About Sueli

Sueli Montilha works from an evidence-based, psychosexual and psychotherapeutic perspective to help people manage emotional pain and relationship concerns. She blends practical strategies with a clear, compassionate style so clients can take small steps toward feeling better. Sueli uses a bio-psychosocial outlook that looks at mind, body and context together.

She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. Sueli has six years of professional experience and a background in the charity sector and the NHS.

Background and approach

That work included supporting children, young people and adults across a range of difficulties. Her training includes a Master of Science in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy achieved with distinction, a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions, an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a CPCAB Certificate in Counselling Children. She also holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

People typically bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship problems and intimacy-related issues. Sueli also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, family of origin problems, divorce and separation, and complexities around kink and alternative sex culture.

Sessions can address sexual wellbeing and dysfunction, questions about gender, sex and relationship diversity, and the strain that comes with caregiving or compassion fatigue. She is experienced supporting people through immigration-related stresses, isolation or loneliness, and career and self-esteem concerns. Sueli aims to make therapy practical and collaborative.

She helps clients identify small, achievable steps and practices to try between sessions. That approach is intended to make progress feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sueli uses psychosexual therapy to address sexual wellbeing and dysfunction in straightforward terms. This approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and physical responses interact and helps people build skills to manage arousal, desire and sexual pain concerns.

She also draws on psychotherapeutic work rooted in a bio-psychosocial framework. That means sessions consider biological factors, personal history and current life context when making a plan. This approach is useful for trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and invite the client to choose what feels most helpful. Together they will set goals and adjust methods based on needs, progress and preferences in an open, collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging suit quick reflections, brief updates and people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
