About Sensate Therapy

Sensate Therapy is a relationship and sex therapy practice founded by Jodie Slee. We help couples and individuals with relationship difficulties, intimacy and sexual concerns, compulsive sexual behaviour, and the aftermath of affairs and betrayal, in Leeds, Doncaster and online across the UK.

We believe that difficulties with relationships and sex are often influenced by life experiences, attachment patterns and the nervous system. Our aim is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what's happening without judgement, reduce shame, and build greater understanding, confidence and connection.

Our approach

We work in a trauma-informed, relational and evidence-based way, drawing on attachment theory, neuroscience and psychosexual therapy. Therapy is tailored to you: sessions are collaborative, carefully paced and focused on creating safety before change.
