Psychosexual Therapy

Sexual difficulties can affect anyone at any stage of life and may have a profound impact on self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. While it can feel daunting to seek help, talking with a trained psychosexual therapist can be an important step toward understanding and resolving these issues.

My aim is to help you to experience sexuality as a joyful and integral part of who you arefocusing on sensuality and pleasure rather than societal or cultural expectations.

We will consider if any medical advice or treatment from your GP is necessary or not.

My hope is to offer you a safe, confidential space to explore your experiences, beliefs, and feelings about sex and intimacy.

I work with both individuals and couples, helping them navigate a wide range of sexual and relational concerns, such as:

  • Difficulties with desire or arousal
  • Painful sex (including vaginismus or vulval pain)
  • Erection or ejaculation difficulties
  • Orgasm difficulties
  • Low libido
  • Anxiety or avoidance related to sex
  • Sexual shame or identity concerns
  • Compulsive sexual behaviour
  • The impact of childhood sexual abuse or trauma
  • Changes in sexuality linked to menopause, ageing, or illness
  • Gender and sexual diversities
  • Concerns about sexual pleasure, health, or well-being

How we might explore:

In our sessions, my aim is to work with you to find effective ways for you to address your primary concerns and experience lasting change. I use a range of approaches and techniques, including negotiated practice exercises to explore between sessions. These might involve reflective activities, communication exercises, or guided techniques that help you integrate insights from therapy into your daily life.

Sessions may include:
• Behavioural exercises such as self-help techniques, mindfulness, or meditation
• Identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs or thought patterns
• Sex education and psychosexual awareness
• Enhancing communication and emotional connection
• Developing and practising new relational or personal skills

The overall aim is to enhance feeling truly connected to yourself and your partner.
