Dear Reader This is the last newsletter for the year. December is not always the best time of the year for many reasons and 2024 has generally given us plenty of reasons to feel worried and anxious. The stressors of life often impact on relationships, and I think it's important sometimes to pull back, consider what else is going on in my life and whether some of the challenges or conflicts in my relationship are made more complex because of life's other factors. This month I am sharing my...

Dear Reader I am writing to you from Berlin, where I've enjoyed (and also melted a bit) the final week of hot summer, but now as I write, rain forms the background to my thoughts. I am in Berlin not for any particular reason, but being here always feels right. It's a very accepting and open-minded city. For the past few years, when I've visited I held a talk or workshop, and this time is no different. I've partnered again with Sarah from @monogamish_me to offer a 3 hour workshop next...

Dear Reader Summer is in full swing, London is sweltering (both a welcome and a worry at the same time) and everyone around me is planning their festivals and holidays. I figured I will send a concise, double-month newsletter before I too take off for a bit as well. If you are planning to book a session with me, I will be out of reach from the 25th of July to 13 August, aside from a few exceptions seeing regular counselling clients. If you are in or near London, I've shared some of the events...

Dear Reader I hope that you are starting to see spring around you. It could be the first buds emerging, new leaves on trees, certain birds returning.. or it could be an internal feeling of emerging from hybernation, renewed curiosity and a sense of adventure. This March newsletter addresses the recent spike of articles and media interest in polyamory - some positive, some negative and much of it uneducated and misdirected. I include links to some of my content that can help clear up some of...

Dear Reader I am not writing to you intentionally on Valentine's day week - I simply didn't get around to sending the newsletter at the start of the month. I had a week's snow-filled holiday at the end of January followed by a scheduled minor operation - a vasectomy, which needed a few days recovery at the start of this month. Curiously when I posted about my vasectomy on Threads, it received more likes by far, than anything I have posted there ever. Someone even accused me of being paid by...
