on your shared intimacy, functioning as a massive catalyst for excitement, trust, and deep, internal confidence.
