Sex therapy, also known as psychosexual therapy, is a type of talking therapy that focusses on issues related to sex, intimacy, sexuality, and relationships.

The first session is typically an assessment session where we explore what has brought you to therapy and whether this type of therapy is suitable for your needs. We will then have a few sessions aimed at building a bigger picture of your therapeutic goals and the different factors contributing to the difficulties you’re experiencing. This understanding will allow us to guide our therapeutic process more effectively, ensuring that it aligns with your unique needs and goals.

Following that, we will engage in a therapeutic process tailored to your specific context, which we identified in the earlier sessions. This process will often involve gentle exercises for you to try at home, helping you build new tools and skills to address the difficulties you’re experiencing. These exercises are also focussed on supporting you in connecting with yourself, your body, and your sexual needs.

Whether you choose to engage in therapy individually or attend with a partner or partners, the focus will be on supporting you in the way that feels most comfortable and right for you. Psychosexual therapy aims to empower you to reconnect with yourself and improve your sexual and relational wellbeing.
