WHAT HAPPENS IN A COUPLES THERAPY SESSION?​
Common questions below:
​
We establish the intention and challenges/desired outcome from you both.
​
We find out: what is working, what isn't, what is getting in the way of connection and enjoyment of intimacy. We will spend time helping you articulate what relationship you are truly seeking, and your intimacy needs. I provide opportunities to have a thorough conversation to discuss your needs and issues and we focus on building connection and doing powerful practices to relate more consciously. You will be given homework and important somatic practices to help stay regulated and to improve your results.
​
Cultural, family and religious backgrounds can have a very big impact on how individuals lean into intimacy. These beliefs can effect confidence, and personal sexual expression. Sex education is an important part of some couples counselling.
​
We cover things like:
-
Resolving challenging patterns of relating
-
​Establishing better listening skills
-
Healing and resolving trust issues
-
What to do when one partner has a lower libido

​
CAN YOU SEE US ONLINE?
Yes, online sessions are highly effective. You will still be engaging in practical exercises and given homework.
​
HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?
75 minutes in person for initials sessions, ongoing 60 minutes and 6o mins over zoom. (Generous overtime if necessary)
​
DO YOU SEE SAME SEX COUPLES?
Yes.
​
WE ARE POLYAMOROUS OR INTERESTED IN OPENING UP OUR RELATIONSHIP- CAN YOU HELP?
Yes. Counselling and coaching can help establish your why and keep connection in your dynamic and explore your boundaries.
​
WE ARE MARRIED- CAN WE GET HELP WITH COMMUNICATION?
I work with couples with communication issues, & trust issues. I understand the challenges of marriage, stress & children.
​
CAN YOU HELP BRING THE SPARK & DESIRE BACK? I'VE LOST MY LIBIDO!
Yes. Desire can be rekindled and it begins with you taking a step and getting support, education and mentoring.
WILL I LEARN NEW SKILLS?
Yes! Life changing, empowering, juicy skills that you've always needed.
​
WILL IT BE JUST TALKING & COUNSELLING?
No, however we will be discussing a broad range of things to uncover what is creating the difficulties and creating solutions. Relationship counselling and Couples Sex Therapy with Embodied Sexology, addresses the needs of both individuals, it works to establish what is working and how to expand on that with practical tools and somatic practices that may include connection exercises, touch practices, practicing connection and listening skills, learning about your partner and using sexology, sex education and tantra.
​​
WE HAVE A DATE NIGHT- & WANT TO LEARN NEW SKILLS?
Yes, I have seen many couples who are not experiencing challenges, but want to grow their relationship and sex lives. There is SO MUCH to learn and often better ways to do what your are already enjoying. I can coach you through a wide range of sensual, connected sexy and playful new concepts .
​
WILL WE BE TAKING OUR CLOTHES OFF?
MOST LIKELY NO. Most sessions consist of counselling, coaching and guided polarity and touch practices.
​
Some couples want sessions to learn skills so that sex and touch are better received and enjoyed and want to learn how to support their partners needs, in these sessions clothing is optional when I guide partners in Somatic bodywork (As your Therapist I always stay clothed and touch is one way).
WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN COACHING?
​
Couples that engage in quality time, understand each others needs and dreams, learn how to communicate more consciously, that are sexually intimate and make connection a priority, are more likely to stay together, live longer and be more successful in life.
​
Sex & Relationship Therapy is life changing for couples and for you as an individual.
​
CAN I GET PERSONAL COACHING FROM YOU AT THE SAME TIME?
YES. Many couples, choose to be individually coached to support their sensual and sexual growth, work through trauma, and other intimacy challenges.
​
​
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL WE NEED?
I recommend a minimum of 3 sessions for all couples. This is the best value so that your work and time has lasting effect.
And for some couples, they may need and want further mentoring and to keep learning.
​
Some individuals require and benefit greatly from individual sessions.
