What is psychosexual therapy?

Psychosexual therapy is a blend of psychotherapy that resolves the psychological, emotional and physical issues that affect sexual wellbeing. It helps individuals and partners overcome issues like painful sex, erection difficulties, rapid or delayed ejaculation, loss of or mismatched desire, compulsive sexual behaviour, and anxiety or shame around sex.

Does sex therapy involve physical touch?

No. Sex therapy is a talk therapy, like counselling and psychotherapy. There is no physical or sexual contact between the therapist and client. Instead, it focuses on open dialogue, education and exploring strategies to improve sexual wellbeing.

Is sex therapy just about sex?

No. Just as sex is more than just the things we do, sex therapy addresses the emotional, psychological and relational factors that influence sex, not just the physical.

What qualifications do your therapists have?

All of our therapists have, or are in their final year of, a Post Graduate Diploma or Masters Degree in Relationship and/or Psychosexual Therapy. We have therapists ranging from those fresh to the specialism to those with more than 20 years’ experience.
