Oncosexology
At The Fitzroy Practice, we offer specialist oncosexology support for individuals and couples navigating the impact of cancer, chronic illness, or medical treatment on their intimate lives.
Our work begins with understanding the physical, emotional, and relational changes that follow treatment.
We recognise the quiet losses that often go unspoken: feeling disconnected from your body, uncertain about desire, or fearful of being touched.
In therapy, we explore these experiences gently, at your pace, helping you regain a sense of agency and confidence.
Illness can alter more than just the body; it can shake your sense of identity, shift how you relate to touch, and create distance in even the most loving relationships.
Whether you're experiencing changes in arousal, desire, sensation, or body image, we offer a compassionate space to explore what intimacy means now, without shame, pressure, or expectation.
