About Sueli

Sueli Montilha uses a practical, evidence-informed approach to help people navigate difficult feelings and relationship challenges. She draws on psychosexual therapy knowledge and low-intensity psychological interventions to offer clear, step-by-step support. Sueli works from a bio-psychosocial perspective, so she considers thoughts, body responses and life circumstances together.

She has six years of experience working in the charity sector and the NHS. That background means she is familiar with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression and complex trauma such as sexual trauma. She also helps people facing relationship tensions, sexual wellbeing issues and problems around desire or performance.

Sueli brings a multicultural outlook to her practice, having lived in several countries and working with people from diverse backgrounds. She is GSRD aware, which means she understands Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity and supports a range of relationship types and sexual identities. This informs how she talks about identity and intimacy in sessions.

In practical terms she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Sueli's availability. Her work focuses on helping people build coping skills, improve communication and address sexual and emotional concerns with straightforward guidance.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Sueli

Sueli uses psychosexual therapy to look directly at sexual wellbeing and intimacy concerns. This approach helps people understand physical responses, sexual function and relationship patterns, and it can be useful for issues such as low desire, pain during sex or orgasms that are difficult to reach.

She also uses low-intensity psychological interventions which provide brief, structured techniques to manage anxiety, depression and stress. These techniques often include practical coping strategies and manageable behavioural steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's situation. This collaborative process helps choose whether to focus on short-term skills, deeper relational work or a mixture of both.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility and a consistent way to continue therapy across weeks.
