Sex and Relationship Therapy in London and Online.

Hi, I’m Zoe, a COSRT Certified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 18 years of professional experience. Welcome to The Sex Therapy Space – a safe and confidential place for individuals and couples to explore intimacy, relationships, and sexual wellbeing.

Sex & Relationship Therapy Tailored to You

I offer sex therapy and relationship therapy both face-to-face and online. Whether you’re looking for support as an individual or a couple, therapy can help you:

  • Improve intimacy and communication

  • Overcome sexual difficulties and barriers

  • Rebuild confidence in your relationships

  • Achieve a more satisfying and connected sex life

Why Choose The Sex Therapy Space?

At The Sex Therapy Space, we believe that sex, intimacy, and relationships are essential aspects of health. Just like physical or mental health needs, your sexual wellbeing deserves care and attention. I provide a supportive environment where you can work through challenges and develop healthier, happier connections.

Specialist Support for Cancer & Intimacy

I have a special interest in helping those affected by primary or secondary breast cancer. I offer low-cost sessions for individuals navigating issues such as:

  • Sex and intimacy after cancer

  • Self-confidence and body image

  • Dating and relationships during or after treatment

Together, we can work towards reclaiming pleasure, confidence, and connection in your life.

My Services

Professional Sex & Relationship Therapy for Individuals and Couples

Welcome. I’m a qualified sex and relationship therapist offering confidential, non-judgmental talking therapy to help individuals and couples improve intimacy, communication, and emotional connection. Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your sexual relationship, struggling with desire, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can help you find clarity and confidence.

Individual Sex Therapy

Personal therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences around sex, relationships, and self-esteem. Together, we can work on:

  • Painful sex & Vaginismus

  • Dyspareunia & Vulvodynia

  • Erectile dysfunction or ejaculation issues

  • Low or mismatched sexual desire

  • Performance anxiety or confidence issues

  • Difficulty reaching satisfaction or pleasure

  • Shame, guilt, or past sexual trauma

  • Understanding your sexual identity or orientation

  • Improving body image and self-acceptance

  • Compulsive Sexual Behaviour

Each session is tailored to your individual needs, at a pace that feels right for you.

Couples Sex and Relationship Therapy

Couples therapy focuses on communication, emotional intimacy, and sexual connection within your relationship. It offers a structured and supportive environment to explore challenges such as:

  • Mismatched libido, desire differences or sexless relationships

  • Loss of intimacy or emotional closeness

  • Recovering from infidelity or betrayal

  • Communication difficulties

  • Navigating life transitions (parenthood, menopause, illness, merging families, finances etc.)

  • Separation or Divorce

  • Infertility or child loss

  • Conflicts and frequent arguments

  • Strengthening your relationship

 

My approach to therapy is both humanistic and integrative, meaning I tailor our work to your unique needs and personality. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" solution; instead, I draw from various psychological theories, tools, and techniques to ensure our sessions are as effective and creative as possible. I'm passionate about helping you overcome barriers, enhance communication, and rediscover pleasure and connection. After all, healthy relationships and fulfilling sexual experiences are crucial for our overall well-being.

I often integrate person-centered therapy with psychodynamic theory, exploring how past experiences shape your current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Attachment theory helps us understand how early relationships influence your life today, and I always maintain a trauma-informed approach. For specific sexual dysfunctions, I might incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I sometimes use Gestalt Therapy to help you focus on present feelings.

Beyond my therapy practice, I'm also a Senior Mental Health Nurse with over 18 years of experience in both NHS and private sectors. This extensive background includes supporting individuals through complex mental health challenges, enduring mental illness, and crises, as well as working extensively with Autism and ADHD.

Low Cost Cancer Therapy

@thecancersextherapist

Following my own cancer diagnosis and experience, I understand the unique challenges that can arise around sex, intimacy, and relationships during and after treatment. That’s why I now offer low-cost sessions for anyone who has been diagnosed with primary or secondary breast cancer — whether you’re currently in treatment, in remission, or navigating survivorship. These sessions are available for both individual therapy and couples therapy with partners.

Rebuilding Intimacy & Connection After Cancer

A cancer diagnosis does not have to mean the end of a fulfilling sex life or deep emotional connection. Therapy can help with:

  • Adapting to physical changes after treatment

  • Managing the effects of cancer therapies on intimacy and desire

  • Rediscovering pleasure and self-confidence

  • Rebuilding closeness with your partner after focusing on survival

I provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential space to explore what’s possible for you, supporting your journey toward healing, confidence, and reconnection.
