Rea Shahroudi

I bring both professional training and genuine understanding of intimacy and relationship complexity to my work. Having navigated my own journey through intimacy and connection, I approach therapy with deep compassion, curiosity, and a belief that with an open mind for growth, transformation is possible.

I understand how relationships can become stuck in patterns we didn’t consciously choose. Drawing on attachment theory and an integrative approach, I help individuals and couples recognise these cycles and create new possibilities for connection. I work relationally, which means the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space where you can explore patterns, experience being truly heard, and discover new ways of relating.

Having lived across different countries and cultures, I bring nuanced multicultural sensitivity to my practice. I recognise how professional demands, life transitions, and the many roles we hold – whether navigating parenthood, moving through bodily changes, or balancing career pressures – can impact our intimate relationships. I am committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space for all genders, sexualities, relationship structures, and identities.

My approach weaves together mindfulness, the mind-body connection, tapping (EFT), and principles from NLP coaching alongside psychosexual and relationship therapy. I am interested in spirituality and how this informs our capacity for intimacy and connection. With experience across NHS services and the charity sector, I am currently in private practice and continuing training in Advanced Diploma in Relationship Psychotherapy.
