Psychosexual Therapy

Addressing the Root Causes of Sexual Struggles

When desire fades, pleasure is replaced by pain, or intimacy feels out of reach, the issue often runs deeper than the bedroom.


Grief, shame, trauma, illness, disconnection, or the slow drift of a long-term partnership can all affect your sexual wellbeing — sometimes without you even realising.

 Intimacy demands vulnerability — there’s no love without risk.

Our approach is grounded in a biopsychosocial understanding of relationships and sexuality.

We address:

  • The Body: hormonal changes, menopause, pain, cancer recovery, SSRI-related shifts

  • The Mind: anxiety, shame, trauma, and inherited messages about sex

  • The Relationship: mismatched desire, emotional disconnection, conflict, or silence

  • The Symbolic: kinks, fantasies, and unconscious roles shaping erotic life

  • A deeper understanding of your sexual self

  • Relief from shame and secrecy

  • Reconnection with desire and pleasure

  • Greater emotional and erotic intimacy

  • A sexual life rooted in truth rather than fear

  • The chance to feel at home in your body again

What This Work Can Offer

Our services

 

Psychosexual Therapy for Men

We offer a safe, non-judgmental space for men to explore challenges such as low desire, erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, compulsive porn use, and a sense of disconnection from arousal or intimacy.

Sexual issues can feel deeply isolating, yet they often speak to something more — unmet needs, unspoken fears, or patterns of self-protection that once made sense but now get in the way of closeness.

Our work goes beyond managing symptoms. Together, we uncover what lies beneath, helping you rebuild confidence, reconnect with your body, and experience sex and intimacy as places of genuine connection rather than performance or pressure.

 

Psychosexual Therapy for Women

We support women in addressing concerns such as vaginismus, pain during sex, low arousal, and menopause-related changes — within a space that is safe, respectful, and free from shame.

These experiences are more common than many realise — and entirely treatable. Our work invites you to reconnect with your body, understand what stands between you and pleasure, and begin to rebuild confidence, desire, and self-trust. Through a compassionate yet honest approach, we help you rediscover a sense of aliveness and connection in your sexual self.

Onco-sexology:

Psychosexual Support After Cancer

After illness or medical treatment, many people feel distant from their bodies, uncertain about desire, or disconnected from intimacy. These changes can be painful — but they are not permanent.

Oncosexology provides a safe, compassionate space to explore what’s changed and what remains possible. Together, we work to gently restore confidence, rekindle pleasure, and rediscover a meaningful connection to your body and sexuality.

 

Multicultural and Faith-Based Couples

We work with couples whose experiences of intimacy, sex, and conception are shaped by cultural, familial, or religious values.

In a respectful, non-judgmental space, we explore challenges such as unconsummated marriages, shame around desire, or difficulty communicating about sex — with deep sensitivity to the meanings these experiences hold.

Our work supports couples in developing emotional closeness, sexual confidence, and a shared intimate life that honours both their beliefs and their personal growth.

Sexual difficulties are rarely just physical — they live in the body, the mind, the relationship, and the stories we carry about who we are allowed to be. The work here is about understanding what your sexual struggles are asking for, not just trying to silence the symptom.

We work with individuals and couples across a wide range of concerns, always holding your experience with care, curiosity, and respect for your unique identity, body, and relationships.

Areas of Psychosexual Support

  • Desire, Arousal & Erotic Connection (All Genders)

    Kink, Fetish & Erotic Identity (All Genders)

    Shame or anxiety around fetishes or kink

    Disclosure of kink to partners

    Mismatched erotic needs
