Mental Health Occupational Therapists are allied health practitioners who understand how emotional wellbeing, trauma, stress, pain, sensory processing, and life experiences can affect your day-to-day functioning.

When it comes to sexual health, that means working with you to navigate the physical, emotional, and relational impacts of chronic illness, pelvic pain, trauma, or complex health conditions.

We’re problem-solvers.

With my dual qualifications, I am able to look at what’s getting in the way and then work with you to find creative, practical, body-based strategies that help you feel safer, more connected, and more like yourself.

What does that look like in practice?

— Managing sexual changes after a diagnosis: We might work through how to manage your fatigue, pain, body image, changes in desire or arousal, and how to communicate all of that with a partner/s.

— Pelvic pain: Together we might explore what's driving the pain response, learn pain science, build your body awareness, reduce fear and avoidance, and find ways back to comfortable, connected intimacy.

— Dissociation and sexual health: For people who feel disconnected from their body during intimacy, (whether from trauma, chronic illness, or pain) somatic approaches can help rebuild that felt sense of safety and presence in your own body.

— Chronic illness: We might work on strategies to navigate your symptoms, understand your desire pathways, what triggers your pain flares, and the emotional weight of a diagnosis; finding ways to reconnect with yourself and your partner/s on your terms.

A Sexologist is someone who has studied the science of sex; the anatomy, physiology, psychology, and cultural influences that shape how we experience arousal, desire, and pleasure.

Somatics refers to the body and our felt sense of it. Somatic practices work with the nervous system and physical sensations to deepen body awareness and strengthen the connection between what we feel physically and what we experience emotionally.

Somatic Sexology brings these two things together. Rather than only talking about sexual health, we work with what the body is actually holding, tension, fear, numbness and disconnection and gently move through it.

For many of my clients, illness, pain, trauma, or a difficult diagnosis has changed the way they experience their body. Sex and intimacy can start to feel unsafe, unfamiliar, or simply out of reach. Somatic Sexology is about changing that — rebuilding body awareness, restoring a sense of safety, and finding your way back to pleasure on your own terms.

Applications of Somatic Sexology include:

• Rebuilding the connection between body and mind: Through guided body-based work we can use the brain's own capacity for change to build new pathways, restoring sensation, awareness, and safety from the inside out.

• Boundary and desire clarification: Learning to recognise, trust, and communicate what your body wants — and what it doesn't — so intimacy feels safe, clear, and authentically yours.

• Addressing sexual challenges: Whether it's low desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, or discomfort during intimacy, we work with the body directly to understand what's getting in the way and gently shift it.
