Hello And Welcome!

 

I'm Tiga-Rose Nercessian (she/her)

I’m an accredited Sex & Relationship Psychotherapist and qualified general Counsellor. I’m also a specialist trainer in working with neurodivergent adults.

As well as extensive training, I have an innate awareness of what most people don’t look at, either because they don’t want to or can’t bring themselves to do so alone.

Working with me isn't for everyone. Personally, I am a queer, multi-neurodivergent, multi-ethnic synaesthete. These aspects of who I am form and inform me and my practice.

Using a trauma-informed approach, when we work together, it’s important that you feel heard, held, seen, and safe. My aim is to support and empower you to have happier, healthier, and more fulfilling intimate relationships with yourself and others – whatever that looks like for you.

What Clients Are Saying

 

"When I started working with Tiga-Rose, I had just turned 41. I was single (again!) and desperate to find a partner and have a child. I was not focused on the traditional monogamous relationship. My goal was to work on my limitations and traumas, which I did. I'm now in a very intense and fulfilling relationship with one man and pregnant with another!"

- F.H.

"News news news! I had an orgasm through oral for the first time this week! My partner has always been wildly enthusiastic and totally useless. I channelled what you taught me about communication and got super specific about what works for me. Super fun!"

- G.M.

"I am a psychotherapist and have done a lot of work on myself but sexual desire has always been the trickiest. Tiga-Rose's clarity, empathy, and broad base of knowledge helped me better understand and claim myself. There's still so much to learn but I feel much less alone."

- T.W.
