ABOUT BELINDA

Belinda is a trauma-informed Somatic Sex and Relationship Therapist and Pleasure Coach.

She has been working with clients as a Holistic Therapist and coach for 17 years in the field of Counselling, mindfulness, embodiment, sexuality and healing. She has a passion for working with those who experience anxiety and fears about engaging in intimacy and sex and those with challenges with self-love, libido issues, numbness and erectile dysfunction. Working through an embodied lens, she helps clients learn to listen to messages from their body, develop agency, build greater sensuality, and feel more capable of choosing consensual, enjoyable experiences by learning how to communicate their intimacy and pleasure needs authentically.

Her work helps to awaken pleasure, confidence, sensuality and increase curiosity.

She works with couples and has been trained extensively in Tantra, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Non-violent Communication. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space to have open conversations to address the many stressors and factors that go on to affect sex, pleasure, life joy and relationships. She works with clients to find practical and loving pathways and solutions to build the connection and understanding that they seek.

Her sessions are inspiring and gentle, using Counselling, coaching, connection exercises, erotic embodiment tools and education. Belinda helps clients learn to activate aliveness and confidence back to sex, their body and relationships. Sex Therapy is a holistic approach to transform & move beyond challenges, disinterest and fear to feel sensually alive, engaged & connected in intimacy and sex. 

Sessions are available via ZOOM or in person within the Geelong region of Victoria.

 

“Their guidance in this area is truly incredible. I always feel I am held in such safe, encouraging hands with them."
