Psychosexual Therapy
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 long-term partnership can all affect your sexual wellbeing — sometimes without you even realising.
Addressing the Root Causes of Sexual Struggles
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
This means you will:
Reconnect with your body after surgery, treatment, or trauma
Navigate changes in desire, arousal, or sexual function
Rebuild emotional and erotic connection with your partner
Explore grief, fear, anger, or identity shifts that often accompany illness
Reclaim your right to pleasure, presence, and relational closeness
Our services
Psychosexual Therapy for Men
We offer a safe, non-judgmental space for men to explore concerns like low desire, erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, compulsive porn use, and disconnection from arousal or intimacy.
Sexual challenges can feel isolating, but they often hold deeper emotional and relational roots. Our work goes beyond symptom management — we help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and support you to rebuild confidence, reconnect with your body, and move toward a more satisfying, secure experience of sex and intimacy.
Psychosexual Therapy for Women
We support women in addressing concerns like vaginismus, pain during sex, low arousal, and menopause-related changes in a space that’s safe, respectful, and free of shame.
These challenges are more common than many realise — and they are treatable. With a bold, compassionate approach, we help you reconnect with your body, work through what’s getting in the way of pleasure, and build a more confident, connected sexual self.
Onco-sexology:
Psychosexual Support After Cancer
Illness changes everything — including how you feel in your body, how you relate to touch, and how you experience desire. Whether you're navigating the effects of breast cancer, prostate cancer, or other medical treatment, intimacy can become fraught, confusing, or distant.
At The Fitzroy Practice, our oncosexology support helps you rebuild a new, more compassionate relationship with your body and your sexuality.
In a safe, supportive space, we work with you to gently restore confidence, revive desire, and reconnect with your sensual, vibrant self — on your own terms and in your own time.
Multicultural and Faith-Based Couples
We work with couples whose experiences of intimacy, sex, and conception are shaped by cultural or religious values.
In a safe, respectful space, we explore challenges such as unconsummated marriages, shame around desire, or difficulty communicating about sex — all with sensitivity and care.
Our focus is on helping couples build emotional closeness, sexual confidence, and a fulfilling intimate life that honours both their beliefs and their evolving needs.
