John Reilly-Dixon

I am a Relate-trained sex and relationship therapist having initially qualified as a couple counsellor in 2007 before undertaking postgraduate training in sex and relationship therapy.

As a counsellor I have a broad range of experience working in the charitable and statutory sectors as well as in private practice. I have a particular interest in working with GSRD clients and have previously worked as an outreach and groups worker for an organisation supporting the LGBTQI+ community.

I currently have a portfolio career splitting my time between my role as an academic and clinical practice. I have previously held posts in the NHS as a specialist psychosexual therapist and with Relate as a family counsellor, relationship therapist and psychosexual therapist. I continue to practice as a psychosexual and relationship therapist in private practice. I am accredited as a sex and relationship therapist with COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists), a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and an accredited registrant with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

I hold an MA in Relationship Therapy and a PgDip in Psychosexual Therapy and I am currently undertaking a PhD with the University of Huddersfield exploring the relationship support needs of nonbinary people and the role of relationship therapy in providing support.
