How Does It Work?

Psychosexual therapy works by combining talking therapy with education and structured exercises. Clients explore the emotional and psychological factors affecting their sexual wellbeing. The therapist offers tailored strategies, encourages open communication and supports clients in developing healthier sexual beliefs, behaviours and relationships.

Who is It For?

This therapy is suitable for individuals or couples experiencing sexual problems such as low desire, erectile difficulties, pain during sex or anxiety around intimacy. It is helpful for people of all genders and sexual orientations, including those recovering from trauma or life changes.

What Happens in a Session?

In a session, clients discuss their concerns at a pace that feels comfortable. The therapist may provide information, suggest exercises to try at home and support emotional exploration.
