Intimacy coaching
For closeness in every sense - emotional, physical and sexual - and the honest conversations that make it possible.
What it is
Intimacy coaching covers desire, boundaries, communication and connection, including the subjects most people find hardest to raise even with someone they love. It is judgement-free, body-positive and entirely practical. Sessions are available for individuals as well as couples - you do not need your partner’s involvement, or even their knowledge, to start.
Sessions are talking-based and fully clothed. There is no physical or sexual contact of any kind, and everything discussed is confidential.
How to recognise it
- You share a home, a life or a bed with someone and still feel oddly alone.
- Conversations about sex, desire or what you actually enjoy are avoided, deflected or turned into a joke.
- Physical affection has quietly dwindled and neither of you knows how to bring it back up.
- You are unsure what you want, or you know and cannot find a way to say it.
- Shame, embarrassment or fear of a partner’s reaction shapes what you allow yourself to ask for.
How the work goes
The work combines somatic awareness - noticing what tension, shutdown and avoidance are telling you - with desire fluency and practical communication. Nothing physical takes place in sessions; the work is conversation, awareness and rehearsal for the conversations that happen outside the room.
Sessions are 90 minutes, one to one, from a discreet private practice in Thame - or at your home, across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the wider Home Counties.
What changes
Individuals and couples who arrive unable to say the first sentence routinely leave able to talk openly about what they want and need, with a level of closeness many had assumed was behind them.
