KATARINA WARRAS

Certified Sexologist & Relationship Therapist

I’m an international sexologist and relationship therapist, and my work is informed by IFS (parts work, inner child healing). My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, supporting clients in exploring both their emotional and relational worlds with care and depth.

In our sessions, we don’t focus only on thoughts and talk therapy, but we also work with the body. I offer practical somatic tools and gently guide clients through experiences that support integration, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Global Humanities and Social Psychology, during which I also studied decolonial psychology and therapeutic practice across cultures.

My practice provides a safe, inclusive space for individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. I bring personal experience in both monogamous and open relationship dynamics, allowing me to support clients across diverse relational contexts.

(Note that I am not a licensed psychotherapist)

MY JOURNEY

Something I used to always struggle with was feeling like I was the lower libido partner in my relationship. Like there was something wrong with me. Like my body was broken or failing me for not feeling as turned on as my partners.

This feeling of brokenness catapulted me on my journey of sexual self discovery with the goal to fix myself in 2019. What I learned was that I was never broken, I just didn't know how to listen to what my body was trying to tell me. I didn't understand the numbness was years of ignoring my boundaries and inner voice. Saying yes when I wanted to say no but I didn't want to be difficult. Not knowing how to ask for what I needed in a relationship, tolerating, and not standing up for myself. Further, realising I had never felt truly safe with a partner because I hadn’t felt truly safe within myself. I didn't trust myself, and struggled to be vulnerable with others. After understanding my wounds around sex and desire, I understood that I had been carrying these deeper relational and emotional wounds with me since childhood.

Ultimately when it comes to sex and relationships, understanding creates space for compassion. Wether relational or sexual, this is why I aim to help my clients understand the root cause of why something is happening, and then how to move forward. By learning and understanding how our bodies and minds work, and by reconnecting and honoring our body, and authentic needs and erotic selves - we return back home to ourselves.

True commitment is not just committing to stay together.

True commitment is committing to being transparent, to nurturing the relationship, to practice open communication, to be accountable, to grow as a couple and to doing the work.

Our lack of awareness of what we truly want from others (our unspoken desires) significantly contribute to our frustrations and depression.
