Verified

“When conversations turn into arguments, trust is shaken by infidelity, or sex and intimacy become sources of tension, I help individuals and couples understand their difficulties and find a way forward. As a psychotherapist specialising in relationships and psychosexual therapy, I combine warmth, psychological insight and practical guidance to support clearer communication, greater self-understanding and more fulfilling relationships.”

About me

I am Ramon Bennett, a psychotherapist and author of O Desejo Não Se Supõe, a book exploring desire and relationships. My professional background spans healthcare, human and medical sciences, and law, bringing a broad perspective to my understanding of people and their experiences. Having lived and worked in Britain and Brazil, I appreciate how culture, family expectations and belonging can shape our lives. I have a particular interest in the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including the pressures surrounding identity, acceptance and relationships. You can expect me to be personable, attentive and comfortable discussing sensitive subjects. I value a therapeutic relationship in which you feel respected as a person and understood in the context of your own life.

Approach

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful and direct. We begin by exploring what brings you to therapy, what you hope to change and what would make our work meaningful to you. During sessions, I help you examine the connections between your experiences, emotions and present-day responses. I ask questions, offer observations and help you consider different perspectives, while respecting your pace and readiness. In couples work, I pay attention to the interaction between you: how disagreements unfold, how each person seeks closeness and how both respond to hurt. We work towards expressing needs clearly, listening with greater understanding and responding differently when familiar tensions arise.

Services

I offer online therapy in English and Portuguese for adults, individuals and couples. Individual psychotherapy: Support with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, addiction, trauma, body image, life transitions and the emotional impact of separation or divorce. Couples therapy: A space to address communication difficulties, recurring conflict, infidelity and decisions about the future of your relationship. Psychosexual therapy: Focused support with desire, differences in libido, sexual confidence and difficulties with intimacy, available to individuals and couples. Addiction and chemsex: Compassionate support for people concerned about substance use, addictive behaviours or the role of drugs in their sexual lives. Together, we can explore how these experiences relate to pleasure, connection, loneliness or emotional distress, and their impact on your wellbeing and relationships. We work towards your goals, which may include reducing harm, changing patterns of use or supporting recovery. LGBTQ+ therapy: As a gay man, I bring personal understanding alongside professional insight to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, while recognising that each person’s experience is their own. Therapy can address coming out, family acceptance, discrimination, internalised shame and the pressures these experiences place on intimacy and belonging. In couples work, we can also explore relationship roles, monogamy, open relationships and sexual agreements, helping each partner express their needs and establish mutual understanding. An initial consultation offers an opportunity to discuss your concerns and consider how we might work together.
