Biography

Hello, I’m Gianluca, I work with individuals and couples who may be feeling distressed, stuck or uncertain about their sexual lives or relationships. This might involve difficulties with desire, performance anxiety, intimacy, communication, shame, or navigating changes within a relationship.

I am a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist (RegCOSRT) with over 10 years’ experience in sexual health and relational wellbeing, including work within NHS services and specialist therapeutic settings.

Alongside my psychosexual training, I bring extensive frontline experience supporting people with complex and sensitive issues in a way that is non-judgemental, affirming and grounded in real-world understanding. I know how difficult it can feel to talk about sex or relationships, and my aim is to offer a space where you feel safe, respected and understood.

 

I am currently completing the Advanced Diploma in Relationship Psychotherapy, which further deepens my work with attachment, couple dynamics and relational processes.
