The other night, I had the privilege of hearing ethical adult-film creator Anna Richards of FrolicMe speak at the enchanting Roof Garden in Kensington, London. Her work, whilst explicit, lifts female pleasure to the forefront—centering context, emotion, and connection, rather than rushing toward climax. It reminded me, again, of why I do this work.
In my coaching and therapy practice, I hold those same conversations—some in my clients’ hearts, some in their minds, and yes, some in my own. Conversations about desire, boundaries, shame, and the permission we rarely give ourselves to explore what we truly want, when we want it.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to rediscover your pleasure, bridge a disconnect with your partner, or ask for intimacy again—this post is for you.
Why Couples Seek Sex and Intimacy Coaching
Many couples come to me because something has shifted: the spark feels muted, sexual frustration builds, or connection feels mechanical rather than alive. They’re not broken—they’ve simply lost a pathway back to desire.
Sex coaching UK (and especially sex coach in London) provides a compassionate, pragmatic way to address these struggles without shame. As a seasoned relationship and sex coach working globally (online via Zoom), I help people…
Move through emotional blocks that dampen desire
Rebuild sexual trust and safety
Learn how to talk about sex in a relationship
Navigate mismatched sex drives in couples
Reignite connection and intimacy naturally
Sex therapy—whether local or online—is about restoring openness, helping you understand your body, your desires, and your unique erotic language. That’s why many also search for a sex therapist near me, sex therapy London, or discreet sex therapist London—even when sessions take place virtually.
Common Sexual Challenges and How Therapy Can Help
1. Sexless relationship support & emotional distance
A long stretch without intimacy can be more than a symptom—it can erode confidence, connection, and trust. In coaching or therapy, you work together to uncover the emotional walls, fatigue, or shame lying behind the silence.
2. Mismatched desire or libido
If you're two bodies on different schedules, that mismatch can feel lonely and frustrating. Therapy for mismatched sex drives in couples helps you see beyond blame and find rhythms that honour both of you.
3. Struggling with intimacy
Perhaps sex isn’t absent—but it’s mechanical, disconnected, or just “functional.” This is a call to reintroduce eroticism, curiosity, and play back into your relationship.
4. Communication failures
Wanting sex is one thing—asking for what you desire is quite another. Many couples stall simply because they don’t know how to speak about it. That’s where intimacy coaching teaches you safe, structured, embodied conversation.
5. Shame, trauma, performance pressure
These heavier strands can underlie so many sexual difficulties. Therapy or coaching can create space to name, unlearn, and reweave your relationship with erotic energy. My training and experience is trauma-informed and I’m ready to help you move beyond the past so that you can enjoy your sex life now.
Finding the Right Sex Therapist Near You (or Online)
Choosing a therapist or coach you trust is essential. Here are some tips:
Training & credentials: Look for credible qualifications (certifications, trauma-informed therapeutic approach, etc).
Approach & ethics: A coach who emphasizes consent, connection, and real pleasure—not performance.
Comfort & safety: You should feel heard, respected, and safe to share—even your most vulnerable questions.
Flexible modality: Online (Zoom) access means you can work with someone in London for sex therapy services or sex therapy in London or internationally via Zoom.
Discretion: Especially in intimate work, to ensure privacy and confidentiality you want a discreet sex therapist in London or online.

Practical Tips to Improve Your Sex Life Today
Here are gentle, real-world strategies you can begin experimenting with now:
Start with self-exploration
Use your hands, movement, breath—let yourself discover what lights you up, with curiosity, not expectation. Explore fantasies via journaling (no judgment). The answer to, “How to increase desire and intimacy naturally” often begins with solo reconnection.Track your rhythms
Notice days or moments when you feel more energetic, more connected. Use those windows to experiment.Open a small conversation
Try a softness check-in: “How are you feeling about how I touch you lately?” rather than launching into full demand of your wildest fantasy. Keep it gentle and curious and start small.Share your pleasure map
Once you know what feels good for you (pressure, pace, position), share it. Encourage your partner to explore their own body too. Co-create together.Celebrate small steps
Nothing has to be “perfect.” An invited touch, a pause before moving, a playful question—these count. Over time, they grow into deeper connection.
What Happens in a Sex Therapy Session?
To help demystify what we do together, here’s a quick walkthrough:
Intake & safety: I ask about your history, concerns, boundaries, hopes.
Goals & vision: We co-create a roadmap—what do you want to shift?
Experiential exercises: Mind/body exploration, guided conversation, erotic reconnection practices to do in the privacy of your home.
Homework & reflection: Between sessions, you’ll practice small invitations, reflections, embodiment practices, mindfulness or journaling.
Check-ins & adjustments: We’ll continuously revisit what's working, what’s not, and evolve the approach.
Because every body, relationship, and desire is unique, the path is tailored—from sexless relationship support to reconnecting desire, or reclaiming erotic confidence.
FAQ & Common Questions
Q: Is sex coaching the same as sex therapy?
Coaching tends to be more forward-focused, experiential, and goal-based; therapy often delves deeper into emotional, relational, or trauma layers. Many clinicians integrate both approaches (which is my style).
Q: How many sessions are needed?
It depends—some people feel shifts in 4–6 sessions; others take 12 or more. The journey is non-linear, and we calibrate together.
Q: Can coaching work for deeply rooted issues like trauma or pain?
If your concerns involve trauma, pain or deep psychological blocks, I’m ready to support you as a trauma-informed therapeutic coach. If you require medical support then I’ll refer you on to the right professional.
Q: What if my partner isn’t ready to participate?
You can absolutely begin this work solo. Many clients make more internal transformation than they expected—and sometimes their shifts invite the partner in later.
Q: What if sex leaves me feeling depleted?
If you feel more drained than nourished, listen deeply. Your body is communicating something important. That often highlights the need for emotional safety, boundary renegotiation, or deeper intimacy work.
Bringing It All Together
You don’t need to become someone else to reclaim your erotic life. The desire, the capacity, the pleasure—your body already knows it. It may simply be waiting for the permission to emerge.
If sex feels like effort, if intimacy feels distant, if desire feels dormant—I see you. And I’m here to hold space for you to explore what’s on the other side: ease, fascination, pleasure, connection.
