About me

Relationships are beautifully complex — especially when intimacy, neurodivergence, identity, or communication become challenging.

I’m Carolien Gibb, a Board-Certified Sexologist and Neuropsychology Researcher offering online therapy and couples counselling in Germany and across Europe/UK.

My work supports individuals and couples in exploring sexual health, gender identity, ADHD relationship dynamics, emotional connection, and body experience through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. I provide a safe, respectful space to explore intimacy, identity, desire, gender-related distress, or relational disconnection — without shame or judgment.

Whether you’re navigating ADHD in your relationship, questioning aspects of your identity, experiencing gender dysphoria, seeking to rediscover pleasure, or rebuilding trust after conflict, I help you reconnect with yourself and your partner with clarity, insight, and confidence.

Therapy Focus:

• Sex Therapy & Sexual Health • Gender Identity Exploration & Gender Dysphoria Support • Couples Counselling for ADHD & Neurodivergent Partners • Relationship Therapy for Emotional Regulation, Desire & Trust • Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment Collaboration

Sessions available in English and Afrikaans, online.

Let’s make sense of your connection — mind, body, identity, and relationship.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
GSRD therapyRecommended for those seeking affirmative support and guidance while navigating the complexities of identity, sexuality, and relationships.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.

My therapeutic approach combines sexology, neuropsychology, and relational therapy, ensuring the whole person is seen — emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

I integrate methods such as CBT, sex therapy, and relationship counselling, always tailored to your unique neurotype and life experience. My style is structured, compassionate, and deeply affirming for neurodivergent clients and LGBTQ+ relationships.
