About Sensate Therapy
Sensate Therapy is a specialist counselling and psychotherapy practice providing trauma-informed support for individuals experiencing trauma, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, and emotional wellbeing concerns. We offer Trauma Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Psychosexual Therapy, Sex Therapy, Relationship Counselling, Couples Therapy, and support for Compulsive Sexual Behaviour.
Based in Leeds and Doncaster, and working online throughout the UK, our team understands that difficulties with trauma, relationships, intimacy and sexual wellbeing are often influenced by life experiences, attachment patterns and the nervous system.
Our aim is to provide a safe, compassionate and collaborative space where clients can explore difficulties without judgement, reduce shame and develop greater understanding, confidence and connection.
Our Approach
Our Approach
At Sensate Therapy, we take a trauma-informed, relational and evidence-based approach to therapy. We understand that many difficulties with trauma, relationships, sex and emotional wellbeing are adaptive responses to earlier experiences rather than personal failings.
Our work is informed by attachment theory, neuroscience and trauma-informed practice.

Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma can affect every aspect of life, including relationships, intimacy, sexuality, confidence and emotional wellbeing. Whether difficulties stem from childhood experiences, abuse, relationship betrayal, attachment wounds or other distressing life events, we work sensitively to help clients understand the connection between past experiences and present challenges.
For many clients, EMDR Therapy is central to processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact on daily life.
A Safe and Ethical Space
We are committed to providing therapy that is:
Confidential and private
Inclusive, affirming and respectful of diversity
Non-judgemental and shame-reducing
Trauma-informed and client-centred
Ethically grounded and professionally accountable
At Sensate Therapy, we believe that healing happens within safe and supportive relationships. Our role is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, improve intimacy and reconnect with what matters most to them.
