Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy is a talking therapy which explores sexual difficulties and sets them within a wider framework to explore and understand individual experiences, to think about contributing factors and challenge negative thought patterns to develop a personalised treatment plan for improvement.
Issues I work with (not an exhaustive list):
Desire and arousal difficulties
Sexual anxiety
Painful intercourse
Vaginismus
Erectile difficulties
Premature or delayed ejaculation
Compulsive sexual behaviours (including compulsive porn use)
Sexuality
How it works
In the initial stages of therapy we will take a focused approach to looking at both psychological and physiological factors as well as considering your own background and influences to create a full picture of what is happening.
We will develop a strategy for working with the difficulties and this may vary but could entail homework and exercises as well as possibly requesting specific tests to gain further clarity
Relationship Therapy
Life throws us all kinds of curve balls and relationship therapy can be used in a number of different ways for positive change. It can be a rewarding and enriching experience to deepen a relationship and work on areas such as communication and improving sexual connection.
Relationship therapy can also be used to work through difficulties which may have presented within the relationship such as feelings of disconnection, conflict resolution difficulties, affairs, difficulties navigating life’s challenges such as loss and life transition.
Improving communication skills can be fundamental to constructive and fruitful re-engagement with each other and pave the way to a more constructive and fulfilling relationship.
I work with a kaleidoscope of sexualities and relationship styles including multi-partnered relationships.
Creating the space to explore and be curious about each other’s experiences, thoughts and dreams can lead to deepened mutual understanding and intimacy.
