psychosexual therapy
Most of us experience sexual problems at some point in our lives. It may be a problem you've had for a long time or it might be something that has developed after a previously good sex life. If you find that you've had a sexual problem for over six months and it isn't going away, psychosexual therapy could be the help you need.
There are many ways problems can arise in our sex lives. Some sexual problems are physical in nature, usually the result of a disability, an illness or the side-effect of medication. Some problems are psychological in nature, usually a response to negative childhood messages regarding sex or the effect of a sexual trauma.
The majority of sexual problems, however, are a combination of physical and psychological elements. They might be rooted in relationship difficulties or in fact themselves contribute to a relationship breaking down. Whatever the case, sex problems cause distress not only to the individual but also to partners.
Sexual problems include erectile difficulties, sexual phobias, loss of desire, premature ejaculation, not able to orgasm or difficulty in achieving orgasm, arousal disorders, pain, dyspareunia and vaginismus.
In sex therapy I will help you manage your problems and help you find a way to move on from them through an individual treatment plan. The work is confidential and safe. Referrals can come from either your GP or consultant or you can make an appointment directly by contacting me.
