Welcome to LSI Therapy

A safe place to talk about the physical and emotional challenges of sex and relationships.

We’re surrounded by messages telling us what love, sex and intimacy should look like. It makes it harder to ask for help when things go wrong. And, from painful sex to affairs, they often do.

But you don’t have to navigate these complex, tender experiences alone. Talk to someone who will listen without judgement and provide the support you need to make things better.

Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy gently moves you towards deeper self-awareness, understanding and self-acceptance. From there, it’s easier to create the kind of authentic connections you really want.

My name is Olivia (she/her), a certified Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist. I offer inclusive, trauma-informed talking therapy to individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations.

Chances are you weren’t taught much about how to have a great relationships, or good sex. You probably had to work it out for yourself. Then, when things went wrong, you’ve probably blamed yourself, or your partner(s).

If you don’t have the sex or relationship you want, and don’t know what to do about it, that’s where I can help.

How Sex & Relationship therapy can help

  • Reduce the risk of misunderstandings and disconnection. Use this space to learn the invaluable art of sharing authentically and listening with empathy.

  • Explore the emotional and relational factors that could be making vaginal, vulval, anal, penile, or pelvic pain worse. (Always combined with GP support.)

  • Make sense of changes in desire and find ways to reconnect authentically and deeply, even when your sexual needs differ.

  • Menopause, pregnancy, aging, illness, or surgery can all affect your relationship with sex - but it doesn’t have to be at the expense of pleasure and connection.

  • Infidelity or betrayal can shake a relationship’s foundations. With care and clarity, trust can be rebuilt - or peace found in parting healthily.

  • If porn is affecting your sex life or relationships, together we can work out why and help you regain a sense of balance.

  • Letting go of love can be painful and confusing. Take time to think about what you need and grieve the loss, so you can move towards a healthy closure.

  • Don’t let arguments drive a wedge between you. Learn how to recover from ruptures more quickly and move towards mutual understanding instead.

  • If you don’t identify with the cis-het way of living and loving, let’s explore a more authentic, expansive expression of who you are.

  • Sexual trauma can leave deep imprints - but with time and the right support, you can define intimacy and safety on your own terms.

  • Erections are influenced by more than biology. Exploring the emotional and relational factors can ease performance anxiety and restore confidence.

  • Not everyone wants monogamy and sometimes kinky feels best. BDSM and ethical non-monogamy can be life changing. Find out how to do them well.

  • If you don’t orgasm but you want to, we can look at the many ways your body can experience total pleasure, with or without ‘The Big O’.

  • Sex is deeply personal. That can make us feel very vulnerable - but difficult emotions don’t have to define who you are or how you love.
