Psychosexual & Couples Therapy Chichester

"The Quality of Your Relationships Determines the Quality of Your Life"
E. Perel

Sex plays a significant role in determining who we are and how we feel about ourselves, so it can be a source of pain or pleasure.  Psychosexual therapy is focussed on shifting your experience to become one of pleasure and connection in a safe and non-judgmental space, to restore and build happiness and confidence and to regain the relationship and sexual connection you want.

Welcome to a non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable discussing relationships and sexual issues.

“Healing begins with understanding—let me help you rebuild trust, deepen connection, and create a healthier relationship.”

Psychosexual therapy offers you a supportive space to explore personal concerns around relationships, intimacy, desire, sexual health, and emotional connection. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties with relationships, body image, confidence, or past experiences that impact your present, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.

Through gentle guidance and a tailored, integrative approach, we’ll work together to build self-understanding, develop clear communication of your needs and boundaries, and support your journey toward a more empowered and fulfilling intimate life. My integrative approach offers both practical tools and emotional insight—because a fulfilling, connected intimate life is a vital part of your overall well-being.

About me

Barbora is passionate and seasoned COSRT registered Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist in Brighton.
(The professional body for Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist)

I provide a relational approach and, unlike some therapists, I make talking about sex something that feels comfortable, natural and safe. To help my clients to integrate it into their everyday life; to help them to feel happy and confident.

Through my career I have specialised in counselling and therapy to help individuals and couples find space and resolution to both sexual and relational issues; with the view that these issues have roots in psychology, emotion, the physical body, and a person’s history and culture.

There is a complete absence of judgement.  I am here to help you to understand your situation, to work with what you struggle with, and to find a resolution and build the sexual life you want.
