Claudia Hope - Certified Sex & Relationship Coach

Sex & Relationship Coaching

A somatic and experiential approach

ONLINE & IN-PERSON | CORNWALL

I’m a certified sex and relationship coach, skilled in helping people create joyful, meaningful relationships and truly fulfilling sex lives.  I work with single people and those in relationships, of all genders and orientation.

I offer inclusive, non-judgemental, trauma-aware spaces where individuals and couples can explore all aspects of intimacy, both sexual and emotional.

Guided by a deep respect for each person’s unique journey, my approach is grounded in decades of experience and training in embodiment and relational practices.

Whatever your intimacy challenges, I’m here to support you with curiosity, compassion and care.

Working with Claudia I’ve really tuned into my body and what it’s telling me, which is amazing… I’ve felt sexual desire again, which I thought I’d completely lost… I’m giving myself a lot of self-love and am feeling really good about me, which I haven’t felt in so long.

Relationships and sex are difficult for so many of us.

Claudia Hope - Supporting you with sex and relationship struggles

Whether you’re with a partner, single, or exploring new relationship structures, it can be tough. Past experiences, cultural messages and social conditioning all impact our sex and relationship lives today. Sexual shame is deeply embedded in our culture, blocking our full sexual expression. Life changes, menopause, health issues: all of this can affect how easy we find it to be in connection, with others and ourselves.

I’ve had my own struggles with both sex and relationships and I know how emotionally impactful it can be.  Often still taboo, many of us can feel deeply alone, not even sharing our sexual or emotional challenges with our friends.

Maybe you’ve taken courses and read books, tried different practices, even had some great therapy, but change is still elusive.  You might worry that you are broken and can’t be fixed.

It’s easy to feel like there’s something innately wrong with us – but there is a way through.

Relationships: Do you relate to any of these?

  • Repeating painful patterns over and over again, in spite of your best intentions

  • Communication that goes round and round in circles, never seeming to solve anything

  • Feeling lonely or disconnected, whether single or in relationship, wanting more closeness, but with no idea of how to change this

  • If dating, finding it excruciating; you’d love to feel more relaxed and make better choices

  • Experiencing frustration, or even despair, questioning if a relationship that works is possible for you

I’m recognising that even when we have disagreements..it doesn’t make either of us bad or wrong. It’s just different perspectives.

The process of practising boundaries and working with triggers has made a change in my relationships very quickly, that’s been huge. I now believe I can love people in different ways, and it can be nourishing rather than destructive or harmful…It’s empowering.

Learn to trust your ability to be in relationship – experiencing deeper intimacy.

Trust your ability to be in relationship.
  • Instead of feeling frustrated, misunderstood or distant, learn how to resolve issues with love and mutual understanding, so you can communicate more effectively, and are much more likely to be heard!

  • Rather than feeling trapped by repeating patterns gain greater understanding of yourself and your attachment style. Learn how to work with, rather than against, who you are, so you can create authentic and more easeful relationships.   

  • Instead of struggling with boundaries: saying yes when you mean no, or alternatively putting up walls, know what it feels like to honour what you want, so you can increase your sense of personal power and confidence

  • Rather than trying to work everything out in your head, experience an embodied awareness of your needs, and how to share them, so you can have deep, fulfilling and pleasurable connections, with yourself and others

Sexual fulfilment can feel out of reach – but it’s possible, and you’re not alone.

Sex: Do any of these resonate with you?

  • Wondering where you sex drive has gone, or if you ever had one

  • Being in a long -term relationship that has lost the ‘spark’, feeling more like housemates than lovers

  • Difficulty with orgasm, sexual function or finding yourself shutting down

  • Wanting different things from your partner and not knowing what to do about this

  • Feeling shame about your body; its size, shape, smell, or around your sexual ability or desires

I started off saying ‘I’m not getting much sensation, I’m not really connected’ and now I’ve had lots of that – sensation and connection, and it’s been great! Before I was feeling like I was missing something….I knew I wasn’t really getting what I needed but didn’t know how to identify that or how to change it. Now I can name and advocate for my sexual needs.

Experience your sexuality as a source of pleasure - know, deep inside, that you are far from broken.

  • Instead of feeling sadness or despair around your sexuality learn ways to connect with this part of you in a way that feels safe, going at a pace that is right for you. Find out what you really want and need, and how to share this with others.

  • Rather than feeling shut down develop a loving relationship with your body, celebrating its uniqueness, increasing intimacy with yourself and others

  • Instead of feeling frustrated and hopeless about the lack of sex in your relationship, or differences in desire, discover new ways to connect, communicate and ignite passion, creating a sex life that may surprise you!

  • Rather than being blocked by guilt or shame, develop greater self-acceptance and compassion, opening the doors to more pleasure so you can experience yourself as fully sexual and alive.

Develop greater self-acceptance

Supporting you in finding your power so that you can
create the relationships and sexual connection you long for.
This is the work I do.

Claudia Hope offers somatic and experiential coaching for sex and relationships

Let’s work together

My approach is somatic and experiential. This means that as well as talking, we explore exercises and tools which support deeper embodied connection, with yourself and others.

While quick fixes or cognitive understanding may provide temporary relief, I’ve seen over and over again that creating sustainable change comes from a non-judgemental, slow, body-based approach.

In sessions, either face to face or online, we create a relationship laboratory, where we explore intimacy safely together in real-time.  You get the chance to try things out and experience how things feel in your body, while in connection with another person. It’s not just discussing theory then going away to practice, hoping for the best.  We explore there and then, re-wiring pathways and discovering new ways of being.  Whether navigating boundaries, communication, pleasure or desire, it’s always at a pace that’s right for you.

Sessions are for individuals or couples, including those exploring ethical non-monogamy. I also offer workshops and events. An LGBTQ ally, I welcome people of all genders and orientation.

Coaching with Claudia’s given me a lot of inner strength and the belief that I’m a good person. That’s something I never thought I’d have… She very, very quickly gets to the core issue and intuitively knows what needs to be addressed…I’d definitely recommend it.

Anne - Production Manager


Claudia’s been brilliant! I wasn’t sure how working online would be and I’ve been really surprised. I wouldn’t have imagined we’d be able to do all the things we’ve done. It’s been really powerful.

Emily - Cranio-Sacral Therapist

I’m starting to feel more and more that it’s safe for me to be vulnerable, to express my emotions and be seen and heard… In sessions I can be myself and Claudia fully accepts it…How she holds space is completely non-judgemental and safe….All of it’s been brilliant.

Keren - Business Owner


The experiential aspect of the coaching has been an unexpected joy. I thought it would be really talky and heady, but this is much more of a body-based experience, which is what I’ve needed.
