Media contributions and press

I have written for and contributed to UK media on sexual health, compulsive sexual behaviour, chemsex, sexual shame, and clinical sexology, including in the Huffington Post, Metro, and Sky News. I am available to journalists, producers, and editors for clinical commentary, editorial review of copy, and on-the-record contributions in this area.

Published research

Two peer-reviewed papers in Sexual and Relationship Therapy (2026). Details on the Research page.

Editorial principles

I am happy to expert-review draft copy on clinical sexology, compulsive sexual behaviour, chemsex, and related areas before publication to ensure clinical accuracy. Patient identifiability is never compromised in any contribution I make. I do not participate in editorial framing that reduces compulsive sexual behaviour to character failure, treats men as pathological, or sensationalises chemsex.
