Events & ONLINE COURSES

Sexuality work doesn’t have to be intimidating! My workshops are a welcome & fun space to connect with others & for self-expansion.

I am available for private group bookings which can be fully bespoke.

PLEASURE HUB

Pleasure Hub is a fully online space where you can discover more about your sexual wellness & pleasure. Created in partnership with Knude Society, Pleasure Hub offers you the opportunity to explore, learn & feel, all in the privacy & comfort of your own home.

Launched in February 2024, we will be continuously developing what is on offer to bring you both extensive & holistic sex education.

OURGASM

No more 'shoulds': "I should behave this way", "I should enjoy this". It's time to find your authentic sexual voice & learn how to cultivate a fulfilling intimate life. No more tuning out of sex & touch you don't actually want, instead, learn to tune in.

This group takes the form of a women's circle; a safe place to explore & learn about your relationship with desire. We will enjoy the opportunity to share & to learn practices to shift your perspective on sex. These groups will be offered monthly & book up incredibly quickly. Follow me on Instagram (@emilykingtherapy) for first access.

PRIORITISING CONNECTION

Somatic therapy isn’t some kind of magic, nor is it for a specific type of person. It’s a bottom-up approach that fills the holes often left open from a top-down, purely psychological approach. Trying to deal with an issue in the mind is extremely difficult when it doesn’t exist there. What happens in the mind is symptomatic of what happens in the nervous system. We may gain new wonderful outlooks through talking but it can’t relieve the body’s experience nor help cycles of behaviour find completion. Acknowledging our issues is great, but we need to come into the body if we want to facilitate change. Sex happens in & through the body, so I invite you to work with it.

I work in a trauma-informed practice, taking an active yet gentle approach to support you to make safe progress. I work with clients who are seeking more than a place to offload. Working somatically means that I require clients to commit to the process of engaging with the nervous system to create a sense of healthy regulation to access confidence & autonomy.

If you’re looking for something completely integrated & tailored to your specific needs, 1:1 sessions are for you. It is important that you feel that I am the right fit for you, so I offer an initial free consultation to discuss how we could work together. This initial conversation can be done over video chat or phone-call. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Like all of my sessions, this is completely confidential.

Get in touch to book your initial consultation.

I work from my studio in Edinburgh for in person sessions & am available remotely.

    I offer both coaching & bodywork. Clients may choose to focus only on coaching, only on bodywork, or a combination of the two. Coaching sessions are typically 1 hour long, while bodywork requires at least 2 hours.

    Both coaching & bodywork sessions are available to couples.

    Touch therapy is offered to women only but directed touch is available for men with a female partner.

    External & internal vulva & vaginal bodywork is available on a one-off basis for those who do not require ongoing 1:1 sessions. This is non-erotic work, but rather contributes to healthy functioning of the pelvis through tension & emotional release.

Client Testimonials

  • “I never imagined I'd be someone who would see a sex therapist but after attending a workshop with Emily I knew immediately she was what I needed!! Working with Emily has been wonderful - I look forward to our sessions as the ultimate act of self-care, as well as getting deeper insights into myself in an hour than I have with 10x the number of sessions of "standard" therapy & counselling. Emily has an intuitive understanding of how to put people at ease, striking the perfect balance between challenge & comfort. Each session is perfectly pitched to the mood & circumstances in which I enter the studio & each time I come out feeling a mixture of peace & excitement. Truly magical! Emily follows up each session with a comprehensive email & is amazing at coming up with further reading, watching & "homework" (the good kind) so I feel like I'm constantly making progress even when there are long gaps between sessions. Thank you so much!”

  • “Working with Emily has been transformative. Her guidance helped me clarify my objectives, leading to significant discoveries about my relationship with sexuality & pleasure. I've gained a new perspective, fostering a deeper connection with myself & others. Her approach is both professional & compassionate, making this journey enlightening & truly rewarding. Thank you for your profound impact on my personal growth!”

  • “I've never had a therapist understand & hold space for me to the depth that Emily does. She prioritises your feeling of safety, from her calming studio space to her personalised understanding of your personal safety anchors when handling difficult subjects. I have come away from my sessions with not only a better understanding of what sexuality means to me & addressing difficult previous sexual experiences - but also how I can cultivate genuine, sustainable processes of feeling to help me navigate life & sensuality on my terms in the future. Genuine care is at the core of everything Emily does.”

  • “Emily has created a warm, welcoming space that prioritizes safety, comfort & celebrating growth. Her practice has provided me with the language & framework to reach my goals in a way no other form of therapy has before. She is so knowledgeable about body work & sexuality as well as how to apply these ways of thinking as a human walking through the world today. She understands the delicacy of somatic work & sex therapy & makes sure she understands your boundaries, where you are coming from & where you want to go in each session. I feel so encouraged & celebrated each time we meet. Emily has helped me reconnect to myself- both mind & body.”

  • “For the past few years I have been struggling with severe anxiety & trauma surrounding intimacy & sex. I’d been at such a standstill on my healing journey but after 2 sessions with Emily she has opened my mind so much. She has offered so much insight to help me find compassion & understanding to heal my relationship with myself & identify blockages that I hadn’t even realised were impacting me. Emily is so kind, gentle & knowledgeable. She provides a safe space to laugh cry & simply practice being my authentic self, without judgement. She is a breath of fresh air & my younger self is so grateful to be learning so much about being a glorious sexual being, that I never got to learn as a teen. Some of my discoveries have been hard as hell but I leave each session in awe of having broken through to parts of myself I have never gotten to know. Thank you Emily for introducing me to them.”

  • “The work I have done with Emily has been transformational. It has helped me let go & process so much of the shame I have been carrying & to explore myself & my body with more ease & comfort, which is something I’ve struggled with in the past. Emily is so open & vulnerable herself, she makes it really easy for you to feel safe enough to do the same. I feel such a connection with her & the way she works. Her direct but empathetic nature is the perfect balance, helping you to breathe through the tough stuff but also yelling, ‘FUUUCCCKKKK!!!’ if you need to. I have found joy & compassion for myself through the beautiful way she gives you the permission to be unapologetically you.”
