Everyone will encounter difficulties in their sex life at some point. If there are any issues playing on your mind, or you want to improve your physical connection with your partner, we want to help.

Everybody has their own experiences, preferences and needs. That’s why we never make assumptions or judgements about anyone that wants to work with us. Our qualified professionals listen to your problems and help you find the best way to address them.

How can sex therapy help?

Sex therapy helps relieve some of the anxiety most people have about discussing their sex life openly. It’s normal to feel awkward or slightly uncomfortable at first. We create an environment that eliminates any stigma associated with talking about sexual difficulties.

We also help address specific problems that may include:

• Having a different sex drive to your partner
• Problems with erection or ejaculation
• Issues with penetrative sex
• Difficulties having an orgasm
• A lack of enjoyment from sex
• Feeling like you’re stuck in a routine and wanting to try something new
• Health issues affecting sex
• Life changes such as menopause and pregnancy affecting sex

You can attend sessions on your own, or with a partner. Our services are inclusive of all genders and sexualities.

What can I expect during my sessions?

Your first appointment will last an hour and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about our service or sex therapy in general. If you’re in a relationship, we recommend that you bring your partner. You’ll be offered a regular appointment if your therapist feels sex therapy will help you.

Your next three appointments will be a ‘history take’ to explore your experiences. This will give your therapist a better idea of what issues you’re facing. If you’re attending as a couple, you’ll do the history take separately.

Your following appointments can be attended together or separately. During these, your therapist will help guide you towards resolving issues in your sex life. You’ll be given advice and exercises you can do in the privacy of your own home.
