Intimacy Therapy & Coaching

what to expect

Inclusive, non-judgemental therapy around any and all sex-related topics
Specific support for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent needs around intimacy

Difficulties with sexual health and wellbeing are incredibly common – but shame and stigma often keep us from getting support. Talking about intimacy, fertility, pleasure, desire, libido, preferences, and attraction won’t be awkward with me. I offer sex-positive, trauma-informed therapy tailored holistically to your unique identity and needs.

  • I offer sex-positive, non-judgemental therapy to support you to explore and express your sexuality in safe ways that fit your values and identity.
  • People with ADHD and autism sometimes have a different relationship with sex, like sensory sensitivities, different arousal patterns and communication styles, and a need for clearer rules. This is often either misunderstood or not talked about at all, which perpetuates shame, stigma, and problems.
  • We’ll explore your sensory, social, and emotional needs both within and outside the bedroom to create a map of what feels good, where your boundaries are, and how you can express your preferences and needs.
  • Practical, skills-focused communication work can help to reduce misunderstandings, enhance safety, consent, and fun, and foster sexual experiences that honour you and your partner’s sensory preferences and emotional needs.
  • We’ll take executive functioning into account when looking at pacing, routine, rules, scripts, and novelty.
  • Eating disorders, negative body image, and body dysmorphia & dysphoria commonly affect sexual desire, comfort with touch, self-image, and the ability to enjoy sex. These difficulties are understandable responses to shame, avoidance, and body-related distress.
  • I offer specific therapy support around body image and self-confidence for all.
  • We’ll work together to explore how body image affects your sexual experiences, what function avoidance or protection is serving you, and use graded, compassionate exposure and body-focused interventions to slowly rebuild your comfort with touch and intimacy at your pace, in line with your goals.
  • Social expectations, cultural messages, and gendered pressures shape how men, women, nonbinary people, and trans folks experience, talk about, and seek help around sex. I work with all people to explore how gender, culture and life experience shape your sexual life.
  • I take a sex-positive stance which includes being kink-positive. I don’t pathologise consensual, alternative sexual expressions and hold genuine, honest, non-judgemental space to discuss consent, communication, and boundaries.
  • I’m also open to honest conversations about sex and substance use. This includes harm-reduction planning, strategies for safer use, consent when intoxicated, and support to change patterns if you want to.
  • I’m happy to advocate and liaise with your GP and sexual health services to support you.

How long does therapy take?

I don’t require a commitment to any number of sessions. I encourage clients to work towards a meaningful piece of therapeutic change at a pace that feels right.

How often and when are sessions?

I work flexibly and can step sessions up or down in frequency or length depending on your needs, often progressing from weekly sessions to fortnightly, monthly, then ad-hoc.

Do you offer shorter sessions?

I offer regular clients 30-minute “booster” sessions (at half the cost) if you need extra support around triggers such as holidays, anniversaries, or exams.
