Your path to more love, better sex, and deeper intimacy
Welcome to LSI Therapy
A safe place to talk about the physical and emotional challenges of sex and relationships.
We’re surrounded by messages telling us what love, sex and intimacy should look like. It makes it harder to ask for help when things go wrong. And, from painful sex to affairs, they often do.
But you don’t have to navigate these complex, tender experiences alone. Talk to someone who will listen without judgement and provide the support you need to make things better.
Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy gently moves you towards deeper self-awareness, understanding and self-acceptance. From there, it’s easier to create the kind of authentic connections you really want.
My name is Olivia (she/her), a certified Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist. I offer inclusive, trauma-informed talking therapy to individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations.
Chances are you weren’t taught much about how to have a great relationships, or good sex. You probably had to work it out for yourself. Then, when things went wrong, you’ve probably blamed yourself, or your partner(s).
If you don’t have the sex or relationship you want, and don’t know what to do about it, that’s where I can help.

ENDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Letting go of love can be painful and confusing. Take time to think about what you need and grieve the loss, so you can move towards a healthy closure.
-
REDUCING SHAME, GUILT OR ANXIETY
Sex is deeply personal. That can make us feel very vulnerable - but difficult emotions don’t have to define who you are or how you love.
-
INCREASING INTIMACY
Your relationship may be new or well-established. Either way, more closeness and passion are still possible if you both want more.
