Sex and Relationship Therapy

in Barcelona & Online

Sex therapy and relationship therapy for individuals and couples seeking greater intimacy, connection, confidence, and understanding.

Sexuality is more than performance or technique. It is connection — with ourselves, with others, and with our bodies.

Sometimes that connection gets disrupted by pain, shame, trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, changes in desire, confusion, or simply the complexity of life.

Sex therapy offers a confidential and non-judgmental space to explore these experiences and develop a healthier relationship with sexuality, intimacy, and yourself.

Whether you’re struggling with a specific sexual concern, navigating relationship difficulties, or simply want to understand and deepen your relationship with your sexuality, you’re welcome here.

I offer sex and relationship therapy in Barcelona and online.


A Tailored Approach to Sex & Relationship Therapy

My approach is pluralistic and collaborative. This means there is no single method or predefined path that everyone has to follow.

Instead, we work together to understand what you need and adapt the therapy to your individual circumstances, goals, preferences, and experiences.

My background in Somatic Experiencing® also allows us to gently include awareness of the nervous system, physical sensations, emotions, and embodied responses in the therapeutic process.

Sometimes talking is enough.

Sometimes experiences are felt more strongly in the body than they can be expressed in words.

We can make space for both.

The pace of therapy is guided by what feels appropriate and manageable for you.


What Can Sex Therapy Help With?

Sex therapy can support you with a wide range of sexual, intimate, and relational concerns, including:

  • Differences in sexual desire — when your desire feels lower, higher, or different from what you would like
  • Erectile difficulties or unreliable erections
  • Premature, delayed, or absent ejaculation
  • Difficulty reaching orgasm
  • Pain during sex, including experiences associated with vaginismus, vulvodynia, or dyspareunia
  • Feeling disconnected from sensation, pleasure, or your body
  • Fear of sex or intimacy
  • Sexual anxiety or performance anxiety
  • Rebuilding trust after affairs or infidelity
  • Desire differences between partners
  • Communication difficulties around sex and intimacy
  • Open, polyamorous, and consensually non-monogamous relationships
  • Low sexual confidence or shame
  • Gender identity exploration
  • Sexual orientation and sexual fluidity
  • Sexuality after trauma, illness, or major life changes
  • Attachment patterns that affect intimacy and relationships
  • Relationship transitions, separation, or endings

You don’t need to know exactly what the problem is before reaching out.

Sometimes the first step is simply having a space where you can talk openly about what is happening.


Relationship Therapy in Barcelona & Online

Sexuality and relationships are often closely connected.

Relationship therapy can provide a space for couples and partners to explore patterns that may be difficult to change on their own.

You might be looking for support with:

  • Differences in sexual desire
  • Intimacy and connection
  • Communication
  • Recurring conflict
  • Trust and rebuilding after infidelity
  • Sexual difficulties within a relationship
  • Changes in your relationship structure
  • Open or polyamorous relationships
  • Boundaries and agreements
  • Major life transitions
  • Deciding what comes next in a relationship

The goal is not to take sides or decide what your relationship should look like.

Instead, we can work together to understand the patterns between you, create more space for honest communication, and explore what each person needs.


LGBTQIA+ and GSRD-Affirming Sex Therapy

My practice is LGBTQIA+ and GSRD affirming.

I work with people of all genders, sexual orientations, bodies, and relationship structures, including queer, trans, non-binary, and relationship-diverse clients.

We can explore sexuality, gender, identity, intimacy, relationships, and sexual wellbeing without assuming that there is one “normal” way to experience or express them.

I also work with clients exploring:

  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender identity
  • Sexual fluidity
  • Non-monogamy and polyamory
  • Kink and diverse sexual interests
  • Relationship structures
  • Body image and body confidence
  • Sexuality and identity following major life changes

A Sex-Positive, Non-Judgmental Space

Talking about sex can feel vulnerable.

You may have concerns about your sexual history, desires, fantasies, body, relationships, performance, or experiences that you’ve never felt comfortable discussing with anyone else.

Therapy provides a confidential space where you can speak openly without being judged or pathologized.

There is no expectation that you arrive with everything figured out.

We can start wherever you are.


Sex Therapy in Barcelona and Online

I offer in-person sex therapy and relationship therapy in Barcelona, as well as online sessions where appropriate.

Online therapy can offer additional flexibility if you have a demanding schedule, travel frequently, or simply feel more comfortable attending sessions from your own space.

Whether we meet in Barcelona or online, the work remains collaborative, confidential, and adapted to your needs.


Fees

Individual therapy sessions are €65 per session.

Relationship therapy for couples or partners is €85 per session.

Sessions are available in Barcelona and online, where appropriate.


How I Work

The foundation of my practice is inclusivity, respect, and acceptance.

I work with people of all genders, orientations, bodies, and relationship structures. Gender, sexual, and relationship diversity are central to how I think about and practise therapy.

My approach is:

  • Pluralistic — therapy is adapted to your individual needs
  • Collaborative — we work together rather than following a fixed formula
  • Trauma-informed — with attention to safety, boundaries, and your pace
  • Somatically informed — including awareness of the body and nervous system
  • Sex-positive — sexuality is approached without shame or unnecessary pathologising
  • LGBTQIA+/GSRD affirming — respecting diverse identities and relationships

Together, we create a space where you can speak openly about your sexual history, longings, discomforts, fantasies, desires, and relationships without fear of judgment.
