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, 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 who:
It is not available to the general public.
The work is informed by the behavioural sex therapy model developed by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson.
They observed:
“Fear and anxiety are the great enemies of human sexual response.”
Their research demonstrated that sexual confidence can be restored through:
They also noted:
“Sexual response is a natural function which can be disrupted by fear and restored through understanding.”
This understanding underpins my approach.
Intimacy is cultivated, not rushed.
Safety reduces anxiety.
Reduced anxiety restores response.
Within a clearly discussed and agreed framework, intimacy sessions may include:
The nature and pace of the work are determined collaboratively.
Nothing is assumed.
Nothing is imposed.
Everything is discussed beforehand.
The intention is developmental — building embodied confidence, emotional regulation and transferable relational skills.
Many eligible clients feel unsure how to initiate intimacy or conversation about desire.
To avoid planting ideas, this pathway must always be requested by the client first.
Once clearly requested and agreed, I may take a gentle facilitating role within the pre-defined structure. This can include:
This occurs only:
Facilitation reduces pressure.
It does not override autonomy.
The aim is to help clients experience intimacy without fear of “getting it wrong.”
When undertaken appropriately, clients often report:
The ultimate goal is independence and self-assurance — not reliance on the therapeutic setting.
Disability presents uniquely in each individual. Over time, I have worked with a wide range of physical and learning conditions.
Conditions themselves are not barriers.
What matters is:
Adaptation is built into the process. Positioning, pacing, environment and communication are adjusted respectfully and professionally.
Clients are never rushed.
Sessions are tailored to physical comfort and cognitive clarity.
The physical and psychological wellbeing of both client and practitioner is paramount.
To ensure this, I maintain:
Intimacy must be safe to be beneficial.
The environment is calm, contained and discreet — designed to support relaxation, dignity and enjoyment within agreed boundaries.
Every individual’s intimate aspirations are different.
Clients may wish to explore particular forms of closeness or specific intimate experiences. These can be discussed openly within consultation.
If a request is:
It can be considered within a bespoke framework.
If not, it will be declined transparently and respectfully.
Clarity protects everyone involved.
To be entrusted with someone’s intimate development is not taken lightly.
Integrity is not separate from this work.
It is its foundation.
Some clients request deeper levels of embodied intimacy. Where sessions involve extended duration, increased preparation, or heightened therapeutic responsibility, fees will reflect this.
£100–£150
£165–£275
£450–£700+
£900–£1,500+
from £2,500+ (depending on duration and individual bespoke design)
NOTE: These are illustrative ranges based on observed practitioner rates and reflect the reality that deeper, longer and more facilitated work carries more professional time and responsibility — not because of the content of the acts involved, but because of the increased planning, containment, consent review, support and integration required.
It’s natural to feel shy or uncertain about exploring intimacy. Here, every step is guided by your comfort and curiosity. You decide what to explore and how far to go. Many clients find that the first session — even just talking, holding hands, and practising gentle closeness — transforms nervousness into confidence. Each experience is tailored to you, with professional support, ethical boundaries, and ongoing consent. Booking a session is an empowering step towards embodied confidence, emotional safety, and a fuller sense of your adult sexual identity
