Relationships can be tricky to navigate, whether you’ve been together for years or are still finding your way in a new partnership, especially when intimacy comes into play.
You might find yourself thinking:
“Some days they really understand me. Other days, I feel like I have to keep explaining how I like to be touched.”
“Our sex life has gone out of the window.”
“My partner wants to explore with other people, but I’m not sure how I feel about it.”
“Sex finishes when my partner is satisfied, and I’m left to take care of myself afterwards.”
These conversations aren’t always easy.
One person can become defensive, withdraw, or simply not know how to express what they need.
A couples somatic session gives you both space to slow things down and notice what is happening not only between you, but within your own bodies.
Using communication, grounding, breath, boundaries and body-awareness practices, we can explore intimacy, desire, touch and how you communicate what you want and need.
Sessions are co-created around both of you, with the aim of helping you feel more heard, understood and present with one another.
This is not couples therapy. It is a practical, body-based experience for exploring communication, intimacy and connection.
Somatic simply means noticing what is happening within your body, not only talking or thinking about it.
Somatic Sexology gives you time to slow down and become curious about your body, pleasure, intimacy and boundaries. We may use breath, grounding, movement, sound, body awareness or guided touch.
You don’t need any experience or a particular problem. You may simply want to feel more comfortable in your body, understand what brings you pleasure, communicate more clearly or deepen your connection with yourself or a partner.
What happens in a session?
We begin with a relaxed conversation about what you would like to explore, what you don’t want and what will help you feel comfortable.
Together, we agree on the modality before beginning. Once the session starts, we stay with that modality rather than changing to a different practice.
Touch is never assumed. When bodywork is agreed upon, touch is one-way, from me to you, and I remain clothed.
You remain in control throughout and can ask me to slow down, adjust, pause or stop at any time.
The modality stays the same, but your consent remains with you throughout.
When feelings arise
Body-based work can sometimes bring unexpected feelings, memories or physical responses into awareness. If this happens, we slow down and listen to what your body needs. Nothing is forced or pushed through.
I am a Somatic Sexologist and Sexological Bodyworker, not a psychologist, counsellor or trauma therapist. I do not diagnose or treat trauma or mental-health conditions.
