Zinnia Butler

My name is Nia Jane. I work with both individuals and intimate partners – including polyamorous relationships – where the primary concern is a sexual function or relationship issue.

Some of the most common reasons for attending psychosexual therapy might include unreliable erections, premature or delayed ejaculation, painful intercourse, difficulty achieving orgasm and loss of desire. Relationship issues that I can help with include desire discrepancy, conflict, communication difficulties and discernment. Perhaps there has been an affair or one partner feels betrayed, or you would like to explore a specific sexual interest such as a kink or fetish, or navigate opening up a previously monogamous relationship. However you do not have to be experiencing any specific difficulty to benefit from therapy – it can also simply provide a safe space to explore your sexuality and become more comfortable in your own body without any shame or judgement about how you feel and what you enjoy.

My therapeutic approach is progressive, relaxed and client-led – there is a thorough initial assessment which takes 1-2 sessions, where I will ask questions and hold space for you to talk about the issue and how it affects you. We’ll collaborate on a treatment plan – working at your pace, focusing on the things that matter to you. My style tends to lend itself to those who are new to therapy, who may feel apprehensive about attending or discussing intimate and personal details about themselves or the relationship, and those who have previously felt excluded from accessing therapy due to cost or because they have not found anyone who reflects their own working-class background or culture.

As well as my psychosexual therapy qualification, I also hold an MSc in Psychology and a BSc in Nursing, with almost 10yrs experience working in triage, surgery, gynaecology and urological nursing, as well as in contraception and sexual health. This makes me well positioned to help clients where sexual or relationship difficulties may be compounded by medical complexity, or who are interested in learning more about their body.

One of the most important factors in achieving a successful outcome in therapy is finding the right therapist for you. I offer a free 15min consultation via Zoom, so that we can make sure that we’re the right fit for each other and that I can fully meet your unique needs as a client. I believe therapy should be accessible to all and offer session prices on a sliding scale for those who meet certain criteria, including students, NHS/emergency services workers and individuals on a low income.
