About Sueli
Sueli Montilha is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety and depression. She draws on a background in psychosexual therapy and low-intensity psychological support to address relationship, intimacy and trauma-related concerns. Sueli communicates plainly and aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow.
Sueli has six years of professional experience in the charity sector and the NHS. Her training includes an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a Certificate in Counselling Children from CPCAB, a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions and an MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy, achieved with distinction.
Background and approach
She uses that mix of skills to work with common mental health issues and more complex trauma. Her work often focuses on sexual wellbeing and sexual dysfunction, including problems with desire, arousal, pain during sex and orgasm difficulties. She also helps people navigate relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns and the emotional impact of separation or infidelity.
Parenting strain, grief, career pressure and compassion fatigue are other areas she addresses. Sueli brings a multicultural perspective from living in several countries and is GSRD aware - she supports people across genders, sexualities and relationship structures. She applies a bio-psychosocial viewpoint, looking at biological, psychological and social factors that affect wellbeing.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical, with space to talk through feelings, identify small changes and try new ways of coping. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short matching process and then schedule appointments that suit their needs.

Online support
She also uses psychosexual therapy principles to address sexual wellbeing and intimacy issues. This involves clear, structured conversations about sexual function, desire and communication, and practical exercises to try between sessions. For trauma-related concerns she looks at the interplay of past events, current symptoms and relationships to help people restore a sense of balance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try techniques collaboratively. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as needed to fit each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing thought processing between appointments. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
