Sex and Relationship Therapy in London and Online.
Hi, I’m Zoe and I am a COSRT Certified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and I am also a Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 18 years experience. Welcome to my Therapy Practice! I offer sex and relationship therapy for individuals and couples both face to face and online.
At The Sex Therapy Space, we wholeheartedly believe that Sex, Intimacy and Relationships are a basic human need and are just as important as any other health need and should be given the same priority! We know how overwhelming these issues can be, so we offer a safe and confidential space to explore and work together to achieve easier communication, better sex and more intimacy!
Therapy can be instrumental in helping you dismantle the barriers that are preventing you from experiencing a truly pleasurable and satisfying sex life and fostering meaningful connected relationships. By addressing underlying concerns and with guidance and tailored approaches you to achieve the sexual and relational fulfilment you've been seeking.
I have a special interest in Cancer and offer low cost sessions for those who have been affected by primary or secondary breast cancer and need some help and support with Sex, Self Confidence, Intimacy, Dating and Relationships.

Free Consultation
I offer a free 20 minute discovery call to see if therapy is for you and to explore if we are a good fit to work together. There is no obligation, just a chance for you to see how it feels.
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.

Therapy Fees
At the Sex Therapy Space, I believe therapy should be assessible and you should know exactly what to expect with fees.
Sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually on the same day and time either weekly or fortnightly dependant on need.
I typically recommend starting with six sessions to establish a strong foundation and allowing a trusting therapeutic relationship to develop. After this initial period we will review progress and decide together on whether to continue weekly or move to fortnightly dependant on your needs.
Low Cost Cancer Therapy
@thecancersextherapist
Following my own cancer diagnosis and experience, I am now offering low cost sessions for those who have ever been diagnosed with primary or secondary breast cancer, for individuals and couples therapy with their partners. This includes those now in remission.
I want therapy to be accessible. Cancer does not have to mean the end of a fulfilling sex life, or deep connection. Whether it’s adapting to physical changes, managing the effects of treatment, rediscovering pleasure or rebuilding intimacy after a long period of focusing on survival, I provide a safe and compassionate space to explore what’s possible.
