Somatic Sex Therapy

Teesside, London and Online
I offer somatic sex therapy for individuals and couples in Teesside, London and
online. This work supports sexual wellbeing, intimacy and nervous system
regulation, particularly where pleasure, arousal or connection feel blocked or difficult.

I began offering tantric massage professionally in 2018. Through this work, I noticed
that many people seeking pleasure and connection were also carrying deeper
challenges such as shame, numbness, anxiety, trauma or sexual difficulties. To
support these experiences safely and responsibly, I undertook further training in
counselling, somatic trauma therapy and TRE®.

This combination allows me to work with blocks to pleasure and intimacy in an
ethical and trauma-aware way, integrating body-based and therapeutic approaches. I have worked with hundreds of clients across a wide range of issues and
accumulated thousands of hours of practice.

Somatic sex therapy recognises that sexuality is shaped by lived experience,
conditioning and the body’s sense of safety. When the nervous system is
dysregulated, it can be difficult to relax, feel desire or experience pleasure fully. This
approach offers a gentle, body-based pathway to explore and integrate these
patterns.

Somatic Sex Therapy May Support
• Blocks to pleasure or arousal
• Sexual dysfunction or pain
• Sexual shame or body image concerns
• Trauma or difficult past experiences
• Relationship or intimacy challenges

Sessions may include grounding and embodiment practices, boundaries and
consent work, breath, somatic dialogue and therapeutic touch, where appropriate
and by clear consent. Sessions can be clothes-on or clothes-off, depending on
what feels supportive and appropriate.

I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds and sexual orientations.
With individuals, the work may explore issues such as performance anxiety, low
desire or difficulty feeling sensation. With couples, it may support mismatched
desire, communication difficulties or long-standing relational patterns that show up in the sexual dynamic.

For those who are not yet ready for hands-on work, or who would like additional
support alongside touch-based sessions, I also offer talking therapy and TRE®

(Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises). These approaches can help build
safety, regulation and understanding, and may be used on their own or to
complement somatic sex therapy. They offer practical tools for integration and
nervous system support, and can be especially helpful when working gently with
trauma or overwhelm.

All work is paced carefully, with a strong emphasis on safety, choice and working
within what feels manageable.
