Psychosexual Therapy

Sexual difficulties can affect anyone at any stage of life and can have a significant impact on confidence, relationships, and wellbeing. My aim is to support you in experiencing sexuality as a natural, meaningful, and integrated part of who you are — focusing on connection, pleasure, and wellbeing rather than pressure, performance, or cultural expectations. Where appropriate, we may also consider whether medical advice or GP support would be helpful as part of your therapy.

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore your experiences, beliefs, and feelings about sex and intimacy. As therapy develops, we may gently explore the patterns, relational dynamics, and unconscious ‘scripts’ that shape how you relate to yourself.

I work with individuals and couples, supporting a wide range of sexual and relational concerns, including:

  • Difficulties with desire or arousal
  • Painful sex (including vaginismus or vulval pain)
  • Erection, ejaculation, or orgasm difficulties
  • Differences in libido within relationships
  • Anxiety, avoidance, or fear related to sex
  • Sexual shame or identity concerns
  • Compulsive sexual behaviours
  • The impact of trauma or abuse
  • Changes in sexuality linked to menopause, ageing, or illness
  • Gender and sexual diversity
  • Concerns about sexual pleasure, health, and wellbeing

How we might explore

Our work is collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on meaningful change and may include:

  • Reflective and awareness-based practices
  • Identifying and shifting unhelpful beliefs or patterns
  • Psychosexual education and understanding
  • Communication and relational work
  • Developing new emotional and relational skills
  • Mindfulness-based or embodied techniques

Relationship Therapy

Relationships can be deeply fulfilling, yet they can also become one of the most challenging parts of our lives. Couples often seek therapy during times of transition, disconnection, or quiet loneliness — even within loving relationships.

You may be finding it difficult to communicate, feeling emotionally or physically distant, or carrying unresolved hurt following experiences. Some couples feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, while others want support to strengthen their connection.

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore these difficulties. I work with individuals and couples, supporting deeper understanding, improved communication, and the rebuilding of trust and connection.

I work with a range of relational concerns, including:

  • Desire discrepancy or mismatched libido
  • Infidelity or affairs
  • Communication difficulties
  • Sexual issues within relationships
  • Exploring non-monogamy
  • Fertility challenges
  • Intimate partner violence (where appropriate and safe)

  • Reflecting on patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour
  • Understanding the impact of past experiences
  • Developing coping strategies and emotional resilience
  • Building self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth
  • Strengthening your sense of identity, direction, and wellbeing

Testimonials

“I have been working with Lisa for almost 4 years, every session brings up something new to think about and discover. Started with Lisa to explore one aspect of myself/my relationship but we delved so much deeper and wider than what I thought the initial ‘problems’ were. From our first session, I felt heard and understood. Lisa’s approach is both professional and compassionate, making it easier for me to open up about my concerns. Lisa is supportive and challenges me (in a good way). I am enjoying learning about myself in a safe environment, Lisa’s insightful guidance and practical advice has helped me navigate through some challenging times. I appreciate the flexibility of online sessions, which allows me to fit therapy into my work schedule"
“I highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking support and personal growth. Her expertise and genuine care have been invaluable to me”
“It's been a tough, emotional but very rewarding five years that Lisa and I have worked together. Five years that is coming to an end thanks to her warmth, understanding, insight and tenacity to help me through my troubles”.
“Couples therapy with Lisa couldn’t have been better. Through this 3-way therapeutic relationship we began a process of understanding fundamental elements of our early learned behavioural patterns. This is a challenging process which Lisa held space for sensitively and without judgement. We were able to hold parts of ourselves open to each other in a way which we had not previously done. The learning which followed brought fresh understanding and compassion to our everyday relationship, which has changed how we relate to each other and will impact us forever”.
"Thank you for showing me how to suffer my edges, firm up my shell and open my heart. You demonstrated this to me by going within yourself. Referring where feelings lying in the body”
"There is no doubt that this year has been tough, but I can't say enough how much of a help, support and a true, honest voice you've been. You have allowed me to see what opportunities and adventures life has to offer. You have taught me a lot and I feel as though I have come a long way in the weeks we have worked together."
"I cannot praise Lisa enough, her style, manner and exercises have helped to transform my life and I am so grateful to her for awakening what was inside me. I am so much happier now in life and I hope she is able to inspire the same in others."
"Lisa has helped me to develop far more than I could have expected. Being very apprehensive before visiting for the first time I didn't know what to expect, or what was expected or how to react. Lisa helped to relax and reassure me of my worries. I cannot thank Lisa enough her softly spoken and kind words which encouraged me to explore myself in many ways, studying the relationships surrounding me and start to understand myself, expectations and how I can help ultimately me."
