Desire & Intimacy
"4 weeks ago my partner and I were in a complete rut. We weren't communicating, we had grown apart emotionally and in turn weren't being intimate. Isabelle, in just four sessions, has helped our relationship in doing a total 180.
We are back to how we used to be and have an open line of communication. She is very kind and knowledgeable, and I would recommend her to anyone experiencing a lack of emotional connection and desire in their relationship." - P, 29
Performance Anxiety (ED)
"My experience with Isabelle was fantastic and I could not recommend her enough! She is very sweet, calming, reassuring, patient, understanding and helpful in guidance.
I had issues with sexual confidence and self-worth, and Isabelle was able to help me and work with me over the course of 6 sessions to overcome these anxieties, to the point where they are now in the rear view mirror. If required, I will definitely be contacting her again for advice and help. 100% recommend" P, 23
Desire & Intimacy
Isabelle helped me open up about my needs and wants in my sex life with my partner. She helped me understand my attachment style and how to set boundaries if I’m not in the mood in a more positive way.
After my sessions, I now understand the importance of intimacy and what intimacy looks like outside of the bedroom." G, 28
Pleasure & Self-Discovery
"I really enjoyed working with you, Isabelle. We discussed so many things. You definitely helped me on the feeling lighter with myself. I feel so much less pressure. I'm in a better state of mind and I'm continuing to get better. You give so much and then some." D, 33
Performance Anxiety (ED)
"It's been an amazing 5 sessions.. I felt impotent but I don't anymore. I've learned so much about myself and relationships." B, 35
Performance Anxiety (ED)
"I'm able to have an erection with my wife. Being able to have erection with my wife, not only from self satisfaction, that is huge. I feel much better about it. I want to have penetration." A, 29
Arousal & Orgasm
"The same thing was happening again. I had a spiraling brain during sex. For me, knowing was a big thing. I needed to understand how it all works and I do. I feel I'm more in control now.
I'm able to communicate and express myself during sex. I'm not panicking about it anymore and I've never been able to do that before. I'm really greatful." K, 43
Performance Anxiety (ED)
I originally came to Isabelle after I'd been with my partner for several years. I knew I wanted to be with him, but I had very low sex drive, my self confidence was through the floor, and whenever we were intimate I would often struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and at worst, panic attacks.
Speaking with Isabelle, it became apparent that my issues ran much deeper than how I was feeling in the bedroom and there was a lot that needed unpicking. I've seen many therapists in the past but my experience with Isabelle was completely different. We worked on practical solutions that helped me move forward, rather than focusing on the past. She also helped me realise that all my feelings were normal, and completely justified.
Over time she became much more than a sex therapist, she supported me through the most challenging period of my life when my dad sadly passed away from cancer. I now understand that challenging life events like this understandably have a ripple effect through all aspects of your life, so you need to make sure you look after yourself. Giving yourself space to breath and setting boundaries is key to getting back into a good place.
Fast forward 4 years (I saw Isabelle on and off during this time), I am the happiest I have ever been and my relationship is flourishing because of that. We have been together 8 years and our sex life is better than ever before, helped by improved communication and silencing those intrusive thoughts!" H, 32
Desire
& Sexual Presence
"Before starting therapy with Isabelle, I felt an overwhelming anxiety around intimacy that was so debilitating I thought I might never have sex again. I'm incredibly grateful I found her website, as that's no longer a concern.
Isabelle helped me understand that my experiences were normal and that I could overcome them. Not only has she improved my sex life with my husband, but our entire relationship has blossomed. I've been able to break down walls, communicate more openly, and express myself in ways I never thought possible.
Isabelle has taught me valuable techniques and strategies for managing anxiety, including how to express my needs, understand when I'm not in the mood, and avoid overthinking every detail. She's an incredible therapist who has become an integral part of my and my husband's well-being. I can't thank her enough." P, 32
Intimacy
& Connection
"I discovered what I needed. I learned what I needed in a relationship and what I didn't. Things I didn't even know. Now I have an abundance mindset in regard to dating. I used to feel compelled to say yes all the time but I learned to establish boundaries and prioritise my needs. I'm in a really good place." C, 34
Performance Anxiety (ED)
"Something kind of clicked. Before these sessions I wasn't looking forward to sex but now I do. I'm not worried about sex anymore and I have a positive mentality around that side of things. Thanks!" I, 27
Desire
& Sexual Presence
"I've done therapy before and by far the most useful that I've done. All I can say is thank you." S, 39
Pleasure
& Self-Discovery
“Now it's my turn to have fun with sex.
"The biggest deal for me was to talk to someone because I’ve never opened up about sex and intimacy and see through all the work we did…WOW people actually have fun with sex…
I never asked myself what would I like to have...I will continue keeping myself to that standard.” M-A, 39
Pleasure
& Self-Discovery
"If I didn't sit down with your help and do the exercises, I would still be stuck.”
"I wasn't brave enough with myself to say: "this is what I want, this is who I am". I felt completely lost. This is the time for me to find myself.
Now I see the direction I want to stick to. Now I learned to focus on what I truly want and I see the results. I feel accomplished.” R, 44
Sexual Anxiety
"I've done therapy before and by far the most useful that I've done. All I can say is thank you." S, 39
Sexual Anxiety & Orgasm
"Our sessions were massively helpful.”
I had major anxiety around intimacy and would always feel like a failure. It's always been engrained in me. I now understand myself more and how to pay attention to my 'breaks'.
I just feel much more normal and I'm able to come back to the moment when I get distracted during sex. Money well spent and exactly what I needed!" C, 36
Desire & Performance Anxiety (ED)
"My arousal issues were always a problem.
I was struggling with a fetish and everything needing to be 'just right' during intimacy to get an erection. Working with you (even if my wife wasn't in the sessions) helped me broaden my scope of arousal. Thank you." R, 39
Performance Anxiety (ED)
It was a relief that I could talk to a sexologist like Isabelle about it. I realised it wasn’t anything wrong with me physically but actually it was mental blocks that I had put up years ago. During the programme I had about 3 or 4 breakthroughs,
I suddenly felt lighter and now understood what was going on. My girlfriend and I are having great sex again and I’m not worried about it any more.” - C, 29
Pain During Intercourse
"For years, I struggled with getting turned on and reaching orgasm. I would get stuck in my head, worrying about whether I was ‘doing it right’ or if my body was supposed to react a certain way. I was frustrated, disconnected, and ashamed.
Isabelle helped me understand my body, let go of performance pressure, and shift my focus from ‘achieving’ orgasm to actually feeling pleasure. I learned how to tune into sensation, build arousal naturally, and trust my body’s response.
For the first time, I feel present, connected, and able to fully enjoy intimacy without self-judgment. And yes—orgasms finally feel natural instead of something I have to force. This journey has been life-changing, and I only wish I had done it sooner." V, 42
Overthinking & Letting Go
"I used to be stuck in my head during sex, overanalyzing everything and struggling to relax. Working with Isabelle helped me let go of the pressure, trust my body, and actually enjoy the moment. Now, I feel present, connected, and free to experience pleasure without overthinking." L., 38
Sexual Orientation & Fantasies
"I felt so confused about my fantasies and what they meant about my sexuality. Isabelle created a safe space for me to explore without shame, helping me understand my desires without judgment. I now feel more confident and at peace with who I am." J, 27
Sexual Anxiety & Orgasm
"When I started, my anxiety was high and unmanageable.”
My negative thoughts were out of control. I can't tell you enough how over my programme I learned so much from you.
I learned tools I would never have known about. You're so kind and compassionate and I feel really empowered to cope with my stress and anxious thoughts ” A, 31
Pleasure & Intimacy
"I now understand my own right as a person to have pleasure.
It's been really good to learn and to realise that pleasure and intimacy is a healthy normal and part of being human. I never really felt that until now and I've let go of beliefs that were getting in my way” J, 47
Performance Anxiety (ED)
“I never thought that my wife and I would have sex again.”
“Since the birth of our second child, we felt as if we drifted apart due to stress and having no time together. Isabelle helped bring us together again and remind us of how much we enjoyed being intimate. Now we are having regular sex feeling great.” C, 38
Sexual Anxiety
& Orgasm
Before I started working with Isabelle I had never had an orgasm, had a lot of unresolved trauma from sexual assault and different past partners that I learned to shove so far back in my mind that it was devouring me from the inside and ruining my life. I had never been able to enjoy sex, and I would often cry and be upset after having sex (I now know it's because I was triggered). I was so disconnected from my body that I wouldn't even look at myself, I thought my body was broken and was pretty depressed because of it.
Isabelle is a very calming and non judgmental person to speak to and together we worked hard on dealing with all the trauma and the huge amount of shame around sex that I didn't even know I was carrying. This was the first crucial step towards reconnecting with my body, and I will never forget the session we had when I told her through tears of joy that I'd felt sexual pleasure for the first time in my life, and my body wasn't broken.
I now feel a lot more in tune with myself (and can have multiple orgasms!) and even when I don't, I feel like I have the tools to deal with it better and I can keep learning about my body.
Isabelle quite literally changed my life and I'll be forever grateful to her, and to past me who decided to take the first step and go on this journey. C, 28
Pain During Intercourse & Intimacy
“Isabelle was great to work with! She’s a very good listener. I struggled with intimacy issues. She helped me unblock issues that I didn’t even know existed. She helped me realize that I’m enough and I’m beautiful without needing for further validation. Her sessions always ended with something more to think about.
I definitely feel lighter and more accepting of my sexual energy after my sessions with her!” V, 27
Pain During Intercourse & Orgasm
I had struggled with extreme pain for about 10 years with penetrative sex. I don’t think I had one experience during that ten years were I didn’t have quite a lot of pain.
I had low self esteem about my ‘performance’ in bed, a feeling I was doing everything wrong and had never orgasmed with anyone as I simply could not get out of my head!
I felt I couldn’t talk to a partner or a friend about this in fear of what they might think to this and also couldn’t express what I wanted in bed so hardly ever enjoyed sex.
Isabelle provided me with a combination of strategies through one to one sessions and exercises for me to take home. This included understanding me as a person, exercises to understand how I felt and thought about myself, mindfulness tapes, hypnotherapy, and pelvic floor exercises as well as re positioning my thoughts about me as a person and sex.
As a result of my 1:1 sessions and keeping up with the strategies Isabelle provided me, has let me express my desires and wants to a partner, I now have sex free pain and have finally in the first time in my life orgasmed with a partner. I can tell when I haven’t kept up with my exercises as I don’t orgasm - which shows the power of what Isabelle has provided me with!
Fundamentally, my sex life has been the best it has ever had. I never thought I would ever have pain free sex, ever orgasm or ever feel free enough to express what I wanted.
I could never have done that without Isabelle. And whilst I still have work to continue to improve all of this, Isabelle has changed my life!" R, 36
Pleasure & Sexual Anxiety
I just wanted to write to you and let you know that the work we did together has had such a wonderfully positive influence on my life and I am truly grateful to you.
I've managed to have some really positive intimate engagements since we last spoke, something I previously thought impossible. I praise everything that I somehow managed to seek you out and do this work, I'm so pleased to be in place where I can enjoy sexual relations and feel comfortable and at ease in a loving and tactile relationship. It's been a magical coincidence that it's all aligned at the same time.
Should anything go awry again I know who to turn to and I've passed on your details to a few friends already.
Thanks again Isabelle, I'm eternally grateful and in your debt! You are a healing presence on this planet, we're lucky to have you. S, 29
Awaken Desire Course
“I used to never be in the mood and now I actually initiate.
I really had lost hope because it had been so long and I wish I knew all this stuff years ago. it would have avoided a lot of arguments with my husband!
The course was so easy to follow and the strategies were great. I did invest time doing all the exercises but it was worth it.” A, 27
Desire & Sexual
Presence
“We unlocked so much stuff. It was mind-blowing.”
"I’ve been feeling really good since then and it was also strange to realise that so many things in life affect sexuality.
Isabelle was able to answer all my questions and that really reassured me. I needed to understand that I’m okay and I'm not broken.” E, 46

Desire &
Sexual Presence
“I already feel my desire coming back.
“I called Isabelle because I completely lost my libido and I’m about to get married. I felt so guilty and had no idea what was going on. After about 5 sessions I really got it.
I started putting everything I became aware of into practice and I actually want to initiate being intimate now. I just had to find the way that worked for me.”, H, 41
Desire &
Sexual Presence
“Isabelle’s organic and practical approach really worked for me”
“I’ve been to therapy before and the constant probing made me want to shut down. But with Isabelle, it was just like having a conversation, being asked the right questions and finding solutions moving forward.
We also had a good laugh! It really helped to keep things light and I realised I was making things way too serious and actually it really helped with my improvement. Thank you!” D, 35
Orgasm & Pleasure
“I had my first orgasm after 50 years, in the midst of menopause.
“I’m honestly shocked. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out this long. In less than 6 sessions I had my first ever orgasm.
Isabelle has been amazing in finding myself sexually and I’m really starting to get rid of my mental blocks. It’s never too late for change!”, K, 53
Awaken Desire Course
“I had the best sex with my husband last week!”
I started Isabelle’s desire programme because I wasn’t enjoying sex at all and I got to a point that I was avoiding physical touch altogether. I realised throughout the therapy sessions that I was holding a lot in.
The biggest win for me was learning what I liked and didn’t like in bed and how to talk about it to my partner. It was like a release when I had the courage to open up and it changed everything. We’re both so in sync now.” M, 30
Awaken Desire Course
“I’m finally out of my head and my sex drive is back.
The Awaken Desire course was exactly what I needed! I was so much in my head before that I couldn’t enjoy sex at all. I learned to be more into my body and reconnect. I felt kind of helpless before. With the videos and exercises, now I understand why I didn’t feel like having sex anymore but the best part was putting things into practice and feeling like there were things I could actually do to help me feel like having sex again.
That really helped me and my relationship. I don’t feel anxious about disappointing my partner anymore which is amazing.” R, 37

Pain During Intercourse & Pleasure
“I am amazed about how quickly I started to see changes…
“I was diagnosed with vaginismus years ago. I tried to solve it on my own but could only go so far. I was so comfortable speaking to Isabelle during our consultation and booked the 12 session plan. After only five sessions and doing the homework in between,
I started seeing a major difference in myself, the way I think and my anxiety around sex was already disappearing. Couldn’t be more grateful.” - F, 31
Sexual Avoidance
“Isabelle helped me to be unapologetic for who I am and I feel free.
I felt lost sexually, in my body and in my relationships. I thought something was wrong with me and this therapy has really helped me get to where I wanted to be.
Isabelle made me feel comfortable as of the first session. I'm now more open and confident with myself, in who I am. I was able to let go of past traumas, understand how I should be treated, what I needed and what I want. It's been so insightful and I couldn’t have done it without Isabelle’s guidance and support.” - I, 23

Couples Testimonials
Performance Anxiety (ED) & Confidence
"When we first came to Isabelle to discuss the intimacy issues in our relationship we really weren’t sure what to expect.From the first couples session, she created a safe and supportive space where we could openly explore our challenges.Through her guidance, we’ve gained a much deeper understanding of the reasons behind our struggles and, most importantly, have learned how to communicate our needs in a healthier, more constructive way. Thanks to Isabelle, we’ve grown so much as a couple and feel closer than ever. We are truly grateful for her support and expertise." H&D, 30s
Libido, Communication & Connection
"After suffering burnout and struggling with my mental health, I lost my libido and became disconnected from intimacy. It was a difficult time in my relationship, and we turned to sex therapy as a last resort.
From the outset, Isabelle was patient and kind, listening to both of us individually and helping us reconnect. Through her guidance, I’ve had major breakthroughs—getting comfortable with sexuality, being present during sex, setting boundaries, and communicating my needs.
We've learned the importance of communication, building connection, and understanding how our personalities and upbringing shape intimacy. While we could have ended our sessions much earlier, even after three years, we chose to continue to benefit from Isabelle’s insights monthly to help us stay aligned and won’t be stopping anytime soon." R&D, 30s
Desire & Pleasure

Performance Anxiety (ED) & Confidence
“Our relationship is so much stronger. Thank you so much! We came into these sessions as a last resort after trying to fix things for years.

Pleasure & Pain During Intercourse
"Isabelle really has been a blessing to myself and my husband. At the time we reached out to Isabelle, I felt disillusioned about sex and had almost given up on the need to feel pleasure when I had sex. Most importantly there was a strain on our marriage because of all the pressure to perform etc with sex and I had started to prioritise sex mainly as a measure to have kids- without actually wanting to enjoy it with my husband
Coming into the sessions, I wanted to discover new ways to connect with my husband, to be more mentally present and connect during sex, and to actually enjoy and look forward to sex again – all of which I am really happy to say I experience thanks to our sessions with Isabelle. My mindset is so different now in terms of how I approach sex, through the resources with Isabelle I have a much better understanding around my body, feelings, desire and also from my husband’s perspective.
Isabelle is extremely relatable. It was so easy to open up to her- talking to her felt like talking to a friend. I remember our first session, both myself and my husband noticed how easy it was to talk to Isabelle, she listened carefully, offered a non judgmental tone and genuinely seemed excited to help us. We couldn’t wait to get started! After that, all sessions with her pushed us in a positive direction, and we started to look forward to our counselling sessions. She created a safe space that allowed my husband and I to talk through things- no matter how difficult – we got it out through her session and walked away with practical tips to deal with the difficulty.
Isabelle’s sessions have completely transformed my sex life with my husband and my husband and I are so grateful for the investment into her sessions . It is totally worth the investment and would highly recommend Isabelle to anyone that’s struggling with their relationship!" D & T, 32
Mismatched Libido & Pleasure
Mismatched Libido & Pleasure
“After 20 years together, we’re finally having amazing sex!
“We’ve been together so long, and it’s always been so awkward in the bedroom that I honestly thought it was hopeless.
We still have so much to explore but after only six sessions, it was like a different world. We should have done this much sooner!”, I & J, (46 & 52)
Mismatched Libido & Communication
“We were able to reconnect after 10 years of misalignment
Although we still loved each other, we were almost at a point of separation and talked about therapy for years but we finally had the courage to do it. In 12 sessions, Isabelle really helped us to understand each other and communicate better and we both feel we’re finally a team and a couple again.
We had a mix of couples and individual sessions and Isabelle gave us the tools we needed to move forward even after therapy ended.” - D&I (42 & 45)
Mismatched Libido After Children
"After having kids, our intimacy completely changed. I lost my desire, while my partner still wanted a regular sex life, which led to frustration and distance between us. We felt stuck and didn’t know how to bridge the gap.
Working with Isabelle gave us the tools to reconnect without pressure.
We learned how to communicate our needs, rebuild intimacy in ways that felt good for both of us, and understand the deeper reasons behind our mismatch. Now, we feel closer than ever, and sex feels like a shared experience again rather than a source of stress." S. & R., 30s
Emotional Connection
"After 7 years we became great co-parents but lost the emotional and physical closeness. I felt disconnected, and intimacy started to feel like a chore.
We learned how to nurture emotional intimacy again, small moments of connection, affection, and understanding that made a huge difference. A
s we rebuilt our bond, desire followed naturally. Now, we feel like partners again, not just parents." M. & J, (35 & 37)
Mismatched Libido & Communication
Talking about sex used to feel impossible. My partner wanted it more, and I avoided the conversation out of guilt and frustration. Every discussion ended in misunderstanding or hurt feelings.
Now, we know how to communicate openly about intimacy without blame, pressure, or shutting down. Understanding each other’s needs changed everything. Now, we approach our sex life as a team rather than feeling like we’re on opposite sides. Thank you." K. & T., 40s
