Psychosexual therapy (or sex therapy) is counselling specifically for those who are having sexual difficulties. Sex can be a difficult subject to talk about, and talking about sexual problems with our family and friends can be taboo. This can often make us feel very isolated and lonely, however, sex therapists are trained counsellors who understand how difficult this can be.
What is sex therapy?
Compulsive sex & porn use
Compulsive sex & porn use
Compulsive sexual behaviours are probably not what you think they are. They are not about having a high sex drive, neither are they a moral failing. They are often not about being stuck in an unhappy relationship. If sex and porn is being used compulsively, it is likely a mechanism to help deal with difficult or uncomfortable feelings
Loss of Sexual Interest
Loss of Sexual Interest
Loss of sexual interest is one of the most common reasons why people seek out sex therapy and despite what we have been led to believe, loss of sexual motivation can affect men just as much as women. A mismatch in a couple’s desire for sex can have a devastating effect on the relationship.
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common sexual problems experienced by men of all ages. We only need to look at how popular Viagra and other ED drugs are to know the scale of the problem.
Vulval pain conditions
Vulval pain conditions
Vulval pain conditions, such as vaginismus or vulvodynia are conditions that make penetrative sex very painful or impossible, even if you are aroused and happy to have sex. These conditions can be very distressing for both you and your partner.
Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation isn’t necessarily about a man ejaculating too quickly. A better description would be that he comes before he is ready to. This can mean that he has no sense of control over when he ejaculates. This can sometimes lead to frustration for both him and his partner.

Sexual Shame
Sexual Shame
Sexual shame is very common, however, in our culture, this is not something you will hear many people openly discuss. Often our first experiences of sexuality as children are met with shame responses from other children or adults, making us want to hide our sexual selves.
