My new group I’m running from 27th January — a 6-week (bi-weekly) educational space focusing on s*x and relationships from a neurodivergent perspective.

It’s designed for ND women who often find themselves stuck in
“What’s wrong with me?” narratives around intimacy, helping them move towards clarity and self-understanding.

The group is facilitated by me — an AuDHD s*x and relationship therapist specialising in intimacy and neurodivergence.

Group size will be less than 10.

Cost: £45 per week or £270 before the group starts.

If this sounds relevant for any clients you support, feel free to pass it on. 💛

Every body has a pattern, ways it reacts to touch, tone, light, routine, and context.

Most of us were never taught to notice them, let alone honour them.

That’s why many people feel disconnected from intimacy:
they’re trying to meet an expectation instead of meeting their own body.

In therapy, and through my free resources, we explore two key areas:

🌿 Your sensory profile - what helps your body feel safe, grounded, and present.
💭 Your personal script – the beliefs and messages you’ve learned about closeness and worth.

When you understand both, you can approach intimacy with curiosity instead of pressure, and connection starts to feel like something your body chooses, not forces.

Looking for couples therapy?

I specialise in reconnecting disconnected couples.

We’ll work together to break patterns that are keeping you stuck, build empathy and move back into feeling connected and in love.

As someone who's neurodivergent, I understand and welcome neurodivergent couples - no need to 'translate' yourself here.

Relationships take work. But you don't have to do it alone 🖤

Many couples think low desire means something is wrong.

But often, it’s your body protecting you when connection feels tense, rushed, or unsafe.

Emotional safety is the soil where desire can return, and therapy helps you nurture it.

Sometimes the body sends mixed signals, warmth one moment, hesitation the next.

It’s not confusion. It’s the body weighing safety.

Desire isn’t just about attraction; it’s about whether your system feels calm, attuned, and ready to open.
If stress, sensory overload, or past experiences are present, that readiness can fade, even when the care and affection are real.

Understanding these shifts helps couples move from frustration to empathy.
You don’t have to push harder, you can slow down and listen instead.

🕊️ In therapy, we explore how safety, context, and curiosity shape connection.

Communication can be REALLY tough ! This video gives a quick insight into why it's so hard and what you can do to improve communication with your partner (or anyone in your life!)

Assertive communication is rare so we usually have to learn from scratch - be kind to yourself

Sometimes we want connection, but our body doesn’t seem to get the message.

That mismatch between wanting closeness and not physically responding can be confusing, but it’s actually really common.

Often, it’s not about lack of interest; it’s about pace and context. Our bodies need time and safety to catch up with our thoughts. If we rush, our system can’t always shift gears quickly enough.

Start by getting curious:

💭 What helps me feel calm and comfortable?

💭 What do I need before my body feels ready to respond?

And remember, it’s okay to ask for what you need, from a partner or from yourself.

✨ If you’d like to explore how your body and mind connect (or sometimes don’t), send me a DM or book a free discovery call through my website.

Relationships go through seasons.

When you’ve been distant or overwhelmed, closeness can feel unfamiliar, even if you love each other deeply.

Therapy helps you rebuild trust and safety one step at a time, until warmth feels possible again.
