Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy is highly specialised work that requires an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology as well as pharmacology. All of which need to be integrated into a medical model and applied into a psychotherapeutic framework.
What is Psychosexual Therapy?
Psychosexual therapy is the process of addressing both sexual and relationship difficulties on either an individual or couple basis. The physical and psychological aspects of the individual or couple are explored using full clinical assessment in order to produce the best possible treatment options. Psychological approaches are used to understand how your difficulty formed (psychodynamic approach) and how your difficulty is maintained (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach), therefore allowing a treatment plan to be developed.
Can I choose which therapist I see?
Yes, certainly. Psychosexual difficulties are complicated and sensitive topics. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist in order to get the most from your treatment.
Will PST help if my problem is physical?
Physical issues such as, for men, an inability to achieve an erection or experiencing ejaculation difficulties, orgasm problems or an inability to become aroused, and for women, orgasm difficulties, loss of lubrication and/or painful intercourse can all be addressed using PST
Do I have to talk about my past?
Some reasons for sexual issues such as loss of interest/ desire for sex or addiction/ obsession with sexual stimuli can be linked to your past i.e. sexual violence/ abuse or negative/ abusive messages from childhood. To help you overcome your difficulties it is important to understand your past.

I went into the sessions with a very sceptical mindset surrounding therapy and almost as a last resort for treatment for my delayed ejaculation. The main thing that exceeded my expectations was the fact that with the right mindset and thought processes it can solve these issues. This was all down the expertise of the practitioner (Sian) in helping me to open up.
I learned how to open up more, control negative thoughts and move away from learned behaviours.
I now enjoy a fully functioning sex life.
