Sex & Intimacy Counselling for Couples
Heal and Rediscover Desire
Julie Tenner is a trauma-responsive therapist offering specialised counselling for individuals and couples on relationship, marriage, communication, sexuality and connection.
Are you ready to experience a relationship that feels alive, intimate, and deeply connected?
Do you long to feel truly seen and desired by your partner?
To experience more fulfilling intimacy, better communication, and a sense of ease together?
It’s totally normal for the ups and downs of life—whether from past experiences or just everyday stress—to create distance in even the closest relationships.
If you and your partner are ready to spark that connection again, feel more passionate, or bring a fresh energy into your intimacy, I’m here to support you on that journey.
My approach to sex and intimacy counselling blends somatic practices with tantra-inspired techniques, helping you both release the emotional and physical blocks that might be getting in the way of true closeness.
For couples carrying unresolved past experiences, I offer a safe, trauma-informed space to heal and move forward together, so you can build a foundation of trust, desire, and deep connection.
Julie, once again, expertly provided a balance of levity and sincerity to allow a flow of openness and safety between my wife and I. she made us feel comfortable, exploring difficult topics to reconnect and find that spark again.

Who is this for?
This is for couples who love each other but feel like something’s missing. If your relationship feels more like a partnership in managing life than a passionate connection, this is for you. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected, caught up in routines, or avoiding intimacy, and you’re ready for a change.
It’s for you if:
-
You’re craving more touch, daily moments of connection, and smoother, more natural expressions of desire and romantic initiation.
-
You want to feel valued and pursued by your partner, and you’re longing for intimacy that feels authentic, fulfilling, and exciting.
-
You struggle to ask for what you need, tune into your body, and truly receive pleasure without feeling blocked or self-conscious.
-
You’re tired of the “roommate” dynamic and want to bring back the desire, playfulness, and genuine closeness that make a relationship feel alive.
-
You’re both ready to show up, try new approaches, and create time to invest in each other, outside of daily routines.
-
You’re open to honest conversations and willing to move through personal discomfort to find a deeper connection together.
-
You want a safe, supportive space to explore and release the beliefs or habits that might be holding you back from real intimacy.
This counselling isn’t a 'quick fix.' It’s for couples ready to dive in, put in the work, and create real connection. If you’re both willing to break through old habits and limiting beliefs, we’ll build a partnership that’s vibrant, intimate, and full of possibilities."
