Tarisha Tourok @Couples Therapy

Relationship and sex therapist, Auckland, New Zealand and worldwide online

I’m passionate about supporting couples to create a deeply connected relationship and exciting physical intimacy.

I bring Emotionally Focused Therapy and sex therapy together. I help you stop having that same argument again and again, understand each other better, and become lovers again.

Many couples I see want more sexual fulfilment, experience sexual difficulties, or have a history of unwanted sexual experiences. My work is trauma-informed, and we go at a pace that feels safe for both of you.

I don’t teach this only from books. My partner Mark and I know the dance of pursue and withdraw from our own experience, and we actively use these practices in our relationship. I know how painful that cycle is. I also know how good it feels when it changes.

I developed the Sexually Empowered Radiant Woman Method, which brings together Eastern sacred sexuality teachings and Western psychotherapy. It gives women practical steps to connect with their sensuality and sexuality and enjoy fulfilling intimacy.

You can work with me in regular couples therapy, online or in person at Three Lamps Therapy in Ponsonby. I also offer private couples intensives over two or three days, which are a really powerful way to shift the dynamic between you in a short time. And Mark and I lead couples retreats together.

I live in Titirangi, Auckland, New Zealand with Mark and two children. We love mountain biking, hiking and skiing.

I’d love to offer you a complimentary Get the Love You Desire Discovery Session. Apply at couplestherapy.co.nz.
