Elaine Tarsh BACP Accredited Counsellor

My name is Elaine Tarsh.  I am a Relate trained couples counsellor, sex therapist and sex and porn addiction therapist with 17 years experience.  I work with individuals, couples and partners.

I began working with porn and sex addiction because I could see its detrimental impact on people’s lives and relationships.  During relationship counselling, it was an often cited reason for couples to run into problems.  Frequently people didn’t understand their behaviour and why they continued to behave in ways that caused them such difficulties.

Professional Bodies

I am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), a member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC).  I provide sex therapy, relationship and couple counselling, and specialist porn addiction therapy.

How I work

Each client is an individual requiring a treatment programme that is unique to them.  I help clients to recover and move on, feel more comfortable in their lives and build and maintain happier and healthier relationships. 

I provide a professional, non-judgmental and confidential service.  The first appointment is assessment based to allow you to get to know me and see if I can help you.  My approach is compassionate, positive and practical.  I aim to help you understand your addiction, see its impact on you and those close to you, and find practical ways to overcome it.

I know, from experience, that deciding to seek counselling for online porn addiction or sex addiction can be challenging, and I aim to make the process as easy, accessible and comfortable as possible.   

I offer a free 15-minute no obligation introductory call.  This is not counselling but an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have and see if the way that I work will suit you at this time.   If you are thinking about counselling, get in touch so we can find a time to meet on a call or online.

If you want to find out more, please call me on 07577 992 918.  If I am to take your call, please leave a message, and I will call you back as soon as possible.

If you are in a crisis that may be life-threatening, please call 999 or contact The Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.
