PSYCHOSEXUAL AND RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy

Psychosexual and relationship therapy offers a confidential, compassionate space to explore concerns around sex, intimacy, identity, and relationships. The work is grounded in a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and inclusive approach, supporting clients to feel safe, respected, and understood.

The therapist is currently completing a Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS). Following submission and marking of current coursework, full therapeutic services for individual clients will be available from November.

At present, sessions focus on initial assessment and formulation, allowing space to gently explore each client’s experiences, needs, and goals before moving into deeper therapeutic work.

Areas of support include:

• Sexuality and sexual identity
  (sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQI+ / GSRD allied)

• Gender identity and expression

• Sexual function concerns, including:

  • vaginismus

  • dyspareunia / anodyspareunia (pain during sex)

  • anorgasmia

  • low sexual desire

  • erection difficulties

  • premature or delayed ejaculation

• Sexual health

• Sexual trauma

• Shame

• Compulsive sexual behaviours

• Fertility-related challenges

• Relationship difficulties, including communication challenges, infidelity, and differences in libido
