Couples Therapy Chichester
Eroticism thrives in the space between the self and the other.
Esther Perel
Supporting Couples in Rebuilding Connection, Desire & Trust
Are you struggling with intimacy, desire, or communication in your relationship? Do past experiences, anxiety, or shame make it difficult to feel close—physically or emotionally?
As a Relationship and Psychosexual Therapist, my aim is to help couples develop constructive and compassionate ways of communicating. Together, we create space for both partners to express needs, fears, boundaries, and emotions—building mutual understanding, safety, and trust.
In our work, you’ll begin to:
Challenge unhelpful beliefs about sex, love, intimacy, and relationships
Understand your body’s signals and emotional reactions
Reconnect with your desires and sense of self
Learn to support one another with empathy and clarity
Communication That Connects
Many couples struggle not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know how to communicate in a way that truly reaches each other. I help you recognise the patterns and stories that keep you stuck, and offer tools that support deeper, more honest connection—verbally, emotionally, and physically.
You’ll begin to speak and listen differently, and relate to each other from a place of authenticity.
Reigniting Intimacy & Desire
One of the most common issues I see is the quiet drift from intimacy—sometimes due to trauma, stress, or long-standing disconnection. Over time, sexual desire can fade, emotional closeness can erode, and frustration or avoidance can replace affection.
It’s never too late to begin again.
In therapy, we gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface, working to uncover the emotional blocks, pain points, or past experiences that may be impacting your connection today. Whether it’s about physical intimacy, communication, or emotional safety—our work together aims to bring clarity, healing, and renewed closeness.
A Compassionate Process for Real Change
Relationship therapy takes time. It’s a journey of increasing awareness, understanding, and choice—both as individuals and as a couple.
You’ll learn not only how to express what you need, but how to receive your partner’s experience too. Together, we’ll explore what it means to feel seen, supported, and met—emotionally, physically, and relationally.
