Somatic Sexology & Sexological Bodywork

Somatic Sexology is a body-based therapeutic approach that supports people to explore sexuality, intimacy, embodiment, trauma, boundaries, pleasure, and self-trust in a safe, consent-led, and trauma-informed way.

My work supports people who feel disconnected from their bodies, desires, sexuality, or sense of self, especially where shame, trauma, conditioning, identity, or relational experiences have impacted their ability to feel safe, present, or authentic.

This work is not about performance or “fixing” yourself. It’s about building a safer, more connected relationship with your body, boundaries, desires, and emotional world.

This work may support you if:

  • Intimacy, sexuality, or pleasure feels difficult, overwhelming, numb, or disconnected

  • You experience shame around desire, fantasy, kink, or sexuality

  • You struggle to trust your boundaries, needs, or body signals

  • You freeze, fawn, dissociate, or leave yourself during intimacy

  • You’re exploring gender, sexuality, erotic identity, or relationship diversity

  • You’re navigating grief, shame, or identity shifts connected to authenticity and becoming more yourself

  • You want to reconnect with your body, pleasure, confidence, or sense of aliveness

  • You want support exploring sexuality in a grounded, non-pathologising, consent-led way

Depending on your needs and boundaries, sessions may include:

  • talk-based therapeutic exploration

  • somatic awareness and nervous system tracking

  • boundary and consent practices

  • body awareness and embodiment work

  • self-touch practices and genital mapping

  • support around shame, pleasure, intimacy, and desire

  • scar tissue remediation

  • Wheel of Consent-informed practices

  • creative reflection and integration exercises

All body-based work is collaborative, optional, and guided at a pace that feels safe and consensual.

How we would work together

Sessions begin with building trust, communication, safety, and therapeutic understanding through talking and somatic awareness practices.

Body-based work is never rushed and is only explored where appropriate, consensual, and therapeutically supportive.

Many clients work entirely online, and many sessions remain fully talk-based. Where bodywork is included, we move slowly and collaboratively, with ongoing consent, communication, and clear professional boundaries.

This work is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in embodied consent rather than performance or pressure.

This work can be tender, vulnerable, challenging and liberating. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning.
If you’re looking for a grounded, queer-affirming, trauma-informed space to explore sexuality, embodiment, shame, intimacy, identity, or erotic selfhood with honesty and care, you’re welcome here.
