About Sueli
Sueli Montilha is a psychosexual counsellor who blends practical therapies with a focus on sexual wellbeing. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and draws on a multicultural background to relate to people from different cultures.
Sueli trained in contemporary psychosexual therapy and completed postgraduate study in low intensity psychological interventions. She has also gained counselling qualifications that include work with children, though her practice centres on adult clients.
How Sueli works
Her earlier roles were in the charity sector and the NHS, which shaped her experience with a wide range of concerns. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression and difficult life changes. Relationship and intimacy issues are a central part of her work, including sexual dysfunction, desire and arousal concerns, and the impact of trauma on sex and connection.
She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, career pressure, anger and low self-esteem. Sueli has particular experience with trauma and abuse, including complex and sexual trauma, and is aware of gender, sex and relationship diversity. She works from a bio-psychosocial framework, so conversations look at feelings, relationships and practical life circumstances together.
Sessions use a steady, collaborative style where practical steps and talking are combined. People can expect a respectful, nonjudgemental space to talk through worries and to try new ways of coping and relating. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their life.

Online support options
How psychosexual and trauma-informed approaches work online
Sueli uses evidence-based psychosexual methods which focus on sexual function, desire and relationship dynamics. These approaches involve talking about patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and learning practical skills to improve intimacy and reduce sexual distress.She also draws on trauma-informed techniques that help people manage the effects of past abuse and complex trauma. These methods prioritise pacing, grounding and coping tools that reduce overwhelm while exploring painful memories and their impact on relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sueli will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative, so plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on low-data connections, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
