your path to more love, better sex and deeper intimacy
welcome to LSI Therapy
If you need a safe place to explore the physical and emotional challenges of sex and relationships, Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy could be what you’ve been looking for.
We’re surrounded by messages about what our intimate lives should look like. It can make it harder to ask for help when things go wrong. And, from painful sex to communication breakdowns, they often do.
But you don’t have to navigate these tender, complex experiences alone. You have other options. One of them is to talk to someone who will listen without judgement and offer the compassion and support you need to make things better.
Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy gently moves you towards deeper self-awareness, understanding and self-acceptance. From there, you can create the kind of authentic connections you really want. The kind that work for you and your partner(s).
My name is Olivia (she/her), a certified, COSRT-registered Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist. I offer inclusive, trauma-informed talking therapy to individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations.
We’re not taught much about creating and maintaining great relationships, or having good sex. Chances are you’ve had to work it out for yourself. Then, when things don’t work out, you’ve probably blamed yourself, or our partner(s).
If you’re not getting the intimacy or connection you want, but don’t know what to do about it, please get in touch.
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
-
YOUR FREE DISCOVERY CALL
Not sure whether therapy is for you? This a simple way to find out. No pressure, no obligation. Just 15 minutes on Zoom to talk, ask questions and see how it feels.
-
PSYCHOSEXUAL THERAPY
A talking therapy that offers you a safe, non-judgemental space to talk openly about sexual problems and their impact on you and your partner(s). You’ll also find out more about your body and what you need from sex and intimacy to feel happy and fulfilled.
-
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Gently, and with plenty of support, you can learn how to rebuild lost connection, navigate complex feelings, and find new ways of relating that are genuinely good for you. Come alone or with a partner. Sessions may include psychosexual therapy - the two frequently overlap.
SOME OF THE WAYS SEX & RELATIONSHIP THERAPY CAN HELP
-
IMPROVING COMMUNICATION
Reduce the risk of misunderstandings and disconnection. Use this space to learn the invaluable art of sharing and listening authentically and with empathy.
-
REDUCING PAIN DURING SEX
Explore the emotional and relational factors that could be making vaginal, vulval or pelvic pain worse - always with the support of your GP alongside.
-
REBALANCING MISMATCHED DESIRE
Make sense of changes in desire and find ways to reconnect authentically and deeply, even when your sexual needs differ.
-
SUPPORTING PHYSICAL CHANGES
Menopause, pregnancy, aging, illness, or surgery can all affect your relationship with sex - but that doesn’t have to be at the expense of pleasure and connection.
-
REBUILDING TRUST AFTER AN AFFAIR
Infidelity or betrayal can shake a relationship’s foundations. With care and clarity, trust can be rebuilt - or peace found in parting healthily.
-
REDUCING CONFLICT
Don’t let arguments drive a wedge between you. Learn how to recover from ruptures more quickly and move towards mutual understanding instead.
-
HEALING AFTER ABUSE OR TRAUMA
Sexual trauma can leave deep imprints - but with time and the right support, you can define intimacy on your own terms and feel safer in your skin.
-
NAVIGATING ERECTILE DIFFICULTIES
Erections are influenced by more than biology. Exploring the emotional and relational factors can ease performance anxiety and restore confidence.
-
FINDING JOY BEYOND THE BINARY
If the cis-het norm doesn’t fit the way you see yourself and want to be, we can explore a more authentic, expansive expression of who you are.
-
INCREASING ORGASMIC POTENTIAL
If you’re not having orgasms, you’re not broken. Discover the many ways that your body can experience pleasure, with or without the big O.
-
EXPLORING NEW WAYS OF RELATING
Not everyone wants monogamy. Discover other ways to connect, including kink, open relating and ethical non-monogamy - and how to do them well.
-
ADDRESSING DISRUPTIVE PORN USE
If porn is affecting your sex life or relationships, together we can work out why and help you regain a sense of balance.
-
ENDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
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.
-
REDUCING SHAME, GUILT OR ANXIETY
Sex is deeply personal, which can make us feel very vulnerable - but difficult emotions don’t have to define who you are or how you love.
-
INCREASING INTIMACY
Your relationship may be new or well-established. Either way, more closeness, connection and passion are still possible when you both want them.
