Sueli Montilha offers practical, trauma-informed counselling grounded in psychosexual work and broader therapeutic practice. She uses everyday language and clear steps to help people manage anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and intimacy concerns. Sueli welcomes clients who want focused support for stress, grief, parenting pressures, sexual wellbeing, or help after abuse and other traumatic events.

She brings six years of experience working across the charity sector and the NHS. That background means she is used to supporting people at different stages of difficulty, from immediate coping to longer-term recovery.

Background and approach

Sueli follows a bio-psychosocial framework, so she looks at how biology, life circumstances and relationships all affect wellbeing. Her training includes an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a CPCAB Certificate in Counselling Children, a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions and an MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy, awarded with distinction. She is listed with BACP and NCPS.

Sueli works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, sexual dysfunction, intimacy-related issues, relationship problems and common mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, grief, migration and identity questions.

In sessions she aims to create a straightforward space for talking, learning practical coping skills and trying things that might help. She takes a culturally aware approach, informed by lived experience in different countries and an emphasis on gender, sex and relationship diversity.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based psychosexual therapy in Sueli's work focuses on sexual wellbeing and intimate concerns. This approach looks at how physical responses, beliefs and relationship patterns interact, and uses talking, exercises and practical strategies to improve desire, arousal and functioning.

A trauma-informed approach is another core strand. It involves pacing conversations, grounding techniques and coping strategies so people can work through past abuse or complex trauma without feeling overwhelmed. This is helpful for people dealing with dissociation, grief or the long-term effects of violence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal history and what feels comfortable, then adapt methods over time. Collaboration helps tailor sessions to changing needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, while letting people choose the format that best helps them engage.
