ELIZABETH HART
INTEGRATIVE THERAPY
INTIMACY COACH/FILM THERAPIST
​
I believe that an intimacy coach should also be a Mental health 1st aider as well as having a deeper understanding of clients psychological and emotional needs. When creating intimate scenes and scenes with a sexual nature, especially around sexual violence it is not enough for a coach to just be trained in movement we must be able to create a secure base and offer on going emotional support too. This is what makes me different.
I have a vast knowledge of sexuality and sexual orientation, as well as an exclusive insight into the intimate lives of clients. Over the years, I have studied “queer relationships”, “GSRD”, “the science of sexual fantasy”, “porn addiction and compulsive sexual behaviour disorder” and “chemsex”. Therefore, I can comfortably assist in formulating intimate scenes.
​
As a Integrative therapist, I am qualified in different approaches, including Systemic, Psychodynamic, Person-centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Using Emotional Freedom Technique can successfully alleviate anxiety and fear. This technique is another useful service I can offer your production as, for many actors, anxiety can be a significant cause of concern when working with intimate scenes. I am also qualified in Tantra so have an in-depth understanding of the body and meditation.
As a qualified Art coach with a diploma in Child psychology I am able to assist productions when working with children, especially when dealing with sensitive subjects. I have a DBS enhanced certificate.
​
What should you expect when working with me? As an intimacy coach, script breakdowns, choreographing scenes, and working with cast members and the director, both individually and together, to form a consensual, harmonious environment. I will also work with the production team to ensure that actors' needs are met, especially when facilitating closed sets. Additionally, I will liaise with the costume and makeup departments to ensure there is appropriate modesty wear and to find out if the required body makeup is available. Then, I will support the production after filming is complete to ensure the actors' wellbeing is being cared for and prioritised.
​
As a Mental health 1st aider and a wellbeing coach you can ensure your crew is working to the best of their capacity with regular check in's and ongoing 'on set' care. Making your crew's mental health a priority can help to prevent burnouts, it creates a positive environment and encourages crew members to communicate their mental health needs.
