David Peña-Charlon
As a therapist, I believe in the ability of individuals to heal and better their lives, transforming difficulties, trauma, and anxiety into personal insight.
I support individuals and couples with a wide range of issues that include concerns around sex and intimacy, communication and relationship difficulties, recovery from childhood trauma, sexual abuse, life transitions and searching for meaning, sexual orientation, gender difficulties, coming to terms with disability and fertility-related issues.
I offer integrative psychosexual and relationship therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I use different approaches from a variety of therapeutic models to suit your needs so that you are able to walk your own path towards self-knowledge, understand your current emotions and behaviours and gain insights about the influence of past experiences, family and society.
