Integrated Bodywork & Somatic Psychotherapy
Talking therapy is extremely beneficial.
For some clients, they feel talking therapy can only get them so far.
When clients choose Integrated Bodywork & Somatic Therapy, they are usually looking for a deeper solution than traditional “talk therapy” can provide. They often feel like they understand their problems intellectually, but their body still reacts with anxiety, tension, or shut-down.
- When Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough.
- Healing Trauma Without Re-traumatisation.
- Reconnecting with the “Felt Sense” instead of solely remaining “in our head”.
- Resolving Psychosomatic Symptoms.
- Nervous System Regulation.
Integrated Bodywork & Somatic Psychotherapy
A holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions can assist in finding solutions to issues individuals and couples are experiencing.
from £87.50
Overcoming trauma, building relationship skills, and experiencing safe, consensual touch to reduce intimacy-related “mental blocks”.
This service is bespoke to the client and non-sexual in nature.
While it can help with “intimacy issues” or “sexual dysfunction” indirectly by healing the underlying trauma, the physical work is strictly non-sexual and often includes “hard” or “soft” techniques like pressure on rigid muscles or light, non-moving touch to encourage inner awareness.
Direct sexual or genital touch is never part of this practice.
Holistic Tantra Practices
Tantric Yoni and Lingam massages are sacred, holistic bodywork practices focused on healing, energy activation, and spiritual growth rather than purely sexual gratification. These practices view the genitals as "sacred spaces" (Yoni for vulva, Lingam for penis) that store both life force energy and unresolved emotional tension. 45 minutes or 90 minute appointments available.
from £155
Why Choose This Practice?
- Healing Past Trauma: It provides a safe, consensual space to process and release deep-seated emotional or sexual blockages stored in the pelvic region.
- Overcoming Sexual Challenges: It can help address concerns like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, or difficulty reaching orgasm by retraining the nervous system.
- Deep Intimacy and Connection: Individuals and couples use it to foster deeper vulnerability, self-love, and spiritual connection.
- Expanding Pleasure Capacity: Many clients seek to move beyond “peak” orgasms toward long-lasting, full-body energetic experiences.
Key Benefits for the Client
- Emotional & Physical Release: Dissolves “stagnant” energy, potentially alleviating chronic tension, anxiety, and symptoms of stress.
- Increased Self-Confidence: Fosters a positive relationship with one’s own body and sexuality, often leading to a newfound sense of liberation and joy.
- Enhanced Vitality: By circulating sexual energy (Prana or Chi) instead of just releasing it, clients often report feeling more revitalized and “alive” for days afterward.
- Mindfulness and Presence: Through techniques like “Bliss Breath” and eye-gazing, clients learn to stay grounded in the present moment, which can improve their daily lives and relationships.

Specialist, Evidence-Informed Intimacy Development for Disabled Adults.
Intimacy shapes how we experience ourselves as adults.
To feel another person respond to us — safely, respectfully and without judgement — can profoundly influence confidence, identity and emotional wellbeing.
For some adults living with physical or learning disabilities or difficulties, opportunities for gradual, supported and confidence-building intimacy have been limited by circumstance rather than desire.
It is a responsibility I approach with care to support individuals who consciously choose to explore this part of their development.
This specialist service is offered exclusively to adults with physical or learning disabilities/difficulties who:
- Personally and explicitly request this pathway.*
- Are over the legal age of consent.
- Demonstrate clear decision-making capacity.
- Understand the nature of the work.
*It is never suggested or implied by Dr Adlem that you should or need to choose this service. The only time this is discussed is if you specifically enquire about it.
