My publishing career started over 10 years ago when I started writing for the relationship counselling service Relate. Since then I have gone on to specialise in writing about sex and porn addiction. My first book, Understanding and Treating Sex Addiction was published by Routledge in 2013, shortly followed by Sex Addiction – The Partners Perspective (Routledge 2016) and Confronting Porn (Care 2016). The second edition of Understanding & Treating Sex & Pornography Addiction is due to release August 2018 and my 5th book on sex addiction, Sex Addiction – A Guide for Couples, is due for release winter 2018.
