I'm Marina, a psychologist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology at the Jungian Studies Centre in São Paulo and a PhD Course in Human Sexuality in Portugal.
I specialize in sexual problems, sexual pleasure and sexual diversity (LGBT+). How can our sexuality be fully lived nowadays, with non-judgmental thoughts? And mostly, with pleasure and connection? Sometimes we might feel disconnected to ourselves, feeling trapped in invisible prisons and I can help you to find ways back to yourself.

People often come to psychosexual therapy feeling confused, frustrated or quietly worried about their sex life, whether that is loss of desire, anxiety around intimacy, painful or unfulfilling sex, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their partner.
I offer a calm, respectful, non-judgemental space where we can gently explore what is going on for you at your own pace. As our sex lives do not exist in a void, psychosexual therapy explores the mind and the body alongside a behavioural approach.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by physical or mental health problems or weight? Does your body or mind feel out of your control? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with a new condition or can't get your head round an existing one? Are any of these issues impacting on your emotions or relationships with others? I can help. I value supporting people with finding their own path, standing out from the crowd, building connection and relationships. I am not a fixer and I don't have all the answers, although I know that I am OK to sit with people in chaos. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own way, on their own terms.

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.
