Psychosexual Therapy – also known as sex therapy – is designed to support individuals and/or couples who are looking to open up and resolve their sex and intimacy-related thoughts, feelings, and issues using a specialised form of therapy.
Psychosexual therapy is a non-invasive mindful / talking therapy that does not involve any physical interaction between yourself and the therapist. Psychosexual concerns can be either physical or emotional; however, emotional issues can be the cause or result of experiencing physical problems.
Issues can include a loss of interest in sexual activity, lower sex drive / low libido, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus and/or difficulty climaxing. We understand sex and intimacy can be challenging topics to discuss.
All of our therapists are registered counsellors, and whether online or in-person, our sessions offer a safe space where your problems and feelings can be heard by therapists who will offer non-judgmental support.
Sexual-related concerns can range from a variety of issues, from past traumas to pornography addictions to menopause. The therapist will explore the various physical, psychological, emotional, and environmental factors that could be contributing to your sexual issues.
Your first appointment will allow you to ask your therapist any questions and better understand how psychosexual therapy sessions work.
The therapists will also discuss your concerns and the desired outcome from psychosexual therapy. You and your chosen therapist will discuss the most suitable and comfortable way to move forward with future sessions and bookings.
Your therapy sessions are planned to work for you. It is important to know that your therapist will consider your concerns and move at a pace that best suits your circumstances.
Psychosexual therapy is available for anyone and everyone, should they want it, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, relationship status, or cultural or religious background.
