Somatic Sex Therapy,  Sexological Bodywork and Intimacy Coaching for Individuals and  Couples

In matters of sexuality and intimacy, sometimes we need communication and understanding, and sometimes we just need acceptance and touch. But most of all, we need connection and warmth.

I offer the chance to explore and improve intimacy, sensual and erotic pleasure, confidence and sexual expression for individuals and couples, working with you through talking, exploration, education and consensual touch, in a way which is warm, open, collaborative, agreed and – most importantly – safe.

We live in a society suffering an epidemic of sexual unhappiness and dissatisfaction.  Why? Because we think of sexuality as something we do, rather than as a vital part of who we are. I believe that the cure for our unhappiness isn’t a technical fix, it’s relational: healing the splits and conflicts within ourselves so we become joyful, feeling, embodied and whole, and dealing with the obstructions which inhibit us from being happily intimate with others. And that can’t be done just through talking; our bodies need to be released back into their natural state of pleasure and receptivity from an often habitual state of disconnection or chronic tension.

Finding our way to the pleasure and connection of intimacy is complicated for many of us. I want to help you resolve your sexual and relationship issues so you can live a more joyful, connected life.

I am a seasoned somatic sex therapist and sexologist, [a member of The Association Of Somatic and Integrative Sexologists] based in the West End of Glasgow, very close to excellent rail and road connections to Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland, and conveniently located for Glasgow International Airport .

I have written extensively about sexuality, intimacy and relating, and you can find my articles here

I can work with you individually or as a couple, and I can work with you:

• online
• by telephone
• in person

or a combination of these, for example, in an intensive weekends interspersed with Zoom sessions combination, which might be useful if you’re outwith Scotland.

I know that embarking on sex therapy can be challenging, so I offer a free and completely confidential 30 minute Exploratory Conversation, either in person in Glasgow or by phone or  Zoom so you can find out more and decide if you want to take the next step forward.
