My Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed. I work with both individuals and couples, offering couples therapy, relationship therapy, psychosexual (sex) therapy, and individual psychotherapy for a wide range of emotional, relational, and sexual concerns.

I draw on a number of evidence-based therapeutic models, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, attachment-based therapy, the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each person or couple, supporting both deeper understanding and practical change.

In couples and relationship therapy, I help partners explore patterns of communication, conflict, and emotional disconnection. Together we work to improve understanding, rebuild trust, and develop healthier ways of relating. This may involve addressing issues such as repeated arguments, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, desire differences, and life transitions affecting the relationship.

In individual therapy, I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and stress related to work or life changes. Therapy offers a space to reflect on patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop greater emotional resilience.

I aim to provide a safe, thoughtful, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where complex or sensitive issues can be explored at a pace that feels manageable. My practice is GSRD-aware and sex-positive, and I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ clients, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

The focus of my work is to support clients in developing insight, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

About Me

am Rosalind Simpson, an accredited psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 25 years’ experience working with individuals and couples. I offer couples therapy, relationship therapy, psychosexual (sex) therapy, and individual psychotherapy, supporting people experiencing emotional, relational, and sexual difficulties.

I work in person from my practice in Dalston, Hackney (East London, N16) and online with clients across the UK and internationally.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy. I tailor my work to the needs of each individual or couple, creating a collaborative therapeutic process that supports insight, emotional understanding, and meaningful change.

I work with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, communication problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. In my psychosexual work I support individuals and couples experiencing sexual difficulties, intimacy concerns, desire differences, performance anxiety, erectile difficulties, vaginismus, orgasm difficulties, and the impact of physical health conditions on sexual wellbeing.

I offer a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where people can explore complex or sensitive issues. My practice is GSRD-aware and sex-positive, and I work with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ clients, non-monogamous relationships, polyamory, and kink/BDSM communities.

Alongside regular therapy sessions, I also offer bespoke intensive therapy weekends for individuals and couples who wish to focus deeply on particular relational or emotional difficulties.

In addition to my clinical work, I am an accredited supervisor with UKCP and COSRT, providing supervision for therapists, trainees, and professionals working in caring roles.

I offer a free initial 15-minute Zoom consultation to discuss your needs and consider whether working together feels like the right fit.
