Hello and Welcome
I'm Bonnie Bentley: Somatic Sexologist in Perth, Western Australia.
My approach to therapy is heart-centred and holistic. I believe our bodies are extremely intelligent, and that we can create lasting change in our lives by lovingly working with the mind and the body.
With degrees in Psychology and Sexology, along with advanced training in Breathwork, I am one of few practitioners qualified to offer counselling and somatic experiencing. My unique approach combines science with spirituality; drawing on the latest research, while also acknowledging that humans are complex energetic beings.
What is Somatic Sexology?
Somatic means "relating to the body."
Sexology is the study of human sexuality.
Somatic Sexology combines the most up-to-date research on psychology, trauma, and neuroscience with somatic experiencing techniques, such as breathwork.
This holistic approach works with the mind and body to support you in developing a deeper sense of peace and presence in your body and relationships.
