As a trauma and psychosexual counsellor, I support adults to process traumatic experiences and their ongoing impacts, including sex-based concerns, burnout, mood difficulties, addictive or unhelpful coping behaviours.
My name is Samantha, I'm an experienced counsellor and accredited Mental Health Social Worker. My work focuses on supporting adults who are feeling exhausted, stuck or overwhelmed by carrying the impacts of relational trauma and how it has shaped your relationship with yourself, others and your sense of safety in the world. Many clients I work with have experienced trauma in some form and are often burnt out by the demands of life in survival mode. I help clients to feel more grounded and connected, better understand their experiences and reduce feelings of shame and self-blame so they can live with greater ease and choice.

You might be looking for a therapeutic space that feels open, collaborative, and non-judgemental, where you can explore and make sense of what’s happening for you. Some people I work with have been struggling for a long time, stuck in cycles of worry, rejection sensitivity, or self-doubt. Others are neurodivergent or exploring this later in life, often after years of masking and holding themselves to neurotypical expectations. Therapy here focuses on practical strategies while also building self-compassion, curiosity, and clarity about who you are and what you need.

Sex Therapy Therapists
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
