About Lina
My name is Lina Milner. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand what is happening in their relationships, sexuality and emotional lives, and to find a steadier way forward.
“The greatest gift we can give another is a safe place to be themselves.”

Experience
I am an integrative relationship and psychosexual therapist and clinical supervisor, and have been in clinical practice since 2010. I specialise in working with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, sexual problems and difficulties with intimacy. I also have experience in working with the impact of sexual trauma and the effects of physical and long-term health conditions on relationships and sexuality, particularly cancer and its treatment.
I currently hold a part-time position as Clinical Practice Lead for Relationship and Psychosexual Therapy with Relate, part of the national charity Family Action. Alongside this role, I continue my private clinical practice and provide clinical supervision to therapists.
Previously, I held the post of Senior Psychosexual Therapist in Oncology at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, working with individuals and couples affected by cancer and its treatment. Earlier in my career, I worked with Relate London North West as a relationship and psychosexual therapist and clinical supervisor.
My work experience is listed on LinkedIn.
I am trained in psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, systemic and cognitive behavioural approaches, which I integrate and adapt to the needs of each individual or couple.
I maintain a well-established private practice where I place particular importance on privacy, discretion and a personal approach. Confidentiality is central to every aspect of my work, and I aim to provide a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about aspects of their relationships, sexuality and lives that may be difficult to discuss elsewhere.
