Sexual difficulties are not uncommon. Many of us may experience difficulties such as erectile dysfunction or loss of desire at some point in our lives. This however can be a source of distress and anxiety in our relationships and can have a negative effect on how you relate emotionally with your partners. Sometimes, because of a sexual difficulty, intimacy of any kind can be avoided in the relationship ie. hugging/kissing our partner, sometimes sex/intimacy is lost all together. Sex is a very emotive topic, for some couples and one that can be difficult to talk about, which can further impact the closeness in your relationship.
Psychosexual therapy can be extremely beneficial if you are experiencing sexual difficulties in your relationship. Psychosexual therapy can help you each understand why these issues have evolved, helping you to reengage with sexual intimacy within your relationship.
Psychosexual therapy can support with a range of sexual problems, such as:
- Erectile dysfunction,
- Premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation
- Vaginismus (penetration difficulties)
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
- Inability to achieve orgasm.
- Loss of sexual desire or sex has ceased to be part of the relationship.
Psychosexual therapy offers couples and individuals treatment plans for the specific sexual difficulty. These plans involve behavioural tasks which are completed within the privacy of your own home.
I work with gender and sexual diversity in clients in an affirmative manner.
If you are experiencing any of the difficulties outlined above, then please do get in touch and we can organise an appointment via zoom for an Initial Assessment.
Sex and Porn Addiction
Sex Addiction refers to compulsive thoughts or actions which lead to sex, masturbation, or porn use.
Sex addiction can have devastating impacts on the sufferer and their families. Many sex addicts experience relationship breakdowns, financial and work-related problems, exposure to STDs and shame and anxiety.
I work with both the individual and the partner where sex addiction is identified.
If you are concerned, then please do get in touch with me and we can organise an assessment.
