ABOUT LEA HOLZFURTNER

Lea is a clinical sexologist with an academic background in psychology and certified training in sexological methods. Her work is grounded in scientific models from sexual research, such as the Dual Control Model and Arousal Non-Concordance, sexological learning frameworks, classic exercises like Sensate Focus, and modern tools from communication psychology.As an MBA, Lea works not only in a shame-free and empathetic way, but also with a clear and structured approach to coaching. After an in-depth assessment, which includes not only clinical screening but also exploring a client’s personal “sexual history”, Lea works together with clients to identify the obstacles standing in the way of their goals. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for sexual concerns. She collaborates with clients to develop an individual strategy and home exercises, while filling knowledge gaps around human sexuality, desire, and anatomy. Lea works according to the principles of clinical sexology and modern coaching ethics. Her practice is kink and queer-informed. Lea’s evidence based sex coaching is fully talk-based (with no physical touch) and combines psychoeducation, intimacy exercises and communication training, which makes it a specifically efficient approach when the challenges are primarily related to learning, habits, or communication- rather than traumatic or clinical in nature.Next to her clinical work in her private practice, lea has authored her first book \"Dein Orgasmus\", hosted two seasons of the podcast \"Berlin Intim\", produced the audio course \"Besser Kommen\", writes a bi-monthly column and is a frequent speaker and interview partner for brands (such as Amorelie, Eis.de, Bumble, Joyclub, etc.) and traditional media alike. She is a trusted expert and regularly gets featured in DerSpiegel, Stern, Brigitte, Bild, Emotion and Watson amongst others.
