Anorgasmia refers to the ongoing challenge of reaching orgasm despite sufficient arousal and stimulation. I work with you by exploring your sexual response cycle—from arousal and plateau to that transformative moment when feeling safe allows you to surrender to pleasure. I often remind my clients that an orgasm is like a glimpse into divinity—a moment of connection with your truest self.

Together, we gently explore where you might be feeling stuck—whether that’s physical tension, emotional blocks like shame or guilt, or a combination of both. For physical support, I may suggest a referral to a pelvic floor physiotherapist who can assess for issues like muscle tightness or trigger points. A GP can also be consulted for a medical review, including hormone levels or other underlying factors. In this collaborative process, we work on enhancing body awareness and embracing the potential for pleasure in every moment.

Pain during intimacy can create a cycle of fear, tension, and discomfort. Whether it’s due to vaginal dryness, muscle tension, infections, or conditions like endometriosis, painful intercourse often has multiple layers—physical, emotional, and relational.

I guide you through understanding your unique pain cycle. We work on techniques to gently reintroduce comfort into your intimate moments and explore how factors like fear and tension might be playing a role. I may recommend working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist to evaluate issues like vaginismus or muscle spasms, and encourage a GP examination to check for underlying conditions. At the same time, I help you reframe the experience, finding creative and compassionate ways to bring pleasure into the bedroom—even if pain has been part of your past story.

Low libido is a natural part of the human experience—much like the ebb and flow of the seasons. You might notice this during times of postpartum adjustment, high stress, major life transitions, or perimenopause. It’s completely normal for your sexual desire to have its peaks and troughs.

In our work together, I help you reconnect with your innate capacity for pleasure. We explore physical factors that may be at play while also gently examining any emotional or relational elements. When acute mental health concerns such as depression or anxiety arise, I work collaboratively with your GP and psychologist to ensure you have comprehensive support. The focus is on understanding what the current lull means for you and your relationship, and how we might nurture a pathway back to a vibrant, satisfying connection.

It’s not unusual for partners to experience different levels of sexual desire at various times. These differences can sometimes lead to feelings of frustration or disconnect. I see mismatched libido as an opportunity to deepen emotional intimacy and enrich communication between partners.

In our sessions, we explore each partner’s natural rhythm of desire, understanding that these ebbs and flows are a normal part of life. I facilitate open conversations where both of you can share your needs, desires, and fears. We look for creative ways to bridge the gap—whether that means discovering new shared activities, building in moments of sensuality, or simply learning to appreciate each other’s unique pace. The aim is to help both partners feel understood and connected, transforming differences into opportunities for growth.

Sexual trauma can leave deep imprints on the nervous system—long after the event, the body may still carry patterns of tension, avoidance, or fear. You might feel numb, disconnected from your desire, or reactive in moments of intimacy, even when you deeply long for closeness.

In our work together, I gently guide you into a therapeutic space where your body is not pathologised but listened to—where survival responses are honoured, and pleasure is never forced. We focus on building safety from the inside out, reconnecting to your body’s cues, and restoring your sense of agency. This is not about “getting over it,” but about moving with care, reclaiming trust in your own sensations, and allowing desire to return on your terms. 

Please note: I work with clients who are no longer in the acute or crisis stage of recovery and are seeking longer-term, body-based support for healing. If you are currently in crisis or unsure what support is right for you, you can visit 1800RESPECT.org.au or call 1800 737 732 for immediate, confidential support.

Feeling disconnected from your body or holding shame about how you look can deeply affect your experience of pleasure. Whether shaped by cultural messaging, trauma, chronic illness, or postpartum changes, negative body image can make intimacy feel like performance instead of presence.

In therapy, we explore your relationship with your body as it is now—not as something to fix, but as something worthy of being felt, held, and loved. We use somatic tools to rebuild embodied awareness and interrupt the internalised scripts. When you come home to your body, pleasure becomes possible—not as a reward, but as a birthright.

Sexual anxiety can show up in so many ways—performance pressure, fear of rejection, hypervigilance, or spirals of overthinking during intimacy. You might feel like your body is there but you’re not, or that pleasure feels just out of reach.

Together, we slow down. Through somatic and psychosexual therapy, we explore how anxiety is not just mental, but physiological—a nervous system in protection mode. We work on creating safety in the body so that pleasure doesn’t feel like something to “achieve” but something to receive. Over time, you learn to stay with sensation, soften into arousal, and let intimacy be a place of connection, not stress.

Childbirth—whether vaginal or surgical—can leave behind more than just physical healing. Many women experience changes in libido, pain with sex, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, and a sense of disconnection from their sexual self. These experiences are deeply valid, but too often dismissed.

In our work, I hold space for the whole you—mother, lover, woman. We tend to the nervous system, the pelvic body, and the identity shifts that postpartum brings. Where needed, I may refer you to a trusted pelvic floor physio or GP for collaborative care. But the heart of our work is in supporting you to reconnect with your erotic aliveness—not as it once was, but as it wants to be now: tender, evolving, and entirely your own.
