Frequently asked questions

In our first session we'll talk in depth about what you're experiencing and what you'd like to get out of our work together. This session is really important — it sets the tone and direction, helps uncover the roots of what's going on, and shows us where to best focus our attention. It gives me both the big picture and a closer look at the specifics of your experience.

Of course not. We go at your own pace, and you can always let me know if you need to slow down. Do keep in mind that sexuality is often hard to talk about simply because we're not used to it — so the more you're able to share about the specifics, the more precisely I can support you.

Nothing, ever.

You absolutely don't need a partner to start exploring your sexuality. Whether you're single or partnered, you're welcome here. Even if you do have a partner, we'll usually begin with self-discovery — getting to know and reconnecting with yourself is a huge part of this work, and it's the floor everything else builds on.

Yes. A partner can be involved in a few different ways — some couples bring a partner in for a session or two to build shared understanding of what's going on; sometimes a partner joins because there's something they want to explore for themselves, separate from what originally brought you here; and sometimes it develops into an ongoing couples process.

I do keep a degree of separation between the different dimensions of this work: what you've told me alone stays confidential unless we agree otherwise, and the same holds for anything your partner shares when you're not there.

It's also important that a partner comes of their own accord rather than being pushed or dragged into it — this kind of work can't be forced.

That's completely normal, and you're not alone in feeling it. Almost everyone arrives with some nervousness — these are intimate, vulnerable topics, and feeling shy or embarrassed doesn't mean anything has gone wrong. There's no pressure to have the right words. Part of my job is to make this a space where those feelings are met with understanding, never judgment, and we'll go at a pace that feels safe for you.

I can't put a number on it up front. The more open and willing you are to share and make changes, the faster the process tends to move — but it can always go at your own speed. That said, I don't aim to keep you in sessions indefinitely. Sometimes information, a session or two, and some exercises to try on your own are all someone needs to feel they've arrived where they wanted to be. Other times it's a longer, more sensitive process, or someone prefers to go slowly, or new goals emerge once earlier ones have been met.

Sexocorporel is based on the idea that the mind and body are interconnected and a change made in one will affect the other. In other words, how we think and feel about intimacy is mirrored directly in the body and vice versa. Rather than only exploring a concern through conversation, this approach also works directly with breathing, movement and awareness of physical habits to create change from the ground up, not just intellectually. Many of the ways we've learned to respond to intimacy were shaped, often without realizing it, over a long time. Working with the body directly can make it possible to notice and shift patterns that talking alone doesn't always reach — especially where tension, restriction or disconnection from the body plays a role.

Sessions take place online by video. Before we meet, you'll receive a private link to join — no complicated setup needed. All that matters on your end is a stable internet connection and a private, quiet space where you won't be interrupted and can speak freely. Many people find that being in their own comfortable environment actually makes it easier to open up.

Yes. Everything we discuss stays strictly between us. Nothing is recorded, and nothing you share is passed on to anyone. Confidentiality is the foundation of this work — it's what makes it possible to speak openly, and I take it seriously.
