When people have problems in their sexual relationships it can often help to talk with a trained therapist as well as with the GP (who may well suggest counselling alongside any medical treatment). I am happy to work with individuals or couples providing a space where both parties can express themselves on a range of issues. The following issueswould benefit from psychosexual therapy:
Erectile dysfunction
Rapid or delayed ejaculation
Desire or arousal difficulties
Painful intercourse
Vaginismus
Sexual identity
Sexual shame
Compulsive behaviour
Sexual health
The impact of childhood sexual abuse
Gender and sexual diversities: (LGBT/non-monogamies/kink)
Approaching sexual issues
I integrate my knowledge by drawing on elements of different therapeutic approaches – offering a safe place to discuss, explore and address your goals and concerns.
I am passionate about people experiencing sexuality as an integral and joyful part of themselves. I hope to encourage an emphasis on sensuality and pleasure rather than what is a gendered, cultural and social performance. For the client to explore what works best and to become more open to having a good-enough sexual experience.
What does it involve?
The focus of sessions can be finding the right tools to aid with your main issues. This maybe a blend of behavioural activities, education, self-help tools, mindfulness, meditation and breathing techniques. The therapeutic relationship itself supports individuals and couples in rediscovering themselves sexually, whilst developing a more conscious sexual self-esteem.
