Sueli has worked extensively with complex trauma, including sexual trauma, and with common mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression. She also supports people experiencing relationship and communication challenges and a variety of sexual wellbeing concerns, including erectile and ejaculatory difficulties, arousal or desire issues, painful intercourse and problems with orgasm. Her practice takes a bio-psychosocial perspective, considering biological, psychological and social factors when exploring difficulties.

Originally from Brazil, Sueli has lived in multiple countries and brings a multicultural lens to her work. She embeds intersectionality into her practice, is aware of Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and works with all genders, sexualities and relationship configurations including couples, throuples and other multiple partnered arrangements. She aims to support and empower clients as they work toward improved wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches for online psychosexual and trauma work

She brings contemporary psychosexual therapy to online sessions, a focused approach that explores sexual wellbeing, functioning and intimacy concerns through conversation, education and practical strategies to support change and understanding.

She also works with low intensity psychological interventions, which use structured, brief techniques such as guided self-help and behavioural experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build coping skills in manageable steps.

Alongside these, her practice is informed by trauma-aware and bio-psychosocial ways of working, which look at how biology, personal history and social context interact - this helps when addressing complex trauma, relationship difficulties and patterns rooted in early attachment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sueli works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques and pace suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Sueli is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These options make it easier to engage in regular sessions and to continue therapy around work, family and other commitments while working with a registered professional.
