Lina Milner
Psychosexual Therapist, Relationship Counsellor & Supervisor
Individuals £95
Couples £125
My name is Lina Milner, and I am an experienced relationship counsellor, psychosexual therapist, and clinical supervisor, registered with the BACP and COSRT.
My journey in therapy began in 2006 at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships. I furthered my expertise with a Master's in Relationship Therapy and a PGDip in Psychosexual Therapy from the Relate Institute. Additionally, I am trained as a clinical supervisor through The Grove Practice, offering supervision to both trainees and experienced counsellors across Relate National, NHS, and private practices. I also support people with returning to sexual functioning after cancer treatments, currently practicing as a psychosexual therapist with Royal Marsden Hospital.
I practice integrative therapy, drawing from various counselling approaches such as systemic, psychodynamic, and CBT. This allows me to tailor interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. By blending different psychological theories and research, integrative therapy offers a flexible and inclusive approach, accommodating the complexities of individual cases.
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy aims to help individuals understand the roots of their relationship distress or feelings of disconnection from their partner. If you are unhappy with a certain dynamic, we will explore its origins, triggers, and maintenance factors. Increased awareness of one’s behaviour, emotions, and thoughts lead to better control over responses in challenging situations. Couples can learn to recognise and manage tension, preventing escalation.​
Common issues addressed in relationship therapy include:
Relationship discord and recurrent arguments
Loss of trust
Feelings of loneliness
Affairs
Ending a relationship
Jealousy
Power and control issues
Becoming parents
Feeling distant from a partner
Impact of addictions
Retirement challenges
Neurodiversity and relationships
Emotional regulation during conflict
Chronic health conditions ad relationships
Cancer diagnosis and relationships
Relationship counselling helps both individuals and couples by examining past and present issues to foster positive change and deeper intimacy.

Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, or transgender, psychosexual therapy can help resolve issues in your sexual relationship. This service, often known as sex therapy, addresses a wide range of sexual concerns.
Common issues in sex therapy include:

Loss of desire or libido (HSDD)
Erectile difficulties (erectile dysfunction)
