About Me

My name is Chris Jones and I’m the facilitator and originator of the “From Hurt to Healing” group program. I’m a therapist and coach based in the UK and specializing in the treatment of “Deceptive sexuality” (often diagnosed as sex addiction or compulsive sexual behaviour disorder), and the traumatic impacts on the intimate partner.

I work with the DST model (deceptive sexual trauma) which was developed by Dr. Omar Minwalla at the Institute for sexual health (https://minwallamodel.com/). The DST model provides the framework to identify and treat both the problematic sexual behaviours and the corresponding deceptive and/or abusive behaviours that continue to impact both the intimate partner and the relationship as a whole. It also provides a unique framework to identify, name, and work through the devastating traumatic impacts on the partner following the discovery of a secret sexual reality within the intimate relationship.

I’ve completed all 4 levels of DST training and have therefore achieved the professional designation of “DSTT” (deceptive sexuality trauma therapist).
