Paul Cerigo

Paul Cerigo is a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and is a member of COSRT. Paul is currently working towards their Diploma at CICS: Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology. Paul works within the Awareness Centre’s low-cost counselling service at the Tooting branch.

Paul works with both individuals and couples/relationships of all sexualities. They offer a pluralistic person-centred approach within a warm, kind and safe place to explore deep intimate feelings. Integrating a biopsychosocial model, Paul sees therapy as a collaborative and creative process to allow for genuine empathy and creative thinking. Paul makes no assumptions. Their aim is to work respectfully with people of diverse backgrounds, acknowledging their core beliefs, and their unique social and cultural aspects that relate to their relationships and sex life.  Paul works with a focus on ‘erotic intelligence’ working with issues that come up within relationship to yourself and your relationships with others: sex life, sexuality, gender diversity, models of relationships.

Paul has a homeopathic mental health consultancy.  They are trained in humanistic counselling, dance movement therapy, and mindfulness yoga practices. Paul offers a unique approach to help individuals and couples integrate the delicate balance of body mind soul/spirit and sexuality on the journey to unlocking new, healthier and pleasurable ways of living. Through exploring both desire as a productive creative energy, and intimacy- ‘into me see’-we can find connection. Paul respects that connection and contact with the self and the other, has potential for inner knowledge of the authentic self.

Paul has been working the last 10 years on front line community mental health services in London as a Support Worker. As someone who has worked extensively with individuals facing mental health challenges, Paul has developed an excellent empathic understanding of their needs, concerns, and challenges, particularly those due to trauma, shame, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, homelessness, poverty, isolation, racism, discrimination, stigma.
