About Me

My name is Leyla Gulcur. I’m a psychologist by training but I also wear many other hats: university instructor, sexuality educator, qigong teacher — and much more.

A long-time practitioner of tai chi, bagua and meditation, I have combined my experience and background in Western psychology, Chinese medicine, Tantra and Taoist energy arts to create a pleasure-based coaching practice.

My program is designed specifically to help individuals and couples craft conscious ways of relating with each other through the enhancement of communication skills, emotional vitality and sexual polarity.

The Practical Pleasure Program

Session Structure & How We Work Together

Sessions Tailored to Your Needs:

Sessions are designed to fit your lifestyle and commitment level, taking place every one to two weeks via secure online video. To create lasting change, we work together in structured packages ranging from 8 to 16 sessions, allowing time for deep transformation.

Personalized Assessment & Immediate Action:
Our journey begins with an in-depth exploration of your relationship and sexual history, attachment style, and current patterns. From the very first session, you’ll receive practical tools and solutions to apply right away—so you start seeing results immediately.

Ongoing Coaching & Experiential Learning:
Each session blends coaching, psychoeducation, and guided experiential exercises to help you:

✔ Break unhelpful communication cycles and replace them with more effective, emotionally attuned strategies.
✔ Develop greater somatic awareness, uncovering subconscious patterns that may be limiting connection and desire.
✔ Release blocks to deeper intimacy and sexual polarity, creating more ease, confidence, and vitality in your relationships.

Integration Through Practice:
Between sessions, you'll receive weekly or bi-weekly “play practices” tailored to your unique journey—things you can explore solo or with a partner. These practices deepen what we cover in sessions, ensuring that insight turns into lasting, embodied change. Each session builds upon the last, refining and adapting as we go.

This is more than just coaching—it’s a guided path toward a more fulfilling, connected, and pleasure-filled life.

Integrating Pleasure Into Your Daily Life

Each session leaves you with a personalized pleasure toolkit—practical, accessible exercises designed to bring more ease, connection, and fulfillment into your daily life.

As we move forward, your toolkit will evolve, with tailored practices that fit seamlessly into your routine—whether at home or on the go. These exercises help you deepen intimacy, expand self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of aliveness in your relationships and within yourself.

The goal isn’t just to give you tools—it’s to help you embody a new way of being. A life where your desires guide you with clarity and confidence, where relationships fuel growth and passion, and where pleasure becomes a natural, sustainable part of your everyday experience.
