CUCUMBER: Relationships & Sex Therapy

About

At CUCUMBER, we do therapy differently.

CUCUMBER is a therapeutic clinic that focuses on emotional processing, attachment theory, and trauma processing. All in the context of supporting clients to feel their feelings and be comfortable, safe, and attuned with themselves and their loved ones.

Emma is a psychotherapist, couples counsellor, and sexologist dedicated to providing therapy that can be playful, cathartic, affirming, and enlightening all at once.

She frequently sees clients in her office who are stuck in patterns of overthinking and emotional avoidance or overwhelm. She works with an experiential approach so you won’t just learn more about yourself or your relationships, you will be able to experience a new and more honest version of yourself in session.

Clients come to CUCUMBER to address:

• perfectionism and self-criticism
• pressure and fear in relationships and sex
• childhood neglect and abuse (including sexual)
• chronic anxiety and depression
• sexual distress
• porn addiction and sex addiction
• sexual dysfunction
• infidelity
• miscommunication in loving relationships

Many of CUCUMBER’s clients are:

• Ethically non-monogamous
• Neurodiverse (ADHD and/or Autistic)
• LGBTQIA+

Psychotherapy with Emma targets the underlying cause of client’s distress – not just symptom reduction. Emma specialises in experiential therapies that support real-time processing of emotions that hold people back: shame, loneliness, and fear. She also works with the latest science concerning trauma’s impact on the brain, nervous system and attachment.

Psychotherapy modalities utilised includes:

• Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work
• Polyvagal Theory
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Somatic Psychotherapy
• Feminist Therapy

Emma offers a free 15 minute consultation call to see if she is the right fit for you.
