About Sueli

Sueli Montilha is a psychosexual therapist and counsellor who brings a trauma-aware lens to her practice. She holds a Master of Science in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy and professional diplomas in psychotherapeutic counselling. Sueli draws on six years of practice in the charity sector and the NHS to support people facing a range of emotional and relational difficulties.

She helps people affected by trauma and abuse, and by common mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns about intimacy and sexual wellbeing, including difficulties with desire, arousal, orgasm and painful intercourse. Relationship and communication problems are a common focus in sessions. Sueli frames her work using a bio-psychosocial perspective, which considers biological, psychological and social factors together.

She is aware of Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity and uses that awareness to support people of different genders, sexualities and relationship structures. Her multicultural background informs how she tailors care for people from varied backgrounds.

Her earlier qualifications include an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a Certificate in Counselling Children from CPCAB, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions. She completed the MSc with distinction and uses this training to address sexual health and relationship difficulties. Sessions aim to help people build coping skills, improve communication and process distressing experiences.

Sueli offers meetings by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose formats that fit their lives.

Approaches for trauma, intimacy and relationships online

Many of Sueli's sessions draw on structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. These approaches help people manage anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying unhelpful patterns and practising new ways of coping. She also uses focused work for sexual wellbeing that looks at physical, emotional and relational factors behind difficulties such as low desire or pain during intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sueli works collaboratively to agree what to try first and checks in as therapy progresses. Together the therapist and client review what helps most and adjust goals and methods to match needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between longer conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life.
