The full range, named and unnamed.
What I work with
I specialise in Psychosexual and Relationship therapy, a distinct clinical discipline requiring specific postgraduate training and accreditation. This means I work with the full range of sexual and relational presentations, including those that other therapists may not be equipped to hold.
PSYCHOSEXUAL
Erectile difficulties, vaginismus, rapid ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, delayed or absent orgasm, painful sex, low or absent desire, desire discrepancy, compulsive sexual behaviour, pornography concerns, body image and sexual confidence, penis size anxiety, sexual shame, sexuality and identity exploration, kink-aware practice, sex and ageing, sex after injury, sex after illness, sex after cancer.
COMPULSIVE SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR
Compulsive sexual behaviour, problematic pornography use, sexual behaviour that feels out of control, the shame that can surround it, and its impact on relationships. A specialist area, with clinical experience gained at a Harley Street compulsive sexual behaviour clinic.
RELATIONSHIPS
Infidelity and trust repair, conflict and communication, intimacy and connection difficulties, relational breakdown and reconnection, family complications and estrangement, same-sex and queer relationships, mixed heritage and international relationships, interfaith and intercultural relationships, non-traditional and non-monogamous relationship structures, navigating ADHD traits in intimacy and connection
TRAUMA
Attachment trauma, sexual trauma and abuse, somatic and body-held trauma, the long reach of institutional and systemic harm
LIFE AND TRANSITIONS
New and expecting parents, pregnancy and the perinatal period, recovery and rehabilitation after genital injury, cancer or birth, grief and loss, identity transitions, life stage change
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL BARRIERS
The barriers that class, gender, culture, faith, disability and sexuality can place in the way of intimate and relational wellbeing, for anyone, regardless of background or identity
WORKING WITH OTHER PROFESSIONALS
Pelvic floor physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals are regular collaborators. Physical treatment alone often cannot reach the psychological, relational and emotional dimensions of sexual difficulty. Referrals often come from physiotherapists whose clients need more than the body can resolve on its own.

Introducing myself
I am Jordan Jaziri, a COSRT-accredited Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapist and Somatic Trauma Specialist based in Marylebone, London, working with clients internationally online.
My heritage is mixed: Chinese, Spanish and British. My marriage is cross-cultural too and I hold multiple cultural and relational frameworks simultaneously.
I train for strength and take part in team sports regularly.
Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology were my first degree, chosen because I wanted to understand and implement policy to create meaningful change towards a better society. Twenty years ago, before entering the consulting room, I worked alongside vulnerable victims in domestic violence and safeguarding. Severe cases of trauma and sexual distress became familiar territory to me, alongside relationship breakdown both inside and outside the system. I saw how it manifests differently for individuals and for couples, its impact on children and others around them. After recognising how the system’s shortcomings were almost a sticking plaster over much deeper issues, I instinctively understood that something more was needed. That recognition compelled me to address relationships at their core.
My training and professional development were self-funded throughout. I first trained in the foundations of Counselling and Psychology at Regent’s University London, then specialised through the London Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy (LDPRT), a rigorous two-year specialist training accredited by COSRT and credit-rated at Masters level (Level 7) by Middlesex University, graduating with a Distinction. During my training I was offered a clinical placement at a specialist compulsive sexual behaviour clinic on Harley Street, something rarely available to trainees in this field. Training and working across the NHS, within private clinics and in private practice taught me both the time-limited, protocol-driven nature of statutory care and the depth and continuity that private practice allows. I can work confidently within any of these frameworks. On graduating, I was offered a full-time position on Harley Street where I specialised in sexual compulsivity. My private practice quickly grew busy. Working alongside major therapists in the field has been a privilege and I feel very fortunate to align with them.
My writing and features have appeared across a number of leading publications and platforms. Since then, I’ve also begun to train other therapists in Psychosexual and Relationship work.
My training is not typical. Research across the profession consistently finds that most general therapy trainings include little or no formal education in sexuality, and in one survey of practising psychologists, 60 percent lacked the training or comfort to address sexual health at all. Recent research examining clinicians who advertise sex therapy found credentialing across the field to be markedly uneven, with many marketing the specialism without specialist training in it. Specialist accreditation exists to close that gap. Closing it is why I trained the way I did.

MY APPROACH

COSRT-ACCREDITED PSYCHOSEXUAL AND RELATIONSHIP PSYCHOTHERAPIST
WHAT I WORK WITH · HOW I WORK · FEES →
I understand you, the client, beyond diagnosis.
One-size-fits-all models don’t fit here, neither do behavioural exercises that feel clinical and disconnected from the actual texture of clients’ lives. I endeavour to pinpoint what’s clinically appropriate for each client rather than following a fixed model. Nobody is told what their sexuality, relationships or faith should look like: instead, we create conditions together to find whatever change matters for you. This work is relational, through and through, I believe the relationship itself is part of the work.
Integrative and humanistic, my approach is consistently attachment-based, trauma-informed and GSRD-informed (GSRD stands for Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity), never starting from an assumed default of who someone should be, love or desire. After graduating, I continued studying and training in somatic trauma with Babette Rothschild, one of the world’s leading specialists in the field, which shapes how I see the body: functioning in accordance with the state we’re in, rather than something to label as ‘dysfunction’. In Psychosexual work, understanding the body is where important material lives.
This work expands beyond traditional talking therapy. Psycho-educational tools can be genuinely useful at times, though never handed out as generic homework: if and when they’re used, they’re built around what that particular relationship actually needs.
