Who we are

• CEO AND CO-FOUNDER OF CONTROLLING CHEMSEX

After having experienced serious problems with chems myself for years, suffering from severe GHB dependency in different periods of my life, and after having used Tina and many other substances on a daily basis for a long time, I have been working tirelessly since 2008 supporting men who are struggling with Chemsex, presenting with issues such as isolation, trauma, homophobia, very low self esteem, experiencing serious difficulties with engaging in sex sober or experiencing any kind of intimacy, HIV issues, etc. I can’t deny that I struggled with many of these issues myself in the past because of my drug use, and that is why I can say out loud that there is life after chemsex, and happiness is also an option.

For all these years I have been working very passionatelyin the finest services in the UK that offers Chemsex support, such as Antidote, Club Drug Clinic, Turning Point and between 2011 and 2020 I was a Chemsex specialist advisor at 56 Dean Street Sexual Health Clinic. I have seen between 12-15 people a week for years, which makes thousands of them in my whole career, providing brief interventions as well as more structured support in order to help them to take the control back over their chems use.

In 2019, as an activist, I started to provide chemsex support on Grindr and Scruff in London, and the response was so huge that very soon it was clear that there was a very urgent need to professionalise this kind of support that nobody else was providing before. Those are the platforms where so many people contact with one another who are looking for chemsex, and it was basic to start to operate there. Additionally, many people were reporting that the paranoia that they were experiencing because of their drug use was preventing them from contacting traditional chemsex support, as well as big fear of people knowing about it because of the stigma, which highlighted the need of being able to offer an option to get help anonymously. That is why we only work online, which has been extremely useful since the coronavirus appeared, and why, together with other professionals, we created Controlling Chemsex. I am very proud of my journey, I am who I am because I was who I was and I did what I did, and precisely because of all that, today there is a service that is bringing hope and highly effective chemsex support to so many people who are in a situation where is impossible to believe that some of the best days of their lives haven’t happened yet.

• EMAIL PROGRAMME LEAD & CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

My name is Dan and I have worked as a Chemsex adviser since April 2019.

I have been working in health and wellbeing since 2007, in areas such as cardiac, metabolic and more recently, sexual health. My roles have allowed me to assist people with making positive and sustainable health changes. 

My current role as a sexual health adviser often involves working with our LGBT+ community, and problematic Chems use is a common theme. 

As a gay man, I felt it was important to provide help for those experiencing difficulty with their substance use, and that I was well positioned to give this support having experienced difficulty myself in the past. This prompted me to complete a certificate of Addiction Treatment: Clinical Skills for Healthcare Providers. I absolutely believe in a multidisciplinary approach that involves a number of health professionals, and that the support that I provide is an integral part of a larger team. 

I enjoy working with anyone who is keen to make changes, and I enjoy the challenge of helping people find their individual way back to living a more beautiful life.

• HEAD OF SUPERVISION

I’m Daniel.  I’m a psychotherapist working with clients on issues including identity, self-acceptance, understanding and managing emotions, and purpose and meaning.  I'm also a qualified organisational and social psychologist and an executive coach. 

I've previously worked as a mentor for the Albert Kennedy Trust, supporting LGBTQ+ young people manage issues around identity, coming out, relationships, housing and homelessness. I'm grateful to have the opportunity through Controlling Chemsex to support people dealing with issues around sex, sexuality and substance use.

In my therapeutic work, my aim is to help make it safe for people to be themselves.  What this means to me is helping people know and understand themselves better, so they have a solid foundation from which to grow and develop, and to forge satisfying and rewarding relationships with others. 

Prior to retraining as a psychologist and psychotherapist I worked in corporate finance in the City, so I have a good understanding of the intense pressures to perform and conform that many of us manage in our day to day working lives.

• CARE COORDINATOR AND PSYCHOSEXUAL THERAPY LEAD

Hello. I'm Damien, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Originally from the south of France, I have lived in Brighton since 2018 and have been involved with Controlling Chemsex since February 2023. I qualified as a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist in June 2024 and began my journey as a trainee therapist at the Priory Hospital North London in September 2021.

I have a lived experience and a psychological understanding of some of the pitfalls of the gay community, which is why I am so eager to support queer men in recovery. Empowering my community and its individuals by fostering a sense of belonging, acceptance, and pleasure is what I am passionate about, so let's step outside of our comfort zones and start addressing the shame, stigmatisation, isolation and relational issues that are getting in the way of a more fulfilling existence.  

I am also a member of the ESL (English as a Second Language) community. I can relate to people minoritised on different levels and feel comfortable working on intersectionalities and within spectrums like gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, etc.

Some of my favourite books are White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, Straight Jacket by Matthew Todd, The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs, The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, and Unmasking Autism by Dr Devon Price.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello my name is Philip, and I am a Londoner, living in Hackney with my Brazilian husband. I have always been a gay rights activist: fighting for gay rights in every area of life, with policies, zaps, kiss ins and demonstrations. Now my activism involves volunteering to help gay men caught up in the dark and confusing world of Chemsex

I started to provide Chemsex support since 2015 and am now volunteering at 3 different London based Chemsex organisations as well as helping a number of friends in trouble. I managed to successfully overcome my own unhealthy and destructive lifestyle after a number of crises in 2012 and believe that it is up to us as a community, as it was 30 years ago, to support each other in a world where we can still be invisible and vulnerable.

I have spent most of my professional life in education and believe that this work has a lot of similarities with Chemsex support   We provide empathy and a non judgmental ear but within a clear system of skills, organisation and boundaries. Providing a structure and a helping hand to support our journeys towards happier and more rewarding sense of self..

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

After experiencing a personal loss of a friend due to complications with their addiction and involvement with chemsex, I decided to give back to the community knowing that at the time, there wasn't enough being been done to support people who were affected by the chems and chem sex scene, or even post support for chem users and their friends and family.

Looking at this gap, I volunteered with London Friend where I developed many years experience as a senior key worker within their substance and alcohol support group, Antidote. While at Antidote I gained the most of my experience in supporting LGBT people that had control issues around substance and alcohol use.

From Antidote, I worked with Positive UK and Positive East supporting their network of friends and family affected by HIV.

After a few years gap from volunteering, this brings me to the last few months where I have been working with Ignacio to help develop, deploy and support the group Controllingchemsex, an online service that helps the LGBT community with their direct and indirect effects of chem sex.

I hope to continue the work with Ignacio in creating and continuing a unique service for people affected by chems and chemsex, providing much needed support for London, UK and the rest of the world utilising online tools to help the people receive much needed support.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hi, I'm Nick.

I've been working in the healthcare space since 2014 and started volunteering with Controlling Chemsex in 2022. I stumbled across this charity and instantly fell in love with its mission and work. Having seen the damage and devastation that Chemsex can have on someone's life, I knew this was an area I wanted to get involved in. It's clear that Chemsex is on the increase and the demand for help is multiplying, and I wanted to help as much as I can. 

It's so important for those who are suffering to know that there is support out there and things can change for the better. I love being part of a mission to help people take back control of their lives and make a positive change. It's a wonderful privilege to be a part of the process and I want anyone who's suffering to know that things can get better. I've loved every second of being a part of Controlling Chemsex and I can't wait to continue my journey with the organisation that feels like home.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello, my name is Adrian and I'm one of the Chemsex Specialist Advisors at CONTROLLING CHEMSEX.

In 2022 I joined the Controlling Chemsex team, getting ready to become a chemsex specialist advisor. I got training for nearly 6 months in order to get prepared to start seeing clients, learning about motivational interviewing, harm reduction, reconnecting with joyful things in life, delivery of effective strategies for people to learn how to manage cravings, how to identify triggers, how to reconnect with sober sex and intimacy, etc. Since then, I have been working passionately supporting people who are struggling with this phenomenon.

My passion and mission are to accompany others on their journey of healing and regaining joy and authenticity into their lives. I provide an empathetic, safe, and supportive environment in which clients can speak freely without fear of judgment.

It's such a privilege to be a part of the CONTROLLING CHEMSEX family. We care, we work hard and we are committed to helping others who are where many of us were in the past.

Who Am I outside of Therapy? I was born in the Caribbean with South American parents and have been living in London for 13 years. Perhaps because of living in different countries, I'm very curious of different cultures and backgrounds. I am happiest around friends, family and great food!

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

I'm Martin, originally from Barcelona, Spain. I was raised in a family with several addiction problems which forced me to understand the addictive behaviour from a different perspective. Due to this I developed curiosity about drugs since I was young having troubles with them at some points of my life. After a long walk of personal work and spirituality I discovered how beautiful life is when we connect with the simplicity of it. I learnt the healing power of mindfulness and I’m helping others trough this tool. 

I've been deeply involved with the LGTBIQ+ community in the last few years which allows me to understand and learn more about our needs. I was coordinating social events in a LGBTQ+ basketball team, working to create a little family trough the sport.

My interest in chemsex started living in London and seeing how it was affecting some of my friends in every area of their life, and trying to help them I discovered it was more than drugs and sex. For that I decided to involve me in volunteering and help as much as I can to support others in that situation.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

I'm Jennifer, a transgender woman originally from Brazil. I moved to the UK in 2001, and in July 2024, I graduated with first-class honours in Psychology from London Metropolitan University. My passion for understanding human behaviour and mental processes has driven me to develop knowledge in cognitive psychology, behavioural science, and mental health.

In January 2023, I joined Controlling Chemsex and since then I have been helping service users to take control back. My long-term goal is to become a counselling psychotherapist, dedicating my life to helping others, especially those within the LGBT community. I’m committed to supporting individuals in managing Chemsex, making services accessible, reducing health risks, promoting healthy boundaries, and supporting sober intimacy and community reconnection.

I am interested in this phenomenon because I have seen how deeply it affects the lives of friends, loved ones, and everyone around them, and we all have to work together as a community.

Helping others rediscover health, happiness, and authenticity is not just my passion. It’s my purpose. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to heal and grow. I can’t wait to continue this journey, making a difference in people's lives one step at a time.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello there! My name is Hugo, I am originally from Brazil but London is home now. I have been with Controlling Chemsex since 2023 as a Chemsex Specialist Advisor, and I feel very passionate about the work that we do.

Having noticed a spike in substance abuse and isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt compelled to support our community and help people get back to living their lives to the fullest, without the fear of being under the control of their addiction.

In a society that is so often exclusionary, shaming and increasingly isolated, I maintain that we are all worthy of being loved, of community, of experimenting and being curious, of having fun, and for that, self-awareness and self-care are paramount.

In my approach to keyworking I will always foster openness, trust, empathy, and clear communication. I am also a sex-positive person and I believe a lot can be achieved by engaging in non-judgemental, kind, safe, and honest conversations around sex and intimacy.

If you got to this point- you are in the right place, and it will be my absolute privilege to help you heal and thrive.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

My name is Andrew, and I am a clinical student with the College of Social Work at the University of Tennessee (USA), specializing in addiction and trauma treatment. I have volunteered with Controlling Chemsex since 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

After my personal clash with chemsex, I saw a glaring need for culturally-tailored support and an addiction treatment field shrugging its shoulders, unsure where to begin. Chemsex asks us to rethink our conventional understanding of addiction and become curious about each individual's unique experience of it. I am honoured to be a part of an organization that is willing to pioneer a new approach. Controlling Chemsex sees that unfulfilled need and embraces the challenge, instilling hope that lasting change is possible. 

When we understand our relationship with drugs and sex, we better understand ourselves. When we learn to accept ourselves just as we are, we can begin the process of change and enrich our relationships with others.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello, my name is Matthew and I am thrilled to serve as the Care Coordinator as well as a Chemsex Specialist Advisor here at Controlling Chemsex.

My passion lies in empowering individuals to reconnect with their goals and aspirations. I believe that people struggling with chemsex can reclaim control of their lives and pursue their dreams, even if it feels impossibly difficult. As chemsex continues to be a growing challenge, particularly within the MSM community, I believe that it's in providing compassion and understanding rather than judgement that we'll tackle this phenomenon. We all face moments where we need support, and I am honored to be there for those reaching out.

As an ICF accredited coach, I work with individuals and organizations on personal and professional development, both one-on-one and within group settings. Originally from Canada, I have lived in various countries over the past decade, fostering a passion for collaboration across cultures and languages. My love of learning languages fuels this passion, allowing me to connect with people from all backgrounds.

In addition to my work with Controlling Chemsex, I have been a volunteer with an LGBTQIA+ Support Line since 2021, where I also mentor other volunteers and am currently the coordinator of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion team.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello, my name is Dallas and I am the Founder of Recovery Alchemy, a 1:1 and group coaching chemsex recovery programme focused on men who have sex with men. I am also the creator of The AfterMeth Podcast, dedicated to supporting gay and bisexual men in recovery from crystal meth. With over 7 years in recovery, I offer a unique blend of lived experience, compassionate guidance, and practical strategies for transformation.

Since 2023, I have also been part of the Controlling Chemsex team, a role that I feel deeply grateful for and proud of. Being involved in this work has been incredibly meaningful, allowing me to contribute to a wider community and support more people navigating the complexities of chemsex.

Beyond just “quitting,” I advocate for a holistic approach to recovery that embraces your authentic self and highest potential. My work focuses on identity transformation rather than mere abstinence, helping men rebuild their lives and discover who they truly are beneath the addiction.

Drawing from both traditional recovery pathways and more unconventional healing approaches, I provide a judgement free space for men to explore their journey with courage and compassion. My approach combines honesty, humour, and deep understanding to create a recovery experience that resonates particularly with gay and bisexual men facing the unique challenges of chemsex use.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hi, I’m Matt. I’m Australian, living in London since 2019.

I started trying to get sober in 2011 and it finally stuck in 2016 - I have now been sober from all drugs and alcohol since 2016. Throughout those years in recovery from substances I have seen so many people relapse (and worse) because their drug use had become completely entwined with sex. A big part of their addiction wasn’t being addressed in drug-and-alcohol focused recovery programs, and some people never made it back. That’s why I’m passionate about the work that Controlling Chemsex does. 

After moving to London I started working with Controlling Chemsex as an ambassador to help raise awareness for the work they do, but felt like I wanted to do more to help. Since becoming a specialist chemsex keyworker, I have so far had the privilege of working with clients from the UK, USA, Spain, Latvia, Italy, Colombia, China and the Philippines.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Living in Spain and originally from Ecuador, I am an Instructional Designer and a trained Keyworker at Controlling Chemsex. I support anyone looking to reduce or stop their involvement in chemsex. Drawing from my own lived experience and my journey in sobriety, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their history, understand themselves, and develop practical strategies to regain control of their overall wellbeing.

Whether working in English or Spanish, I take a collaborative, motivational approach to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, reduce harm, and build recovery plans tailored to their personal goals. I support individuals navigating periods of vulnerability, helping them move from crisis management toward long-term stability, self-acceptance, and healthier forms of connection.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hi, my name is Gary and I have been a Volunteer Key Worker with Controlling Chemsex since January 2025. Inspired by my own lived experience and personal journey of sobriety, I developed a strong passion for supporting others in recovery and helping people rebuild their lives.

My commitment to making a real difference in people’s lives has grown over time and eventually led to a career change. I am now working as a Drug and Alcohol Recovery Coordinator, continuing to support individuals through some of the most challenging periods of their lives.

I bring empathy, understanding, and genuine compassion to the support I provide, using my own experiences to connect with people, offer hope, and encourage positive and lasting change.

• RECOVERY COACH AND CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

I am Bobby Robinson, a Recovery Coach and harm reduction professional based in Philadelphia, USA. With over 20 years of management experience and dual master's degrees, MBA and MPA, I bring both professional expertise and a deeply personal understanding to my work in chemsex recovery. My own recovery journey is the foundation of everything I do. It fuels my passion for meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment.

I specialize in one on one coaching and group facilitation through Recovery Alchemy, and I serve as the Operations Manager at Savage Sisters Recovery, a Philadelphia based harm reduction nonprofit. I am also an active leader in Crystal Meth Anonymous and a Certified Recovery Specialist. I am proud to be part of the Controlling Chemsex team, where I collaborate with others committed to supporting people navigating the complexities of chemsex with honesty, care, and compassion.

I truly believe that recovery is possible for everyone, and that the intersection of sexual health and substance use deserves an honest, compassionate conversation.

• CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

Hello, my name is Joel Aranibar, and I am from Lima, Peru. I have been an activist for the rights of people living with HIV since 2023, I am the founder of the organization Apoyo Consciente, and a member of the Controlling Chemsex team since 2025.

I joined this project because I was deeply concerned about the impact that chemsex is having on so many people in our communities. Over the years, I have seen how isolation, stigma, and lack of support can push individuals into very vulnerable situations, and I strongly believe that nobody should face these challenges alone.

Being part of Controlling Chemsex is both an honour and a responsibility. It moves me to know that our work can offer real hope, real tools, and real connection to people who are struggling. I am committed to listening without judgement, supporting with compassion, and helping each person find their own path toward safety, dignity, and wellbeing. Through this process, I began the social project "Chemsex Perú" in Lima, so we can also help people in my own country,
I am excited to contribute my experience, my energy, and my heart to this team. Together, we are building a space where people can reach out, be heard, and receive the support they deserve.

• WELLBEING COACH AND CHEMSEX SPECIALIST ADVISOR

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness, along with Master’s Degrees in Health and Wellness and Holistic Nutrition from the American College of Healthcare Sciences. I am also a NASM Certified Wellness Coach and Personal Trainer, an ACE Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and a Senior Mindset Coach with NOOM. I am currently completing a dual certification in Life and Recovery Coaching accredited by the NBHWC.

What brought me to chemsex support work is not only my professional background, but also my lived experience. As someone in recovery, I understand how chemsex, addiction, shame, loneliness, and the search for connection can deeply affect our lives, especially within the LGBTQ+ community.

I am also proud to be part of the Controlling Chemsex team, where I work alongside others who are committed to supporting people through the complexities of chemsex with empathy, openness, and care.

My approach is rooted in empathy, openness, harm reduction, and non judgemental support. I believe healing begins when people feel safe enough to be honest about their experiences and reconnect with themselves in a healthier, more meaningful way.

• PSYCHOSEXUAL AND RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST

My name is David  and I am a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist.

PRT (Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy) is a process of personal and relational exploration through both talking and the use of different exercises, that can help you understand yourself more fully and how to manage psychosexual and relationship challenges. Some of the areas covered by PRT are rapid/delayed ejaculation, anorgasmia, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, inhibited desire, general sexual dissatisfaction, sexual trauma or relationship/intimacy issues. I work with individuals and couples.

My background includes two BAs in Political Science and Sociology, MA in Social Work, Postgraduate Diplomas in Conflict Resolution and Processwork, Counselling Level 2 and 3, and a one-year Diploma with Authentic Eros (Berlin) where a group of 30 gay/bi/trans men explored sex, emotional intelligence and spirituality. I have also undertaken courses of tantra sex for gay men in Munich. In the last 15 years I have been working in the Social Services field in different roles supporting our most vulnerable citizens. 

I am very excited to work with Controlling Chemsex and support people to connect with their sexual selves in a way that works for them and to develop healthy fulfilling relationships.

• COUNSELLOR AND PSYCHOSEXUAL AND RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST

I'm John, Therapist and Supervisor. I have a long background in working with Gay/Bi and MSM through HIV Prevention projects that often involved working in sex clubs (saunas and pubs) to cruising grounds, as well as working online around Sexual Health.

This work led me into working in Sexual Health, a role I continue to do for the NHS in a Sexual Health Clinic where I deal with a variety of people and issues around sexual health.

Being a gay Counsellor and having worked on the front line of Sexual Health means I work with lots of Gay/Bi or MSM men who have issues around their sexuality or compulsive sex use. I have specialised in working with Sexual Offenders for some time, and am now broadening my sex work to look more closely as Compulsive Sex (this can include how we use dating apps, porn and the like) some people might feel they are 'addicted' to things like Sex or Porn, and find they are able to talk openly to me about such issues, so we can find way forward.

I am a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, and I particularly enjoy working with LGBT+ communities|, appreciating the diversity that sometimes brings. I work with people that are single, in open or Poly relationships and have varied sex lives. I welcome my clients to bring 'all of you' to the session, and offer acceptance and non-judgement.

In addition, I am able to work with couples - and am open to expanding this to people who are in, or would like to explore Polyamorous relationships.

I love the diversity in the LGBT Communities, it's a world I have been in since coming out at the age of 15 and am pleased to bring myself into the Counselling space, to offer you a safe, explorative space to explore what is going on for you.

I am a trainee Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, currently completing the London Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy and registered with COSRT. I also hold a Foundation Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills from LFCCP.

My work supporting the LGBTQ+ community has enabled me to develop a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the community, including chemsex and its wider emotional and relational impact. I provide a non-judgemental space to explore feelings of isolation and loneliness that can often accompany chemsex experiences, and how these may affect one’s sense of connection, intimacy, and self-worth.

My practice is culturally sensitive and inclusive of diverse relationships, genders, and sexual identities. Trained in applying a directive approach to psychosexual presentations, I have a strong foundational understanding of sexual difficulties and use evidence-based strategies to support clients in addressing these issues with empathy and guidance.
