Frameworks and clinical approach

Lottie is not a general counsellor. She is a specialist in relationships, intimacy and sex, using several key frameworks:

1. Relationship Designer approach

   • Helps couples profile their relationship: communication style, emotional needs, sexual patterns, attachment templates and unspoken rules.

   • The focus is on moving from “default relationship” to “relationship by design”.

2. The Erotic Wound Method

   • Lottie’s signature concept.

   • Couples don’t come together despite their wounds, but because of them. Partners unconsciously re-stage early pain in the hope of healing it.

   • Therapy identifies these wounds, brings them into awareness and creates safer, more intimate ways of relating.

3. Five Pillars of Assessment (for couples)

   1. Relational history and family background

   2. Presenting problems and triggers

   3. Sexual history and current sexual functioning

   4. Dynamics between partners (power, attachment, communication, conflict)

   5. Relationship goals and shared vision

Her style is warm, honest and willing to name difficult truths so that couples can grow. Two of her core messages are:

• “Conflict is growth trying to happen.”

• “Saving relationships – one uncomfortable truth at a time.”
