Sex Therapy
A satisfying sex life is healthy and natural. Physical and emotional intimacy are essential parts of a fulfilling relationship and lead to mental and physical well-being. Most people will experience sexual difficulties at some point in their lives. This could be due to stress, mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, past abuse or trauma, physical health conditions, lifestyle factors such as over-work, issues in their relationship, and life transitions such as having children.
A sexual problem occurs when it stops being a source of connection and instead causes persistent distress, resentment, or a sense of obligation. This can lead to a variety of emotions and feelings ranging from minor frustration to severe distress, resulting in relationship difficulties, a loss of confidence, and many other negative effects.
I am skilled and experienced in treating individuals and couples for a range of sexual difficulties including:
-
A lack of sexual desire or a desire discrepancy in a couple
-
A lack of interest or infrequent sex
-
Erectile dysfunction
-
Premature ejaculation
-
Pain during sex (dyspareunia)
-
Penetration difficulties on intercourse (Vaginismus)
-
Inability to reach orgasm (Anorgasmia)
-
Pornography addiction
I employ an integrative approach to sex therapy, incorporating sexology, counselling, psychotherapy, and behavioural techniques. My sessions provide a supportive non-judgemental space where clients can gain insight into their current difficulties and learn practical ways to improve fundamental aspects of their sex life or sexual wellbeing.
Sex is a sensitive issue that many couples struggle to talk about, so they sadly suffer in silence. There is plenty of evidence available to demonstrate that sex therapy works. If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions please contact me and I will be happy to offer advice about how sex therapy may benefit your situation.
