Renata Paczkowska
I’m a psychosexual therapist, supporting individuals and couples with a wide range of sex, intimacy, and relationship-related challenges. My aim is to help you enhance pleasure, improve your sex life, and build more fulfilling relationships.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper factors behind the difficulties you’re experiencing. It’s common for feelings such as shame, guilt, or fear to arise around sex and intimacy, and I offer a safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental space where you can explore these experiences with compassion and curiosity.
I work with issues including:
- Performance anxiety
- Painful sex and vaginismus
- Difficulties with sexual desire, erections, or ejaculation
- Sexuality and gender expression
- Alternative sexual preferences
- Compulsive sexual behaviours
- And many other intimacy and relationship concerns
As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I also have experience supporting clients who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse. My approach combines sexology, evidence-based talking therapies, and somatic principles, helping you reconnect with your body and emotions in a grounded way.
I draw from elements of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) – a collaborative, active approach that helps uncover and process emotions that may have been avoided or suppressed. This work supports lasting change, increasing emotional awareness and balance, and fostering greater contentment and self-understanding.
Some of the areas I support clients in:
- Developing awareness of their personal needs and boundaries
- Enhancing communication and connection within relationships
- Restoring a healthy, embodied relationship with their body
- Working towards more satisfying relationships and a balanced, fulfilling life
