I'm Selina Nguyen (she/they) and I'm a clinical sex and relationship therapist and founder of Come Back to Bed. Come Back to Bed is a virtual therapy practice offering online sessions across Australia and worldwide (exceptions of US and Canada).
I've spent years studying the science and the art of good relationships and good sex. I work with folks from many different walks of life, yet all who feel stuck in their relationship, their bodies or sex lives in some way and often wondering "how did we even get here?" or "is it even possible to work through this?". This ranges from folks new in their therapy journey, folks who have just never found the right fit, and folks who have been doing therapy for years but haven't had the space to talk about sex.
I believe in the healing power of connection, and the need for us to learn how to be good romantic and sexual partners, whether that be learning how to navigate vulnerable conversations, creating new patterns, getting out of our heads and into our bodies, prioritising our sexual selves and more.
With qualifications in psychology, sociology, family and relationship counselling, and psychosexual therapy, I provide the intersection of current research, clinical expertise and life experience. I also get to playfully interweave this with my further explorations and trainings in the worlds of disability, non-monogamy, relational somatics and tantric massage.
Values and identities include:
-
The lenses through which I see the world and my practice is influenced by being Asian-Australian, queer, feminist and a cisgender woman living without disability.
-
I aim to be transparent in all that I do, and I work from a relational, non-pathologising and trauma-informed approach.
-
Anchored in somatic, queer and intersectional theories, I believe in empowerment through education, pleasure and connection.
