1-Day Intensive for Women
Online or in Axbridge, Somerset
One focused day, just for you. Understand what’s happened to your desire, and leave with a personalised 90-day plan to bring it back.
Have you lost your desire?
- Maybe you love your husband and feel safe with him, but somewhere along the way you stopped wanting sex.
- Maybe sex has become something you avoid, put off or dread, and you feel guilty about it.
- Maybe you’ve read the books, done my workbook and tried to feel like it, and you’re ready to go deeper.
Weekly sessions can feel slow when you want real change, and some of this is far easier to talk about without your husband in the room.
A 1-Day Intensive for Women gives you what weekly sessions can’t: a whole day, just you and me, to get to the heart of what’s happened to your desire and build a clear path back.
What’s an Intensive for Women
An intensive for women gives you dedicated time to work on your desire, your body and your marriage, without the usual gaps between weekly sessions.
Here, we use a full day to get straight to the heart of it, uncover what’s really getting in the way, and build a clear, practical plan to bring your desire back.
• Talk openly and honestly about sex, desire and your marriage, without judgement.
This approach allows you to make progress within hours that might otherwise take weeks or months. It’s for women in safe, stable and loving marriages. If your marriage involves abuse, coercion or fear, please seek specialist support first.
• Understand why your desire faded, and what’s getting in the way.
• Find out what will really help.
• Leave with a tailored plan for what comes next.
Who It Helps
You might choose an intensive for women if:
- You love your husband, but you don’t want sex any more.
- Sex has become a source of tension, guilt or avoidance.
- Menopause, a new baby or stress has knocked your desire for six.
- You feel disconnected from your body or your own sexuality.
- You’ve worked through my Want Him Again workbook and want to go deeper.
- You want sex to be a joyful, central part of your marriage, and your life.
Would you rather work on it together? If your husband is ready to come too, my 1-Day Couples Intensive brings you both into the room.
How it Works
Your intensive can be online from home or in person in Axbridge, Somerset. The structure is simple:
The intensive is structured in two clear halves.
Morning · 3 hours
Discovery
We look at your story: your desire, your body, your marriage, your history, and what’s really getting in the way.
Afternoon · 2.5 hours
Recovery
This is solution-focused work. We decide what to clear and what to add, how to talk to your husband, and practical steps for your body and mind.
Within 7 days
Your Action Plan
A tailored, detailed but easy-to-follow PDF plan, written once I’ve reviewed the full day. Yours to keep and work from.
Following the intensive, I will prepare a tailored, detailed but easy-to-follow PDF action plan.
This will include:
- Personal guidance for your body, mind and lifestyle.
- What to clear and what to add, in order of priority.
- Practical recommendations and techniques you can apply immediately.
The action plan is sent after the session, once I’ve had time to reflect on the full day.
Online intensives take place via Zoom. International clients are very welcome, and the booking system works in your local time zone.
In-person intensives follow the same structure. If you’d like, I can arrange lunch for you at a local pub during the break.
The Comprehensive Action Plan (Included)
Unlike traditional therapy where you rely on memory and notes, every intensive includes a detailed, personalized PDF action plan delivered within 1 week.
Each plan is crafted specifically for you after I’ve reviewed the full recording of your session, analysed what’s getting in the way, and identified the precise leverage points for change.
Your action plan includes:
- Personal guidance on your desire, your body, your mind and your lifestyle
- Clear next steps, including how to talk to your husband and what to ask of him
- Practical techniques and strategies you can implement immediately
- My professional observations and recommendations based on the full day’s work
- Follow-up suggestions for maintaining momentum
The action plan transforms a single day of intensive work into a roadmap you can reference for months to come.
I record the entire session (with your written consent), then spend hours reviewing every detail, analysing patterns, identifying turning points, and noting exactly what each of you needs to work on. The recording is used solely for creating your plan and is permanently deleted on the same day as your intensive. See our privacy policy for full details.
Every client leaves with a structured 90-day action plan. Here’s an example from a couples intensive.
(This is simplified with fake text for illustration. Yours would be built around you.)
Investment £2,250
This includes:
- 5.5 hours of focused, one-to-one work with Laura (Discovery + Recovery sessions)
- Complete session recording and analysis
- Comprehensive personalized PDF action plan (delivered within 7 days)
- Follow-up email support for clarification questions about your plan
- The equivalent depth of 8-10 weekly sessions, but with concentrated momentum
The day: 9am-12pm (UK Time) Discovery, a 1.5 hour lunch break, then 1.30pm-4pm (UK Time) Recovery. In person, let me know if you would like a table booked at a local pub for lunch. Online, you will re-join using the same Zoom link after lunch.
Why this investment? Fridays are reserved exclusively for intensives. This isn’t time taken from regular scheduling but dedicated space that allows me to fully commit to your situation. The intensive format, combined with extensive post-session analysis and action plan development, represents a premium intervention for women who want accelerated progress.
Due to demand from my YouTube community and limited Friday availability, intensives typically book 4-6 weeks in advance. If you’re in crisis, check availability immediately.

H.
“With the help of Laura I’ve healed parts of me I didn’t even realise needed healing, I’ve grown as a woman and handled battles I never thought I could have.”

Real stories from wives
Is It Worth the Effort?
Real Wives Answer
Read this if you’re a wife and you’re sceptical.
Don’t just take my word for it. I’ve heard from dozens of wives who stopped waiting to be in the mood, and their stories are wonderful. Women who thought their desire had gone for good are enjoying sex again, often to their own surprise.

Common Questions About 1-Day Intensives
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions we’re asked about working with a therapist online. If your question isn’t covered here, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to respond, even if you’re just exploring whether counselling is right for you.
Does my husband need to come?
No. This day is just for you. If it would help later, we can talk about bringing him in, or a couples intensive.
Do I need to prepare anything?
I’ll send you a short questionnaire once you book. That gives me everything I need to prepare for your day. Beyond that, just come ready to be honest.
What if I’m not sure I want sex at all any more?
That’s where many women start. You don’t have to feel it yet. We’ll look at what’s happened, what’s getting in the way, and what’s possible for you.
Can I book further sessions afterwards?
Absolutely. Many women carry on with ongoing one-to-one sessions after their intensive, to keep the momentum going.
Is the session recorded?
Yes, with your written consent. I record the full session (audio only) so I can create a comprehensive action plan for you afterward. This lets me review patterns and details I might have missed in the moment. The recording is stored securely, transcribed and deleted on the same day it was recorded. You can decline recording if you prefer, though your action plan will be less detailed. Full details are in our privacy policy.
Is the recording shared with me?
No. The recording is purely for my analysis and is deleted after your action plan is completed. Everything remains completely confidential.
