When sex or connection feels hard — but you still care deeply about your relationship

Many of the couples I work with are in long-term relationships where there is care and commitment, yet closeness has become difficult, pressured, or absent. Often, what shows up around sex is part of a wider relational pattern — including how you each experience connection, safety, and emotional closeness.

Together, we explore the nervous system, relational dynamics, and the patterns beneath the surface that may be shaping your experience of intimacy — including the impact of trauma, life transitions, or differences in how you each relate and connect.

My work is not about fixing or forcing, but about helping you build a relationship where connection feels safer, more attuned, and more authentic.

My Approach

I offer relationship and intimacy-focused therapy for individuals and couples, with particular experience supporting neurodivergent couples. My work is grounded in Relational Life Therapy — a direct, relational approach that focuses on patterns, accountability, and meaningful change.Alongside this, I draw on a range of tools and approaches to tailor the work to your unique needs.

This work is best suited to those who are able to reflect on their experiences, engage in the process, and are motivated to make meaningful changes within themselves and their relationships.

What is therapy like?

Sex and relationship therapy is talking therapy with structure and direction. We focus on understanding what’s happening between you, why it keeps repeating, and what actually helps your nervous system feel safer in connection. My approach goes deeper than quick fixes, supporting you to create lasting change in your relationship. This work can feel challenging at times, but it often leads to deeper connection and lasting outcomes.

I work best with clients who feel reasonably able to commit to regular attendance and consistency within our agreed sessions. I believe this helps create a containing therapeutic space and supports deeper, more meaningful work together.

If life feels particularly busy or unpredictable at the moment, or regular attendance feels difficult to maintain, I may not be the right fit for you at this time.

Will We Be a Good Fit?

I encourage you to take your time when searching for a therapist. Finding the right fit is an important part of therapy and often has a significant impact on how safe, supported, and understood you feel within the work.

After our initial consultation, I will invite you to take some time to reflect on how it felt talking with me, and I will do the same. The right fit often feels steady, calm, and containing — particularly within the body — rather than urgent or pressured.

I pay close attention to this too. If I feel I may not be the right therapist for you, it does not mean that you have done anything wrong. It simply means I may not be the best person to support you with what you are looking for at this time.

How long does sex therapy take?

Following an initial assessment, I ask clients to commit to an initial 12-session block. This allows space for us to build consistency and engage meaningfully in the therapeutic process. Towards the end of the 12 sessions, we will review our work together and decide whether to continue or begin planning an ending.
