Psychosexual Somatics Coaching

Supporting you to get to the emotional root of your sex and intimacy challenges

In Psychosexual Somatics Therapy (PST) we believe that all sexual challenges have an underlying emotional root cause.

It is only by addressing both the mind, emotions and the body, and by re-regulating the nervous system, that issues can be fully resolved. Therefore, PST is not so much about learning fancy quick tricks to become orgasmic or to last for hours in your love-making.

What PST is about is supporting you to explore your sexuality; to understand how your past could be impacting your present, how your ability to hold boundaries could be impacting your body, how your nervous system could be impacting your sense of safety.

PST is about gently increasing your capacity to be in your body and feel, whilst learning to lovingly be with all aspects of yourself. The process involves getting in touch with your emotional landscape in a slow and safe way so that you can gently begin to open and experience your vibrancy, power and the life-force that fuels your sexuality.

Is Psychosexual Somatics for Me?

How does the

Psychosexual Somatics

process work?

The PST process starts with a 60 – 90 minute Sexual History Assessment where we will start to unravel your relating patterns and beliefs. This is where the light bulb moments begin to happen and the seeds of change are planted. It will also be an opportunity to see if we are the right fit to work with each other.

Individual sessions last 60 minutes and you can expect to attend between 4 – 12 sessions to complete the full PST journey. I hold a boundaried therapeutic space, working at a slow and gentle pace that is trauma informed.

Following the assessment session, the PST process will contain one or more of the following four stages, depending on your needs and suitability.

1

Cognitive Approach

Awareness of your behaviour patterns, limiting belief systems and emotional issues using a combination of coaching and therapeutic techniques.
2

Somatic Awareness

Connecting with sensation and emotions in your body through somatic mindfulness and other breathing and embodiment techniques techniques.
3

Physical Release

Moving somatic and emotional blocks and trauma through embodiment techniques.
4

Sexual Integration

Helping you to reclaim your sexual energy and notice any remaining resistances to this.

My guiding intention is to meet you from a heart centred space, to hear you and reflect back the things that need to be seen and expressed. My intention is to support you to build your own inner resources; to regulate your nervous system, to anchor a loving and compassionate connection with yourself, to become more juicy, embodied and alive, and to strengthen your inner authority and power.

In PST sessions clients remain fully clothed as it is a therapeutic talking space which will involve some embodiment practices. I do not offer touch during our time together, however I will hold space for you to tune into your somatic bodily sensations which is a less invasive yet potent practice.

All sessions are confidential. There are two occasions where I will pass on information:

  • If you share that you are going to physically harm yourself or anyone else. In which case, I will take the appropriate action and disclose the information.
  • I attend monthly supervision where I discuss my case load. All of the client discussions remain anonymous during the supervision. The main purpose of these sessions are for me to receive reflections on my practice so that I can best serve my clients in a safe, boundaried and ethical way.

Cost

I offer a sliding scale of £40 – £60 a session. Simply pay the amount that reflects your income.

What They’re Saying

“"Eshana brought professionalism, insight and genuine warmth to our work. From the start I felt safe, held and able to show up for a rather tough inquiry for me. Though nervous, I actually looked forward to every session, thanks to Eshana’s supportive guidance! PST was a big step in a longer journey around my relationship with my body and past experience. I was able to connect with what was present in my body in ways I had not done before, and really tune into some pain in ways that were releasing and not excessive. I have walked away with new clarity, different answers than I thought I’d find, and very useful tools that I’ve been using in my everyday. Eshana facilitated a very complete and nourishing journey and I am grateful!"”

“"Eshana was such an enlightening, gentle soul to work with; approaching even the most sensitive of topics with openness, awareness and grace. I recommend Eshana for PST and any other therapy or support. Always approachable and everso easy to talk to, Eshana provides useful information and theories to allow for a better understanding and to enable positive change. Through working with Eshana, I was able to make sense of occurrences within my childhood and connect pieces of the puzzle around aspects of my characteristics. I would work with Eshana again in the future, without hesitation and wish her the very best, with my whole heart."”

JGSurrey

“"It was such a joy to work with Eshana, she brings a beautiful balance of deep listening skills, thoughtful response and a wealth of knowledge. I felt completely safe with her and managed to share some very vulnerable parts of myself which she helped me to respond to with love and great care. I thoroughly recommend working with Eshana."”

JGSurrey

“"My sessions with Eshana gave me some deep insights into my sexual dynamics with women. Eshana made me feel completely safe and held to be able to express some very intimate details of my personal relationship with my sexual energy and how it manifested in relation to a recent relationship. Also Eshana guided me into feeling into my energy centres in relation to my feelings around sex and enabled me to feel into my masculine sexual power, making some suggestions on how I could bring this power into my relationships in a safe way. Throughout I felt Eshana was sensitive to feeling my energy body and my feelings which enabled her to guide me appropriately for the situation that was being worked on. If you have any sexual issues you would like to explore or work with, I highly recommend Eshana as a therapist, I felt completely held by love and empowered to explore my sexuality in all its details."”
